Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) have received much attention as an alternative to silicon-based solar cells, due to various advantages. Zinc oxide (ZnO) is an n-type semiconductor employed as photoa
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are an attractive renewable energy technology currently under intense investigation. In recent years, one area of major interest has been the exploration of alternati
Ru(II) complexes with 5-(3-thienyl)-4,6-dipyrrin (3-TDP), containing 2,2′-bipyridine (bpy) or 4,4′-bis(methoxycarbonyl)-2,2′-bipyridine (dcmb) as coligands, have been prepared and extensively charac
