ABSTRACTA novel approach to synthesize highly luminescent graphene quantum dots (GQDs) with well-defined sizes was explored based on simple oxidation of herringbone-type carbon nanofibers (HCNFs) and size-selective precipitation. In addition, the upconversion properties of GQD were investigated by applying GQD in working electrode of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).

A series of novel double-anchoring dyes for phenoxazine-based organic dyes with two 2-cyanoacetic acid acceptors/anchors, and the inclusion of a 2-ethylhexyl chain at the nitrogen atom of the phenoxazine that is connected with furan, thiophene, and 3-hexylthiophene as a linker, are used as sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells. The double-anchoring dye exhibits strong electronic coupling with TiO2, provided that there is an efficient charge injection rate. The result showed that the power conversion efficiency of DP-2 with thiophene linker-based cell reached 3.80% higher than that of DP-1 with furan linker (η = 1.53%) under standard illumination. The photovoltaic properties are further tuned by co-adsorption strategy, which improved power conversion efficiencies slightly. Further molecular theoretical computation and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis of the dyes provide further insight into the molecular geometry and the impact of the different π-conjugated spacers on the photophysical and photovoltaic performance.

Core–shell nanotubes were synthesized by in situ deposition of TiO2 on non-covalently functionalized CNTs. TiO2 photoanodes decorated with TiO2@CNT showed an increase of 37% in the device's power conversion efficiency.
