Full textIntroduction: Micro-leakage and enamel demineralization is still a major challenge in dental practice. It can lead to formation of demineralization lesions around and beneath the adhesive–enamel interface (Mali et al., 2006). Enamel demineralization adjacent to orthodontic brackets is one of the risks associated with orthodontic treatment. The prevention of demineralization during orthodontic treatment is therefore essential for aesthetic reasons and to circumvent the onset of caries. Aim: To assess micro-leakage and enamel demineralization around orthodontic direct attachments (brackets) using three different orthodontic cements. Materials and methods: In this in-vitro study, intact (non carious) extracted human premolars were used to compare the micro-leakage and enamel demineralization of three different cements (Fuji Ortho LC, Rely X luting 2 and Transbond XT). The dye penetration technique was used to evaluate micro-leakage on extracted human premolars. Micro-hardness testing was performed on 21 teeth to determine enamel demineralization. Sixty teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of twenty teeth each. Direct attachments were cemented on each tooth using 3 different cements; Fuji Ortho LC (GC Fuji II LC GC Corporation Tokyo, Japan), (group 1), Rely X luting 2 cement (3M ESPE dental product, USA), (group 2), Transbond XT Light Cure (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif), (group 3). After the orthodontic direct attachments were fitted, they were exposed to 500 thermo-cycles between 5°C and 55°C, with a dwell time of 15 seconds in a buffered (pH 7) 1% methylene blue dye solution (Grobler et al, 2007). The specimens were viewed under a stereomicroscope (Nikon, Japan) at magnification of 40 times. Photographs of each specimen were taken with a Leica camera (Leica DFC 290 micro-systems, Germany) fitted onto a stereomicroscope. The ACDsee photo editing programme was used to transfer the photographs to a computer to measure the dye penetration along the enamel–adhesive and adhesive–bracket interfaces, both on the gingival and occlusal edge at × 40 magnification. For the demineralization sample, 21 teeth were divided into 3 groups of seven teeth each, where direct attachments were cemented using each of the 3 cements, group 1, Fuji Ortho LC (GC Fuji II LC GC Corporation Tokyo, Japan); group 2, Rely X luting 2 cement (3M ESPE dental product, USA) and group 3, Transbond XT Light Cure (3M Unitek, Monrovia, Calif). A digital hardness tester with Vickers diamond indenter (Zwick RoellIndentec (ZHV; Indentec UK) was used to measure surface micro-hardness of enamel before and after attaching the brackets. Ten indentations were made on the enamel surface of each tooth before bonding the brackets with a 300g load applied for 15 seconds to establish the baseline hardness value. After de-bonding the brackets, the hardness was measured again in the same area as mentioned above to determine the degree of enamel demineralization (softening). Result: The result showed statistically significantly lower levels of micro-leakage for Transbond XT (P= <0.001). The amount of micro-leakage on the margins was significantly higher in the gingival portion (P <0.05) as compared with the occlusal margin. Enamel micro-hardness tests before bonding using the three different cements showed that the variances are not significantly different (Chi-squared = 3.051, df = 2, p-value = 0.218). However, the micro-hardness tests done after bonding and thermo-cycling was statistically significantly different (Chi-squared = 13.435, df = 2, p-value = 0.001). Clearly, the Transbond XT group had less hardness, implying greater demineralization than the Fuji Ortho LC and Rely X luting 2 groups. Two sample t-tests show that mean value for the Fuji Ortho and Rely X luting 2 were not significantly different from each other (t = -0.636, df = 12, p-value = 0.537). The mean value for Transbond XT differed significantly from both the other two means: Transbond XT vs Fuji Ortho LC (t = 3.249, df = 6.9, p-value = 0.014). Transbond XT vs Rely X luting 2 (t = 3.493, df = 6.8, p-value = 0.011). Conclusions: This study showed that Fuji Ortho LC and Rely X luting 2 show more micro-leakage than Transbond XT. However Transbond XT had significant lower micro-leakage, less hardness (greater demineralization) than the Fuji Ortho LC and Rely X luting 2. This may have been due to the fluoride release which significantly reduces demineralization. Therefore the Fuji Ortho LC and Rely X luting 2 may be recommended for prevention of demineralization during orthodontic treatment.

