“…Dye-Sensitized-Solar-Cell (DSSC) is a promising approach in modern solar cell technology [ 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 ]. The efficiency of Ru complexes is around 10% and additionally the price of this noble metal is quite high; therefore, there is still need for better photosensitizers.…”

Composite materials very often provide new catalytic, optical or other physicochemical properties not observed for each component separately. Photofunctions in hybrid systems are an interesting topic of great importance for industry. This review presents the recent advances, trends and possible applications of photofunctions of hybrid systems composed of Schiff base metal complexes and metal or semiconductor (nano)materials. We focus on photocatalysis, sensitization in solar cells (DSSC—dye sensitized solar cell), ligand-induced chirality and applications in environmental protection for Cr(VI) to Cr(III) reduction, in cosmetology as sunscreens, in real-time visualization of cellular processes, in bio-labeling, and in light activated prodrug applications.

Objectives: To create a DSSC circuit, combine 5-Nitro Salicylaldehyde with Aniline (5NSA). Methods: Working and counter electrodes are made of TiO 2 and activated carbon film. Digital multimeters are used to test the conductive side of FTO glass prior to deposition. Graphite is used as the counter electrode. A functioning electrode was developed on conductive glass. FTO glass plate edges with Scotch tape (on the conductive side as determined by a multimeter). Distribute three drops of TiO 2 blade-coated electrodes equally using a glass stirring stick. 5-nitrosalicylaldehyde and aniline dye are applied to the working electrode. I-/KI are electrolytes. An electrolyte is KI solution. I-V and P-V properties were examined in direct sunshine and a solar simulator. Findings : Using a digital multimeter and a solar simulator with glass plates, analyzed the efficiency of DSSC in Mayiladuthurai (L1), Nagapattinam (L2), and Vedaranyam (L3). The DSSC constructed with 5-Nitro salicylaldehyde and an aniline circuit is obtained direct sunlight from a combination of 5NSA (L1-2.95 % ;L2-2.3 % ;L3-4.4 %) with an open circuit voltage (Voc) of (L1-26 mV;L2-38mV ;L3-39mV) and a short circuit current density (Isc) of (L1-80 mA;L2-60 (L1-1.42 % ; L2-.1.01 % ; L3-1.9 % ). Different glasses determine the lowest and maximum light locations of the solar simulator. 5NSA discovered 5.8mV from frosted glass in lamp position 5 and a fill factor of 8% from plain glass in lamp position 5(0.92%). Novelty: 5NSA pigments with optimized agents exhibited improved photovoltaic properties, absorbed more sunlight, and utilized photon energy more effectively.

“…In recent years, metal and metal compound electrodes have been extensively studied in DSSC. However, due to their opacity, most of them are limited to the use of a single metal electrode [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Electrode cost is a problem in the research of photoanodes and counter electrodes (CE) [7,8].…”

Traditional dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) use FTO/ITO containing expensive rare elements as electrodes, which are difficult to meet the requirements of flexibility. A new type of flexible DSSC structure with all-metal electrodes without rare elements is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a light-receiving layer was prepared outside the metal photoanode with small holes to realize the continuous oxidation-reduction reaction in the electrolyte; Secondly, the processing technology of the porous titanium dioxide (TiO2) film was analyzed. By testing the J–V characteristics, it was found that the performance is better when the heating rate is slow. Finally, the effects of different electrode material combinations were compared through experiments. Our results imply that in the case of all stainless-steel electrodes, the open-circuit voltage can reach 0.73 V, and in the case of a titanium photoanode, the photoelectric conversion efficiency can reach 3.86%.
