Abstract New dyes were developed and produced utilizing distinct electron donors (phenothiazine and dibenzofuran), a p-spacer, and an electron acceptor of cyanoacetohydrazide, and their structures were studied using FT-IR and NMR spectroscopy. Following the synthesis of dye molecules, the photophysical and photovoltaic characteristics were investigated using experimental and theoretical methods. The photosensitizers have been exposed to electrochemical and optical property experiments in order to study their absorption performance and also molecular orbital energies. The monochromatic optical conversion efficiency of (Z)-N-((5-(10H-phenothiazin-2-yl)furan-2-yl)methylene)-2-cyanoacetohydrazide (PFCH) found higher than that of (Z)-2-cyano-N'-((5-(dibenzo[b,d]furan-4-yl)furan-2-yl)methylene)acetohydrazide (BFCH), with IPCEs of 58 and 64% for BFCH and PFCH, respectively. According to the photosensitizer molecular energy level diagram, the studied dye molecules have strong thermodynamically advantageous ground and excited state oxidation potentials for electron injection into the conduction band of titanium oxide. It was observed that the ability to attract electrons correlated favorably with molecular orbital energy. While density functional theory calculations were used to examine molecule geometries, vertical electronic excitations, and frontier molecular orbitals, experimental and computed results were consistent. Natural bond orbital and nonlinear optical properties were also calculated and discussed.

Abstract In this work, the influence of technological parameters on the current-voltage characteristics of solar cells with porous silicon is investigated. It is shown that for photosensitive structures with a porous layer, the optimal mode is pore formation by electrochemical etching followed by diffusion. The effect of etching modes affects the character of the photosensitivity curve.

AbstractThe two-dimensional materials have the thickness of an atomic layer level and are expected as alternative materials for future electronics and optoelectronics due to their specific properties. Especially recently, transition metal monochalcogenides and dichalcogenides have attracted attention. Since these materials have a band gap unlike graphene and exhibit a semiconductor property even in a single layer, application to a new flexible optoelectronics is expected. In this study, the photovoltaic characteristics of a GaSe/MoSe2 heterojunction device using two-dimensional semiconductors, p-type GaSe and n-type MoSe2, were investigated. The heterojunction device was prepared by transferring GaSe and MoSe2 onto the substrate which the titanium electrodes were fabricated through a mechanical peeling method. The current–voltage characteristics of the GaSe/MoSe2 heterojunction device were measured in a dark condition and under light irradiation using a solar simulator. The irradiation light intensity was changed from 0.5 to 1.5 sun. It was found that when the illuminance was increased in this illuminance range, both the short-circuit current and the open-circuit voltage increased. The open-circuit voltage and the energy conversion efficiency were 0.41 V and 0.46% under 1.5 sun condition, respectively.

Abstract Population growth significantly expanding the boundaries of residential areas and living standards for humankind results in a tremendous increase in energy consumption. Unlike fossil fuels, which are found only in a few sites and non-renewable sources, solar energy is renewable and freely available in every part of the world. A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is a suitable electrochemical device to harness solar energy to produce power and is advantageous for its simplicity and inexpensive cost. Variations in photo-electrodes micro/nanostructure shape, doping, size, and crystal phase can improve the DSSCs performance by enhancing dye loading, improved light scattering ability, and/or faster electron transit and longer electron lifetime. The high yielding techniques for producing diverse morphologies for nanoparticles with appropriate band gaps might thus be considered another feasible strategy for improving cell performance. The impact of influencing parameters on photovoltaic characteristics of photo-anode for DSSC application is investigated in this review article. The descriptions are presented by compiling a list of relevant literature reports.

Plasma spraying and magnetron sputtering were used to form graphite–copper films on an n-type silicon surface. The main objective of this work was to compare the properties of the obtained graphite–copper Schottky photodiodes prepared using two different layer formation methods and to evaluate the influence of copper content on the surface morphology, phase structure, and photovoltaic characteristics of the graphite–copper films. Surface morphology analysis shows that the surface of the formed layers using either plasma spraying technology or the magnetron sputtering method consists of various sphere-shaped microstructures. The X-ray diffraction measurements demonstrated that the graphite–copper coatings formed by plasma spraying were crystalline phase. Meanwhile, the films deposited by magnetron sputtering were amorphous when the copper concentration was up to 9.7 at.%. The increase in copper content in the films led to the formation of Cu crystalline phase. Schottky diodes formed using magnetron sputtering technology had a maximum current density of 220 mA/cm2 at 5 V. Meanwhile, the maximum electric current density of Schottky photodiodes formed using plasma spraying reached 3.8 mA/cm2. It was demonstrated that the efficiency of Schottky diodes formed using magnetron sputtering was up to 60 times higher than Schottky diodes formed using plasma spraying.