The main purpose of this research is to study co-sensitization in the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) . For DSSC, photon-to-electron conversion efficiency is depending on the dye absorption spectrum and the shifting rate of electron from dye to electrode. The absorption UV-vis spectrum of dyes in DSSC is generally in 400nm-600nm region ,but it is weak beyond 600nm.Therefore ,in this study we blend dyes in order to extend the range of light absorption and improve the efficiency of DSSC further. The common phthalcyano ruthenium complex, bis(4-carboxypyridine) -(phthalocyanainato) ruthenium(II) in near IR region are chosen to fabricate co-sensitized DSSC .ruthenuim complex, N719 (cis-di(thiocyanato)-bis(2,2''-bipyridyl -4,4''-dicarboxylic acid)-ruthenium(II)) in blue light region, and We want to extend light absorption and improve efficientcy by this process. The results reveal that the energy band of N719 and bis(4-carboxypyridine) -(phthalocyanainato) ruthenium(II) can macth well.So the efficiency of DSSCs is enhancing near 10%.

In this study, the proposed dye-sensitized solar cells use two different types of dyes as the sensitizers of the cells. This co-sensitization can improve the ability of light capture and the conversion efficiency of the cell because each dye has its own absorption spectrum which can be arranged complementary to the other dye. In fact, the co-sensitization technique makes a broader absorption of solar energy to improve the performance of the cell. In this study, N719 and SQ2 are used as the sensitizers of the proposed dye-sensitized solar cells. An ultrasonic treatment is employed during the immersion of the titanium dioxide layer into the dye solution to dramatically reduce the process time, from typically 8-24 hours of immersion down to about 20 minutes. A cocktail approach and a stepwise approach are used to evaluate the performance of the resultant cells. The cocktail approach is studied to understand how the mixture of N719 and SQ2 dyes in different volume ratios affects the conversion efficiencies of the cells. The optimal conversion efficiency of 4.65% is found for the cell sensitized with the co-sensitizer (N719+SQ2) at the volume ratio of 6:4, which is higher than that of 3.7% for the cell sensitized with N719 dye and that of 0.92% for the cell sensitized with SQ2 dye. The stepwise approach is studied to understand how the dyeing of N719 and SQ2 in the time sequence on the titanium dioxide layer affects the conversion efficiencies of the cells. The optimization of the time interval for dyeing N719 and SQ2 sequentially on the titanium dioxide layer and the period of time for ultrasonic treatment is included in this study. In the case of dyeing N719 and then SQ2, each under ultrasonic treatment for 10 minutes, the results show that the optimal conversion efficiency of the cell is 2.91%. On the other hand, in the case of dyeing SQ2 and then N719, the conversion efficiency is lower, which is 2.55%. However, when the titanium dioxide film is sequentially immersed in N719 solution for 20 minutes and SQ2 solution for 5 minutes with ultrasonic treatment, the optimal conversion efficiency of the cell is up to 4.32%

In the present work, the interactions between N3, N719,and black dye sensitizers with nanocrystalline TiO2 film was investigared by DRIFTs-FTIR spectroscopy. Experimental results show that N3 and N719 dyes were anchored onto the TiO2 surface by bidentate or bridging mode using two carboxylic acid groups and one carboxylic acid group, respectively. Instead, black dye uses one carboxylate group through bidentate or bridging mode. Different active areas of working electrode (1, 0.49, 0.25cm2) were immersed into the dye solution and the efficiency of solar cell is 6.21% with the active area of 0.25 cm2. In dye co-sensitization experiment, TiO2 electrodes were mixed with N3, N719, and black dye in various proportions, results demonstrated that multiple adsorption of dyes on TiO2 surface in different extent. In-situ Raman scanning technique were implemented under real photocurrent conditions. Valuable information on the dye intramolecular interactions in the excited state as well as the interactions between dye-semiconductor electrodes were obtained. This information were interpreted to correlate the degradation mechanisms between their operation of conditions and their corresponded material properties.

