Hypothesis
Can soluble TiOPc derivatives improve the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells?
Conclusion
The synthesized TiOPc derivatives showed improved solubility and enhanced photovoltaic performance in dye-sensitized solar cells.
Supporting Evidence
- The TiOPc derivatives exhibited short-circuit current densities of 8.49~10.04 mA/cm2.
- The power conversion efficiencies of the DSSC devices using the TiOPc derivatives ranged from 2.73% to 3.62%.
- The synthesized TiOPc derivatives showed high solubility in organic solvents like chloroform and chlorobenzene.
Takeaway
The researchers made new materials that help solar cells work better by being easier to mix with other ingredients.
Methodology
The study involved synthesizing TiOPc derivatives, characterizing their structures and properties, and testing their performance in dye-sensitized solar cells.
