New mixed-substituent amino/carboxyphenylporphyrins for a dye-sensitized TiO 2 solar cell were prepared using several synthetic routes. The reaction of 4-carbomethoxy- and 4-acetamidobenzaldehydes with pyrrole in propionic acid under aerobic conditions afforded mixtures of mixed amide/ester substituted tetraphenylporphyrins which were separated using centrifugal chromatography then deprotected to give the target compounds. Condensation of p-nitrophenyldipyrromethane with 4-carbomethoxybenzaldehyde in CH 2 Cl 2 catalyzed by trifluoroacetic acid, followed by oxidation with dichlorodicyanoquinone gives trans-dicarbomethoxy/dinitrophenylporphyrin, which when treated with SnCl 2 and HCl affords the trans-diamino/dicarboxy derivative, trans- TA 2 C 2 PP . Commercially available tetrakis-5,10,15,20-(4-carboxyphenyl)porphyrin (TCPP) was converted to mixtures of mixed amino/carbomethoxyphenylporphyrins using hydroxylamine hydrochloride in polyphosphoric acid with methanol workup. Relative yields and product distributions from each route are discussed and the optoelectronic characteristics of the synthesized porphyrins were studied using UV-visible spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry.

Abstract Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a third-generation solar cell that has been developed as one of the clean and renewable alternative energies. This study aims to fabricate norbixin-sensitized solar cell (NSSC). Norbixin was obtained from the saponification followed by acidification of bixin and characterized using UV-Visible and FTIR spectroscopy. The solar cell was assembled using anatase-TiO2 semiconductor, KI/I2/MPII in acetonitrile as the electrolyte, and a platinum paste-based cathode. The UV-Visible spectrophotometry analysis results showed three peaks of carotenoid characteristics at 434, 457, and 486 nm. The formation of norbixin was proved by the absence of a spectral peak for the C-O-C ester group of bixin at 1254 dan 1159 cm-1” The cells performance test showed that the maximum energy conversion efficiency of NSSC increased with increasing light intensity up to 0.08 W/cm2. Exposure to the light above this intensity causes a decrease in the maximum energy conversion efficiency due to the temperature factor. The data also showed that the cell assembled was reusable. It still showed relatively good performance until the third day of analysis.

This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of NiMgOH-rGO nanocomposites made using a chemical co-precipitation technique with various reducing agents (e.g., NaOH and NH4OH) and reduced graphene oxide at 0.5, 1, and 1.5 percent by weight. UV-visible spectroscopy, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, a particle size analyzer, and cyclic voltammetry were used to characterize the composite materials. The formation of the NiMgOH-rGO nanocomposite with crystallite sizes in the range of 10–40 nm was inferred by X-ray diffraction patterns of materials, which suggested interlayers of Ni(OH)2 and Mg(OH)2. The interactions between the molecules were detected using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, while optical properties were studied using UV-visible spectroscopy. A uniform average particle size distribution in the range of 1–100 nm was confirmed by the particle size analyzer. Using cyclic voltammetry and galvanostatic charge/discharge measurements in a 6 M KOH solution, the electrochemical execution of NiMgOH-rGO nanocomposites was investigated. At a 1 A/g current density, the NiMgOH-rGO nanocomposites prepared with NH4OH as a reducing agent had a higher specific capacitance of 1977 F/g. The electrochemical studies confirmed that combining rGO with NiMgOH increased conductivity.

Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian awal untuk mempelajari dan memahami proses pembuatan sel surya berbasis Dye Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC) menggunakan Ruthenium (N719). Lapisan fotoelektroda TiO2 menggunakan pasta TiO2 ukuran 21 nm yang dideposisi menggunakan teknik spin coating dan pewarna N719 sebagai dye sensitizer. Counter elektroda Platina dideposisi menggunakan teknik sputtering. Parameter proses yang mempengaruhi karakteristik listrik sel surya dianalisa dan diukur. Karakteristik kurva I-V sel surya diukur menggunakan Kethely dengan variasi intensitas yaitu 100 Watt/m2, 250 Watt/m2, 500 Watt/m2, 750 Watt/m2 dan 1000 Watt/m2.Prototipe sel yang terbaik menghasilkan effisiensi sebesar 0,15%.Uji absorbansi menggunakan Spectrophotometer UV Visible 1601 PC dan uji sifat kelistrikan menggunakan Elkahfi 100/Meter I-V. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pewarna organik sintesis ruthenium (N719) memiliki absorbansi yang kuat pada panjang gelombang 400-550 nm ini menjadikan dye ruthenium (N719) perlu untuk di selidiki sebagai bahan fotosensitizer DSSC.

Ten meso-tetraphenylporphyrin-type heterodimers containing a partly or completely β-brominated subunit were synthesized and characterized by UV-visible spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry and spectroelectrochemistry, showing the presence of low electronic interactions between the two subunits. The investigated compounds are represented as M [( tripp - tpp ( Br 4)] M and M [ tripp - tpp ( Br 8)] M ( M = 2 H , Zn , Ni , Co and Cu ) where tripp - tpp ( Br 4) is the tetraanion of 1-[5-(10,15,20-triphenylporphyrinyl)]-4-[10-(2,3,12,13-tetrabromoporphyrinyl)]-benzene and tripp - tpp ( Br 8) is the tetraanion of 1-[5-(10,15,20-triphenylporphyrinyl)]-4-[10-(2,3,7,8,12,13,17,18-octabromoporphyrinyl)]-benzene. One of the synthesized dimers, H 2[ tripp - tpp ( Br 8)] H 2, was characterized by a single-crystal X-ray investigation.

Seven di-substituted N-confused porphyrins (NCPs) 9–15 bearing two aryl functional groups (cis-A2B2 type) were synthesized in 4–7 % yields via [3+1] approach. The corresponding five 5,10-diaryl-substituted symmetrical tripyrranes 1–5 were prepared and condensed with 2,4-bis(hydroxypentaflurophenyl)pyrrole 6. Two outer N-methyl type A2B2 NCPs 14 and 15 were also prepared via a similar approach using a new key precursor 8. All the porphyrins 9–15 were characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry, NMR, infrared spectroscopy, UV–visible spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, and cyclic voltammetry. Fluorescence studies of 9–15 showed blue-shifted emission maxima and lower Stokes shifts values when compared with N-confused tetraphenylporphyrin (NCTPP). Electrochemical studies indicated easier oxidation of N-methyl NCPs 14 and 15 when compared with remaining NCPs 9–13.