The metal-free organic dyes: coumarin 343(C343), Eosin Y(EoY), fluorescein(F), fluorescein isothiocyanate(FNCS) and Rhodamine B (Rho B) are used to sensitize nanocrystalline porous TiO2 films and applied for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). J-V curve measurements show the DSSC based on Eosin Y receives the best photoelectric conversion efficiency with 0.473%. The dyes loading of the photoelectrodes were measured by dye-desorption experiments and indicates that the C343 dye has best adsorption ability and TiO2 photoelectrode get a highest loading of 15.8×10-8 mol/cm2. We use six binary systems (C343/EoY, C343/F, C343/FNCS, EoY/C343, EoY/F and EoY/FNCS) employed as sensitizers to study cosensitization in the DSSCs. By analysis of J-V curve, IPCE and EIS measurements, the results exhibit that the EoY/F binary system has the best performance on extension of the absorption range of the nanocrystalline photovoltaic cell, reduction of the electron recombination at the photoelectrode/electrolyte interface, and increase of the photoelectric conversion efficiency.

Abstract These problems: the great amount of the dye wastewater, high quantity contained of organic waste, deep color and the changes of water quality, have almost become the difficulties of depositing the industrial wastewater. Recent years, because of the development of the chemical spin and weave fiber objects, and the progress of the Neo-treatment skill, the waste dyed water contains great amount of PVA, reactive dye.etc, which are hard to dissolve by using organic methods, especially the reactive dye. Therefore, it becomes the urgent issue that to find out the highly efficient, low consumption, cheap price of solution for industrial field and recycling groups. This research is assumed to use 7 kinds of quatrnary amines, to change the properties of montomorillonite as absorbent, in order to make absorbing research on the most difficult disposition reactive dye, which contains the discussion of the reactive time, reactive temperature, the changes of quantitative usage of organic Montomorillonite, pH value.etc to see the influence of the absorbent reaction, and to find out the conditions of the best method of disposition of the dye wastewater. By the analysis of the XRD diffraction, after the changes of properties, the peak of the (001) move to left obviously. Therefore, to put the quatrnary amines into montomorillonite made the bigger spaced at interval, which was also analyse to prove the facts by DTA and TGA. After a series of absorbent research, the results reveal that the organic montomorillonite can almost absorb 100%of the dye wastewater, which proves that the interval of montomorillonite became bigger after properties changed by quatrnary amines, and the effect ion of deposition of reactive dye turns out very well. Meanwhile, the possibility of recycling the organic montomorillonite was discussed to reach the condition of the lower capital with highly economic effection.

In this study, dye-sensitized solar cell with nano-TiO2 thin film electrode prepared by electrodeposition method on a flexible plastic substrate was fabricated, and investigated by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra, and current-voltage characteristics analyses. X-ray diffraction patterns show that the TiO2 anatase phase forms well as thin film deposited. From the results of SEM image, the surface of as-grown thin film is porous. While using a compress mechanism to condense a nano-TiO2 thin film, we can get a smooth surface of film. From the results of ultraviolet-visible absorption spectra and current-voltage characteristics analyses, the porous, smooth and condensed thin film will improve the absorption of dye and increase electrons transferred from dye to the conduction band of TiO2,resulting in the enhancement of efficiency for dye-sensitized solar cell.

In the thesis, we discuss the performance change of the DSSCs (Dye Sensitized Solar Cells) versus time. It is found that the open-circuit voltage (VOC) increases, short-circuit current (JSC) decreases, while fill factor (FF) increase with the storage time of the devices. We also test and analyze the working electrode, photosensitizer (N719 dye), electrolyte and counter electrode separately to find the cause of the performance change. According to the experimental results, we find the performance of DSSCs decays because of : (1) the oxidation of working electrode, (2) desorption and degradation of dye under illumination, (3) the loss of electrolyte, and (4) the solvent volatilization of electrolyte. The increase of VOC is contributed to the irreversible change of oxidation potential of the TiO2 working electrode. The decrease of JSC is caused by the degradation and desorption of dye molecules under illumination, which result in the decay of the absorption and is also irreversible. Furthermore, both the loss of electrolyte and the solvent volatilization of electrolyte result in the decrease of JSC. However, they can be recovered by re-injecting electrolyte and the solvent. Finally, optimize the performance of the DSSCs and suggest the manufacturing process so that the devices having higher stability and longer lifetime can be obtained.

