An attempt to alleviate the problem caused by the presence of metal complex dyes, mostly used in textile industries, in the textile effluents was undertaken. The effects of adsorbent particle size, pH, adsorbent dose, ...

The cyclic voltammetry studies indicated that the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of three sensitized metallophthalocyanines could ensure efficient electron injection and thermodynamically favorable dye regeneration. The ...

Free standing SnO2/multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) nanocomposite anode materials were prepared for Li-ion batteries by sol-gel technique. Firstly, SnO2 precursor sols were synthesized after removing chloride ions. Then ...

Natural dyes extracted from fruit (FBV) and root (RBV) of barberry (Berberis vulgaris) and fruit (FPA) and stalk (SPA) of pokeweed (Phytolacca americana) were used as sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). All ...

We have designed and synthesized an unsymmetrical zinc phthalocyanine (PCA-ZnPc-1) bearing an electron-withdrawing pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid anchoring group and three electron-donating tert-butyl groups as a sensitizer ...

The temperature dependence of the optical band gap and refractive index dispersion of thin film of poly(ethylene terepthalate) oligomer-DDQ charge transfer complex has been investigated. The absorption edge shifts to the ...

Different metal (Fe, Ni, Co or Zn) doped TiO2 nanoparticles and dithizone-metal (Fe, Ni, Co or Zn)-gallic acid complexes were prepared and used in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The TiO2 and metal doped TiO2 nanoparticles ...

A new photosensitizer, PCA-ZnPc-2, was synthesized through the asymmetric functionalization of phthalocyanine ring with a pyrazole-3-carboxylic acid as the electron-withdrawing and anchoring group and six hexylsulfanyl as ...
