“…Silicon solar cells have been extensively applied, occupying a large portion of the solar cell market and becoming an important tool for converting solar energy into electricity during daily life. 1–3 Although mature technology and high photovoltaic conversion efficiency have been achieved, silicon solar cells are still suffering from some inherent drawbacks like the technical difficulty and environmental pollution associated with the production of super-pure silicon. 4 As a result, researchers have been developing new cost effective and environment friendly solar cells in recent decades.…”

This chapter introduced a new series of organic compound additives like thiophene 2,5-dicarboxylic acid (TDA), sulfanilamide (SAA), 2,6-diamino pyridine (DAP), dibenzo-18-crown-6 (DBC) and 2,6-pyridine dicarboxylic acid (PDA) with gelatin/KI/I2 consist gel polymer electrolytes for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) application. Nowadays, it is focusing on biopolymers for preparing gel electrolytes for DSSCs application which is a conventional renewable energy source. Biopolymers are abundant in nature, and they are non-toxic, thermally stable, environmentally friendly, low-cost, and have good mechanical and physical properties. The introduced novel gelatin (GLN) biopolymer-based gel electrolytes play a role in improving ionic conductivity and stability, and it also play a better ability for ionic mobility. The low-cost and commercialized organic additive molecules with electron donors like S, O and N elements were strongly coordinated on the surface TiO2 and fermi level shift into negative potentials. The organic additive compound SAA achieved a very active additive and easily reduced the recombination reaction between the surface of TiO2 and I3− ions. This phenomenon readily improves the stability and overall η of the DSSC. During the DSSCs process, intrinsic charge carrier transfer between both electrodes as well as the continuous regeneration of the dye molecules. The surface study and conductivity of prepared gelatin-based gel electrolyte with N, S and O-based additives were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), UV-visible, X ray diifraction (XRD), Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (EIS) and dye-sensitized solar cells (DSC), respectively. Furthermore, to examine the adsorption behaviour of organic additives on TiO2 (101) surface and negative fermi level shift on TiO2 surface were analysed by density functional theory (DFT) theoretical study.

“…In recent years, solar-to-electricity converters such as organic solar cells have gained significant interest, not only theoretically but also in practice [1,2]. Using organic materials instead of traditional inorganic ones offers many advantages, such as ease of device manufacture, low cost, universal molecular design, and ease of control over the physical properties of materials [3,4].…”

Donor–π spacer–acceptor (D–π–A) dyes are among the most attractive structures for the design of organic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Typically, the key intermediates for these sensitizers are D–π compounds containing an aldehyde group to which an anchor acceptor group is attached via the Knoevenagel reaction. In this communication, 5-(9-(p-tolyl)-2,3,4,4a,9,9a-hexahydro-1H-1,4-methanocarbazol-6-yl)thiophene-2-carbaldehyde was prepared via the Suzuki cross-coupling reaction. The structure of the newly synthesized compound was established by means of high-resolution mass spectrometry, 1H NMR, 13C NMR, IR, and UV–Vis spectroscopy. The title compound would be used in the synthesis of sensitizers for DSSCs.