The dissertation describes the author’s findings relating to the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) system during his PhD work. Six chapters including first two introductory reviews and later four experimental results are elaborated in this thesis. To give a clearer picture of this thesis, the main contents are summarized as follows: Chapter 1 introduces some general concepts of solar power and photovoltaic, including the magnitude of solar electricity potential and market, classification of solar cells and fundamentals of solar cell. Chapter 2 is a reviewing work which collects at least 86 listed references. After the author’s digestion, the contents of this chapter are classified into 2 main categories: the components of DSSC and the natures of DSSC. For better systemization, each topic is further splitted into several parts like substrates, anode materials and cathode materials…etc. Chapter 3 addresses on the significance of anode’s structure and the practical examinations from commercially available TiO2 nano-particles. By modifying or executing treatments on TiO2 films, the conversion efficiency of DSSC advances from 3.89% to 6.01% by employing commercial TiO2 nano-particles. The author also proposes future hints and directions for reaching highly efficient DSSC. Chapter 4 states a unique method to prepare catalytic cathode for DSSC. Based on the knowledge and findings developing for Pd-catalyst in printed-circuit board industry in author’s laboratory, he modifies that system and successfully applies it in DSSC field. The novel cathode, PVP-capped Pt nano-clusters are deposited on ITO glass via a simple 2-step dip-coating process. This materials exhibits fair good catalytic performance at relatively low Pt usage in comparison with sputtered Pt electrode. Data revealing in this chapter also suggests the PVP surrounding nano-Pt plays an important role on ion-diffusing property and catalytic performance. The most important contribution of this work is this method involves neither vacuum facilities nor high temperature environments; it can operate in ambient temperature for cheaply mass production. Chapter 5 introduces a novel cathode material for flexible DSSC. This is a internationally collaborative work with Prof. Miyasaka in Toin Yokohama University, Japan. We design and prepare a Pt/Ti bimetallic layer on PET film as an efficient counter electrode for flexible DSSC, the satisfying result exhibits not only highly catalytic performance on iodide/tri-iodide reaction but also low Pt usage by filling non-catalytic Ti under Pt-rich surface. Finally, a highly efficient flexible DSSC with 4.31% efficiency comprises TiO2 film on ITO-PEN and Pt/Ti counter electrode is fabricated. Chapter 6 illustrates the synthesis of a micro-porous polymer film with cross-linking structure system. After soaking in liquid electrolyte, the wet film can utilize as the electrolyte in DSSC. The benefit of this electrolyte system is it not only shows comparable ionic conductivity to that in pure liquid electrolyte but also exhibits high mechanical strength when compare to traditional gel electrolyte system. The author also point out the significance of film thickness in polymer electrolyte system.

This study quantitatively explored interactive characteristics of simultaneous bioelectricity generation and dye decolorization (SBG&DD) in air-cathode single-chamber microbial fuel cells (SC-MFCs) using indigenous Proteus hauseri ZMd44. After approx. 15 cycles (ca. 30 days) of acclimatization in dye-bearing cultures, P. hauseri could express its stable capability of simultaneous bioelectricity generation (the maximal output voltage and decay rate were 137.0±3.0 mV and 1.20±0.01 d-1, respectively) and color removal (93–94% decolorization) in MFCs. Moreover, during acclimatization in same cultures the maximal output voltage of strains Enterobacter cancerogenus BYm30 and Enterobacter cancerogenus BYm30 were 185.5±3.8 mV, 179.7±0.5 mV and the decay rate wastants were 1.48±0.31 d-1, 11.1±2.1 d-1, respectively. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) was used to determine electrochemical characteristics of microbial fuel cell (MFC) based on Klebsiella pneumoniae ZMd31, indicating that the solution resistances decreased from 30.8 Ω to 23.7 Ω. Evidently, appropriate acclimation strategy to generate the electrochemically active anodic biofilm played a crucial role to enhance the performance of SBG&DD in MFCs. Gradually increased supplementations of C.I. reactive blue 160 resulted in progressively decreased decay rates of bioelectricity generation. That is, a dye decolorized in a faster rate would result in a lower capability for bioelectricity generation and vice versa. In addition, a reduced dye with less toxicity potency (e.g., 2-aminophenol, 2AP) might work as a mediator for electron transfer to anodic biofilm for bioelectricity generation in MFCs. The ranking of isomeric aminophenols for electron mediators in MFCs could then be shown as 2AP > 3AP > 4AP.

