不同受体结构染料共敏化对染料敏化太阳电池性能的影响

为了拓宽染料敏化太阳电池对太阳光谱的响应范围,提高电池的光电转换效率,将两种含有不同受体结构（绕丹宁-3-乙酸基（RA）和氰基丙烯酸基（CA））的三苯胺染料（TR1和TC1）进行共敏化。TR1染料平伏吸附在TiO₂表面,而TC1染料直立吸附在TiO₂表面。将两种染料按照不同摩尔比共敏化TiO₂后,TC1占据TR1的部分位置,拓展光谱的同时也抑制了电荷复合,电子寿命较TR1敏化的太阳电池长。在TR1与TC1摩尔比为5：5的共敏剂溶液敏化的共敏电池器件中,短路光电流密度（J_sc）为11.7 mA/cm²,开路电压（V_oc）为704 mV,填充因子（FF）为0.73,光电转换效率（η）为6.03%。该结果明显优于单一染料敏化的电池器件。

Influence of Triarylamine and Indoline as Donor on Photovoltaic Performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Employing Cobalt Redox Shuttle

Two organic dyes XS51 and XS52 derivated from triarylamine and indoline are synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) employing cobalt and iodine redox shuttles. The effects of dye structure upon the photophysical, electro-chemical characteristics and cell performance are investigated. XS51 with four hexyloxyl groups on triarylamine performs better steric hindrance and an improvement of photovoltage. XS52 provides higher short-circuit photocurrent density due to the strong electron-donating capability of indoline unit. The results from the redox electrolyte on cell performances indicate that the synthesized dyes are more suitable for tris(1,10-phenanthroline)cobalt(II/III) redox couple than I^?/I₃^? redox couple in assembling DSCs. Application of XS52 in the cobalt electrolyte yields a DSC with an overall power conversion efficiency of 6.58% under AM 1.5 (100 mW/cm²) irradiation.     

Ultrafast electron transfer in a nanocavity. dimethylaniline to coumarin dyes in hydroxypropyl gamma-cyclodextrin

Photoinduced electron transfer (PET) from N,N-dimethylaniline (DMA) to four coumarin dyes (C151, C481, C153, and C480) inside the cavity of hydroxypropyl gamma-cyclodextrin (hpCD) is studied using femtosecond upconversion. The rate of PET is found to be nonexponential and to vary significantly with the coumarin dyes. The rate for C481 is 100 times faster than that for C480. The PET rate displays a bell-shaped dependence on the free energy change and thus reveals a Marcus-type inverted region. The anisotropy decay of the four dyes in hpCD are found to be very similar, and hence the observed variation in the rate of PET is not due to variation in rotational diffusion of the acceptors (coumarin dyes).

The ultrafast components of electron transfer exhibits a bell-shaped dependence on the free energy change which is similar to the Marcus inversion.

Photoinduced electron transfer reaction in polymer-surfactant aggregates: Photoinduced electron transfer between N,N-dimethylaniline and 7-amino coumarin dyes

Photoinduced electron transfer between coumarin dyes and N,N-dimethylaniline has been investigated by using steady state and picosecond time resolved fluorescence spectroscopy in sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS) micelles and PVP-polyvinyl pyrrolidone (SDS) polymer-surfactant aggregates. A slower rate of electron transfer is observed in PVP-SDS aggregates than in polymer-free SDS micelles. A Marcus type inversion is observed in the correlation of free energy change in comparison with the electron transfer rate. The careful investigation reveals that C-151 deviates from the normal Marcus inverted region compared to its analogs C-152 and C-481 due to slower rotational relaxation and smaller translational diffusion coefficient.     

Photoinduced intermolecular electron transfer from dimethyl aniline to 7-amino coumarin dyes in the surface of beta-cyclodextrin

The photoinduced electron-transfer reaction between Coumarin dyes and N,N-dimethylaniline has been investigated using steady-state and Time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy in the surface of beta-cyclodextrin in dimethyl formamide (DMF) solvent. The electron-transfer rate constant has been correlated with the free-energy change during the process. We have observed a diffusion-controlled ET process in pure DMF by showing a normal Marcus region. However, the picture is different in presence of cyclodextrin. Here the ET is retarded at higher free-energy region. This unusual feature in bimolecular electron-transfer reaction is assumed to be arising from the different binding possibility of the Coumarin molecules to the cyclodextrin moity.     

Simultaneous determination of N,N-dimethylaniline and phenol in wastewater by high-performance liquid chromatography with chemiluminescence detection.

A method using HPLC-CL linkage was developed for simultaneous determination of N,N-dimethylaniline and phenol in wastewater, based on the strong sensitive chemiluminescence of the luminol-K3Fe(CN)6 systems in alkaline medium. The separation was carried out on a Hypersil ODS column with a mobile phase of ethanol-0.01% triethylamine (2:1, v/v). The linear ranges for N,N-dimethylaniline determinations were 2.0 x 10(-7) - 2.5 x 10(-5) g/mL and 4.0 x 10(-5) - 1.5 x 10(-4) g/mL with a detection limit (3sigma) of 1.20 x 10(-8) g/mL; the relative standard deviation (3sigma) for 5.0 x 10(-6) g/mL N,N-dimethylaniline was 1.4% (n = 6). The range for phenol was from 5.1 x 10(-7) to 1.3 x 10(-4) g/mL, and a detection limit (3sigma) of 2.5 x 10(-8) g/mL could be obtained. The method can be useful for the determination of N,N-dimethylaniline and phenol in some environmental samples.     

Photoinduced electron transfer between various coumarin analogues and N,N-dimethylaniline inside niosome, a nonionic innocuous polyethylene glycol-based surfactant assembly

Photoinduced electron transfer (ET) reactions between coumarin dyes and N,N-dimethylaniline have been investigated inside niosome, a nonionic innocuous polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based surfactant assembly using steady state and time-resolved fluorescence measurements. The location of coumarin dyes inside the bilayer headgroup region of niosome has been reported and it was verified by determination of the high distribution coefficient of all the dyes inside niosome compared to bulk water. Fluorescence anisotropy parameters of the dyes inside niosome are also in good correlation with the above inference about their location. Bimolecular diffusion guided rates inside niosome were determined by comparing the microviscosities inside niosome and in acetonitrile and butanol solutions and it was found that diffusion of the donor and the acceptor is much slower than the ET rates, implying insignificant role of reactant diffusion in ET reaction inside niosome. We have observed a Marcus inversion region in our restricted media, which shows maxima at lower exergonicity. Such behavior has been demonstrated by the presence of nonequilibrium solvent excited state using two dimensional ET (2DET) theory. Unusually high quenching rates of two coumarins C-152 and C-152A inside niosome were explained by the presence of a stable non-fluorescent twisted intramolecular charge transfer (TICT) state along with an emissive intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) state. Moreover, intermolecular hydrogen bonding between carbonyl oxygens of these two dyes and water in their non-emissive and emissive charge transfer states also plays a key role in their dynamical exchange with each other [G.-J. Zhao and K.-L. Han, Acc. Chem. Res., 2011].     

Excess enthalpies of binary solvent mixtures of 1-butanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol with aniline,N-methylaniline,and N,N-dimethylaniline

The excess molar enthalpies of binary solvent mixtures of 1-butanol and 2-methyl-2-propanol with aniline, N-methylaniline, and N,N-dimethylaniline were measured with a flow microcalorimeter at 40°C. The excess enthalpies are positive for all the systems, and smaller for the mixtures of 1-butanol than the corresponding mixtures of 2-methyl-2-propanol. With respect to the anilines, the values increase in the order aniline < N-methylaniline < N,N-dimethylaniline.
