Metal-free organic dyes with benzothiadiazole as an internal acceptor for dye-sensitized solar cells

We synthesized three metal-free organic dyes (H11–H13) consisting of a 3,6-disubstituted carbazole, benzothiadiazole, and cyanoacrylic acid. All the dyes exhibited high molar extinction coefficients and suitable energy levels for electron transfer from the electrolyte to the TiO₂ nanoparticles. Under standard AM 1.5G solar irradiation, the device using dye H13 with co-adsorbed chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA) displayed the best performance: an open-circuit voltage (V_oc) of 0.71 V, a short-circuit current density (J_sc) of 12.69 mA cm⁻², a fill factor (FF) of 0.71, and a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.32%. The PCE was ∼79% of that for commercially available N719 cells (8.02%) under the same conditions.     

Starch-modified filters used for the removal of dyes from waste water

The present article proposes the use of starch-enriched flour as low-cost adsorbent of dyes. The adsorbents have been prepared by reticulation of starch-enriched flour using epichlorohydrin as crosslinking agent. These starch-modified filters exhibit interesting properties in terms of sorption rate. Studies concerning the sorption capacity are presented. The influence of the amine groups and the chemical structure of dyes are also studied. The regeneration procedure of the filters is showed and discussed. In order to explain the results, an adsorption mechanism mainly based on physical adsorption and interactions such as hydrogen bonds and ion-exchange due to the nature of the polymer network is proposed.     

A new fast swelling poly[DAPB-co-DMAAm-co-AASS] superabsorbent hydrogel for removal of anionic dyes from water

The objective of this research is to utilize a new poly[N,N-diallyl pyrrolidinium bromide-co-N,Ndimethyl acrylamide-co-acrylic acid sodium salt]superabsorbent hydrogel（SAH）for the removal of two anionic dyes,e.g.,Reactive Red 5B（RR5B）and Reactive Orange M2R（ROM2R）,from water.The SAH was characterized by swelling in water,FTIR,TGA and SEM.The SAH DDA6showed good swelling property and thermal stability.We have also investigated the parameters affecting dye adsorption such as pH,adsorbent dose,adsorption rate and initial dye concentration.The experimental data were also analyzed by applying the well known Langmuir and Freundlich isotherm models.     

Hollow porous organic polymer: High‐performance adsorption for organic dye in aqueous solution

Several hollow porous organic polymers were conveniently fabricated by poly‐condensation of tetraphenyl porphyrin (TPP), tetrabiphenyl porphyrin (TBPP), or triphenylbenzene (TPB), with nano‐sized ZnO particles as template and AlCl₃ as catalyst. The hollow polymers exhibit much enhanced adsorption capacity for organic dyes in aqueous solution relative to the pristine polymers. Particularly, the hollow polymer based on TBPP (h‐COP‐P) displays high adsorption capacity (460 mg/g within 500 min) as well as good recycling performance toward Rhodamine B. This capacity is about three times larger than that of corresponding pristine POPs (COP‐P) and is even comparable with the best performed organic polymers reports to date, which is ascribed to its unique hydrophobic hollow structure. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Investigation on electrochemical analysis of ZnO nanoparticles and its performance for dye-sensitized solar cells using various natural dyes

The dye-sensitized solar cells were fabricated using five different dyes extracted from the Ixora flower, Pongame leaves, Neem leaves, Pongame leaves, and Almond fruit. ZnO nanoparticle has been prepared via the solvothermal method. The prepared samples were characterized by structural properties of XRD, FE-SEM EDAX, and HR-TEM, Optical properties of UV–Visible and FTIR studies, and Conductivity studies of EIS spectra. The effect of natural dye extract from chlorophyll and anthocyanin pigment group was investigated for the performance of J-V characterization. The efficiency of almond extract of solar cells is found to be better than that of the other four solar cells.     

Molecular design of novel indacenodithiophene-based organic dyes for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells applications

Indacenodithiophene (IDT)-based high-efficiency photovoltaics have received increasing attention recently. This paper reports a density functional theory investigation of the electronic and optical properties of three IDT-based organic dyes together with the dye/(TiO₂)₄₆ interface. In order to enhance the photoelectric properties of IDT dyes, this paper considers two methods for the structure modification of the experimentally reported dye DPInDT (J. Org. Chem. 2011, 76, 8977): the extension of the conjugation length by dithienothiophene as well as the heteroatom substitution of the bridging atoms by electron-rich nitrogen atoms. Our calculations show that both methods obviously affect the distributions of the molecular orbitals and notably red shift the absorption peaks of around 20 nm, with the former method demonstrating enhanced light harvesting efficiency. The structure modifications proposed also enhance the emission spectrum properties for IDT-based organic dyes. The calculated ultrafast injection time of electrons from the excited state of IDT dyes to the (TiO₂)₄₆ belongs to the femtosecond order of magnitude, and is ideal for efficient photoelectric conversion process in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) applications. The IDT dyes designed in this paper have good electronic and spectroscopic properties. This study is expected to provide useful guidance for the development of novel IDT dyes for applications in DSSCs.