Currently the dye sensitized solar cells have attracted more attention due to their low cost, transparency and flexibility. These types of solar cells use the dye molecule adsorbed on TiO2 semiconductor in Nano architecture with the role of absorbing photons, in recent research attempts are being made to shifts the absorption spectral of TiO2 to visible and near infrared–region of solar spectrum to achieve maximum photo absorption which yields to an increase in the efficiency of the dye sensitized solar cells. In the current study, density functional theory (DFT) was used to model two croconate dyes (CR1 and CR2), one with an electron donating methyl group (CR1) and the other with an electron –withdrawing caboxyl group (CR2). The geometric, electronic and optical properties of these dyes were compared. The adsorption behaviour of the two dyes on (010 and 100) anatase TiO2 surfaces were investigated in this study by employing first principle calculation based on DFT using a plane-wave pseudo potential method. The generalized gradient approximation (GGA) was used in the scheme of Perdew-Burke Ernzerhof to describe the exchange -correlation function as implemented in the CASTEP package in Material Studio of BIOVIA. The adsorption results shows a spontaneous electron injection followed by efficient regeneration of the oxidized dye molecules by the electrolyte and strong binding ability of CR2 to the TiO2 surface, but also shows a comparable binding strength of CR1. The results of this study will help in the design of high efficient dye for DSSCs.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to use whitening agents dye on whiten cellulose. In the meantime We controlled chitosan solution between PH3 and PH5 to coat on the fabric.We tested the fabric their whiteness、anti-microbial and to know the effect of the process、PH value. The results indicated that to process in once bathe couldn’t achieve high whiteness,cause to adopt twice process. While the chitosan’s concentration increase the anti-microbial properties would be increase,the fabric’whiteness would be decreased. Dissolve chitosan in low PH value would increase the electropositive of amide and the anti-microbial properties would increase. To wash the fabric after the anti-microbial properties would be reduce but the anti-microbial properties still to remain.

Alternative energy sources such as solar energy have attracted an extensive interest in the petroleum shortage era. Among solar cells, dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) attracts the attention of widespread research teams because of the easy-production process, low cost, and good photon-to-electron conversion efficiency. In this study, both UV and acid solution such as HCl are used to improve the efficiency of DSSC. The UV illumination can eliminate organic contaminates on TiO2 by photocatalysis and enhance the adsorption of dye molecules. Meanwhile, the coordination mode between TiO2 and dye could be changed and lower the electron transportation. If the HCl solution is used after UV illumination, the coordination mode can be preserved. Moreover, H+ from HCl can attract the COO- anchoring group of dye by electrostatic force. It further increases the adsorption of dye and improves the DSSC efficiency. The coordination mode was measured by Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR). The internal resistance was measured by electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). The chemical properties were characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The light absorbance was measured by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). The morphology was observed by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM). The performance of the cells was measured by a semiconductor device analyzer. In our results, the conversion efficiency was improved from 6.29% of untreated one to 6.71 and 7.39% for UV and UV + HCl treated ones.

This experiment demonstrates an inherent direction-tunable lasing effect in a dye-doped cholesteric liquid crystal (DDCLC) film. This novel lasing effect with continuous variation of wavelength of laser output was found and is blue-shifted as the detected polar angle increases. The photons propagating in different polar angle (θ) experience an effective pitch of P0.cos(θ) in one-dimensional cholesteric planar structure, where P0 is the original pitch of the CLCs in normal direction. In the reflection photonic band-edges, the photons experience a long dwelling time inside the periodic structure and its spontaneous and stimulated emission is strongly enhanced, generating the lasing effect. This direction-tunable lasing effect has not been observed before, we believe that this is because of the defect in the fabricated CLC cell. If the CLC cell is not perfect and includes many structural defects, the defect scattering of the normal lasing mode will significantly suppress the inherent direction-tunable lasing effect. Besides, the dependences of the polarization property and the pumping threshold energy of the laser output on the polar angle have also investigated.

