Modeling dye-sensitized solar cells with graphene based on nanocomposites in the Brillouin zone and density functional theory

Photoelectrochemistry and Drift–Diffusion Simulations in a Polythiophene Film Interfaced with an Electrolyte

“…The mathematical model is based on the drift–diffusion equations . Successful examples of similar approaches can be found in the study of dye-sensitized solar cells, − where indeed a solid–liquid interface is at the core of the device. Whether electrochemical studies are usually performed to characterize the response of the system to certain voltage/current application or to certain electrolytic environment, our goal is instead to obtain a quantitative description of the fundamental mechanisms related to the photoactivation of P3HT.…”

Electrochemiluminescence detection of Escherichia coli O157:H7 based on mesoporous Ca-doped MgAl2O3–G–SiO2 biosensor

“…The D band is an indication of disorder, which may emerge from specific defects such as vacancies, grain boundaries, and amorphous carbon species. 20 The intensity ratio of these two bands reflects the quality of the product. Thus, an increase in the defect sites in GO may prevent the agglomeration of the nanoparticles as well as enhance the strong interaction between CMA nanocomposites and GO sheets in CMAGS quaternary nanocomposites.…”

First‐Principles Electronic Structure Calculations on Modified Graphene Sheets for Solar Cell Applications: A Review

“…In 2021, Oh and Areerob decided to take their research to the next level by introducing a novel structural model of the DSSC device to explore the potential of graphene in improving solar cell performance [48] . Extensive research on their structural models of DSSC devices with graphene/titanium dioxide anodes, PAA‐PEG/graphene gel electrolytes, and graphene CE.…”

“…Overall, the real power of graphene lies not entirely in its inherent properties, but in its ability to improve the performance of individual components in existing solar cells. By acting as an electron acceptor and intermediate layer in tandem solar cells, graphene has been shown to significantly improve overall power conversion efficiency [48] . Moreover, based on the properties of graphene and graphene‐based materials a completely new light‐harvesting material can be developed to improve and tune the structure of its π‐electron variants, donor‐acceptor and conformation, and the future of solar cells is thus very bright.…”
