Internal electric fields in vacuum-evaporated films as studied by electroabsorption spectroscopy
PublicationMierzono sygnały elektroabsorpcji na I-szej harmonicznej częstości przykładanego sinusoidalnego pola elektrycznego w komórkach sandwiczowych Al/warstwa organiczna/Al. Wyznaczono elektryczne pola wewnętrzne (Fi) dla materiałów stosowanych w organicznych diodach elektroluminescencyjnych (TPD, TAPC, MTDATA, QAC, Alq3, Ir(ppy)3, PtOEP). Mechanizm powstawania pól Fi powiązano z pułapkowaniem ładunku w obszarach przyelektrodowych.

Electronic States of Tris(bipyridine) Ruthenium(II) Complexes in Neat Solid Films Investigated by Electroabsorption Spectroscopy
PublicationWe present the electric field-induced absorption (electroabsorption, EA) spectra of the solid neat films of tris(bipyridine) Ru(II) complexes, which were recently functionalized in our group as photosensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells, and we compare them with the results obtained for an archetypal [Ru(bpy)3]2+ ion (RBY). We argue that it is difficult to establish a unique set of molecular parameter values by discrete parametrization...

The importance of anchoring ligands of binuclear sensitizers on electron transfer processes and photovoltaic action in dye-sensitized solar cells
PublicationThe relatively low photon-to-current conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells is their major drawback limiting widespread application. Light harvesting, followed by a series of electron transfer processes, is the critical step in photocurrent generation. An in-depth understanding and fine optimization of those processes are crucial to enhance cell performance. In this work, we synthesize two new bi-ruthenium sensitizers...