Natural hair dye is the future trend in hair color market. In this study, we compared different extraction methods to explore the extraction yield of natural color from the lac. Another purpose was to find the better formula for color and mordant dyeing by matching colors experiment and mordant dyeing experiment, and for the colorfastness to washing. Besides assessing efficacy of nature hair dye, finally, we colored white hair and performed skin allergy evaluation. The experimental result revealed that the better extraction yield of lac was 0.25%with water by ultrasound-assisted extraction. We also found that ultrasonic degumming method had higher lac quantity percentage which was 3.401% ( the degumming solution is 95% ethanol, and then used ultrasound-assisted extraction method with solvent of water). In color formula examintaion, C4 formula had good presentation (lac 2.5%+Hematoxylin2.5%+Xanthan gum1.5%+pure water 93.5%). The better mordant dyeing formula was AM3(lac 2.5%+Hematoxylin 2.5%+Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 1%+Xanthan gum1.5%+pure water 92.5%). The better result of testing for colorfastness to washing was AM3 formula( lac 2.5%+Hematoxylin2.5%+Ferrous sulfate heptahydrate 1%+Xanthan gum1.5%+pure water 92.5%). AM3 formula also had great color permeability for hair. Meanwhile, C4 formula had better hair color in dyeing result(lac 2.5%+Hematoxylin 2.5%+Xanthan gum1.5%+pure water93.5%)for elderly white-hair, and the result was yellow. The better colorfast effect after three times washing for white hair was provided by C4 formula(lac2.5%+Hematoxylin2.5%+Xanthan gum1.5%+pure water 93.5%). In allergy testing, AM3 formula developed slight skin allergy reaction in 20% subjects. This formula needs further adjustment in order to meet the requirement of allergy. In contrast, C1 and C4 formulas revealed no skin allergy. Future work should encompass how to cover white hair with darker color successfully by nature hair dye.

In this study, we use electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis to confirm the corresponding reaction mechanisms to five resonance peaks in the Bode plots of dye-sensitized solar cells. In the future, if anyone want to improve the efficiency of dye sensitized solar cell, we can compare measurement results by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analysis before modification and after modification, following the same approach. By referencing this study, one can find out after the modification which component associated with certain mechanism will be affected by the modification, and to tell whether modification was successful. This provides a great help to our group in continuing the study of dye-sensitized solar cells in the future. From the analysis of Bode plots we found five resonance peaks A, B, C, D, and E, associated with five mechanisms, respectively. These five mechanisms were deduced from a rigorous process of elimination and differentiation from seven possible mechanisms that has passed a preliminary elimination process. The corresponding mechanisms are listed here. The first is the electron recombination at the interface between ITO and TiO2 (mechanism 1), responsible for A peak, where its response frequency is about 10-1 ~ 100 Hz. The second is the electron recombination on titanium dioxide surface with the electrolyte (mechanism 3), responsible of B peak, where its response frequency is about 100 ~ 102 Hz. The third is the charge redistribution above the interface between titanium dioxide and electrolyte solution when increase the applied voltage (mechanism 5), responsible for C peak, where its response frequency is about 101 ~ 103 Hz. The fourth is electron recombination at the interface betwwen electrolyte solution and the Pt counter-electrode (mechanism 7), responsible for D peak, where its response frequency is about 103 ~ 104 Hz. The fifth is electron recombination with holes in ground state level of dye in the dye molecule (mechanism 4), responsible for E peak, where its response frequency is about 104 ~ 105 Hz. In addition, the resonance peak associated with electron transport in TiO2 layer (mechanism 2) cannot be resolved in our measured Bode plots, because of the very small phase difference angle in our measured Bode plots. Similary, the resonance peak associated with ion transport in the electrolyte (mechanism 6), with response frequency about 10-1 ~ 100 Hz, vii cannot be resolved easily either, since it has also a very small phase difference angle that can only be observed under magnification. We identified some reaction mechanisms and their reaction rates that were yet reported in the literatures or clearly explained using Bode plots. In this study, we successfully, through different experiments using Bode plots and lots of discussions, found the corresponding reaction rate associated with three mechanisms. These mechanisms are the electron recombination in the interface between ITO and TiO2 (mechanism 1), the redistribution of charge above the interface between titanium dioxide and electrolyte solution (mechanism 5), and ion transport in the electrolyte solution (mechanism 6). The confirmation of the presence of the mechanism of the charge redistribution above the interface between titanium dioxide and electrolyte solution (mechanism 5) is our special contribution since the corresponding resonance peak was difficult to be seen in Bode plots measured only at VOC, as a common practice adopted in conventional studies. With the help of found formula in the literature, we confirmed the decease of peak phase difference angle is caused mainly by the decrease of equivalent impedance of the interface. We also learned that the voltage drop across the TiO2/electrolyte interface is most significant compared with those across other interfaces, in response to increase of the applied voltage, from the observation of the trend of phase difference angle change first increase then decrease with applied voltage of B peak, for the ever dye-immersed devices. From the capacitance vs. voltage diagram for dye-immersed devices, we can see capacitance for B peak increases steadly, unlike that of D peak, because the dielectric layer associated with capacitance of peak B is substantively present while that for peak D is not, which makes the capacitance associated with peak D eventually declined at high voltages. In addition, that the phase difference for C peak will be smaller as the of the applied voltage increases was observed. This trend let us know that the interface capacitance will also be smaller as the applied voltage increases, and charge stored at the interface between TiO2 and electrolyte solution will be varied with the increase of voltage. We further studied the voltage dependence of interface charge distribution at the TiO2/electrolyte solution interface by considering three factors that may affect the concentration of I - , I3 - at the interface and predicted that the concentration viii of I-, I3- at the interface is higher that that away from the interface at zero bias. Finally, we compared the Bode plots of devices with electrode without dye soaking and that with dye soaking, and found that the device without dye soaking has an earlier declination of capacitance of D peak with voltage as the film thickness increases. This is because that the devices without dye soaking produce larger current on the Pt counter electrode surface which cause the destruction of the electrical double layer on the surface.

