Natural Sensitizer

The extract of Jambolão (java plum), Eugenia jambolana Lam, was used as a natural sensitizer of a wide band-gap semiconductor (TiO2) in photoelectrochemical solar cells. The natural dye, adsorbed onto the semiconductor surface, absorbs visible light and promotes electron transfer across the dye/semiconductor interface. Photogenerated current and voltage as high as 2.3 mA and 711 mV, respectively, were obtained and effective conversion of visible light into electricity was achieved. The use of a natural product as the semiconductor sensitizer enables a faster and simpler production of cheaper and environmentally friendly solar cells.

The development of thin-layer transparent solar cells based on dye sensitization of nanocrystallinen-typeTiO2undertaken at the Laboratory of Inorganic Photochemistry and Energy Conversion at the Chemistry Institute of Universidade de São Paulo is presented. Compounds of the formulacis-[(dcbH2)2RuLL],L,L′= substituted pyridines, as nanocrystallineTiO2,dcbH2=4,4′−(CO2H)2−2,2′-bipyridine andL,L′= substituted pyridines, have been successfully employed as molecular sensitizers in photoelectrochemical solar cells based on dye-sensitization ofn-TiO2. This regenerative solar cell consists of a TCO glass with a dye-sensitizedTiO2semiconductor film as a photoanode,I2/LiIsolution in acetonitrile as a redox mediator and a transparent Pt coated TCO glass as a counter electrode. Efficient conversion of visible light into electricity was achieved with IPCE (Incident Photon-to-Current Conversion Efficiency) as high as 50% between 400 and 550 nm.

AzaBenzannulated PDI (AzaBPDI) dyes were synthesized in high yields via a new reaction sequence involving an imine condensation followed by visible light-induced photocyclization. The large scope and efficiency of this alternative to the Pictet-Spengler reaction is demonstrated, and allows the easy preparation of dimeric AzaBPDI as potential non-fullerene acceptors for organic solar cells.