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been considered as one of the most promising solar cell technologies for their low cost and high efficiency comparable to that of silicon solar cells. The aim of this study is developing efficient and stable DSSCs. We focus on the development of the following two key materials: 1. the organic dyes do not contain noble metals; 2.high specific surface area nanocrystalline TiO2 electrodes. We prepared the DSSCs consisting of mixed phthalocyanine and azo dyes instead of single dye system to utilize the broad spectrum of sunlight. The performances of DSSCs were discussed. The structure, optical and electric properties were characterized by using FT-IR ,UV-vis and CV analysis. Sol-Gel precipitation was applied to make TiO2 thin film electrode. The crystalline phase, grain size and surface morphology of titanium oxide were characterized by using XRD, BET and SEM to investigate the effects of processing parameters on the films characteristic and microstructure. The study also investigated the effect of variable thickness of TiO2 on the efficiency of DSSCs. The AC-impedance analysis of DSSCs show that the performance of DSSCs improved with increasing thickness of TiO2 until 13μm of thickness. At last, We analyzed the performance of DSSCs using IV-curve to get the efficiency of various DSSCs.

The optimal Solar Cells must meet the following requirement: (1).Higher efficiency. (2).Low costs. (3).Good reliability and stability. (4)More Application. According to above-mentioned four points, because the cost and application are limited to the material problem in the traditional PV Cell, it is unable to get good improvement. Observe Dye-sensitized Solar Cells, because of its congenital advantage, the production cost is low and the application is extensive too, only efficiency and stability has not got good improvement yet, so it is incomparable research and development in the future. The modified Shockley equation were used to correlated the diode characteristic of dye-sensitized solar cells. The series resistance, Rs and diode quality factor, n were derived from the intercept and slope of corresponding equation, respectively. The Rs and n can be regarded as two of the most important criteria in evaluating the cell performance. The results show that the no. of spin-coated layers is proportion to the thickness of TiO2 thin film. Besides, the open circuit voltage, Voc of the as-deposited DSSCs always kept constant(500~520mV) until the thickness of TiO2 film reached certain value(20mm) after which the Voc of the cells decreased apparently. The optimal thickness of TiO2 film (Ln) calculated form photoelectron diffusion model theoretically was 10mm which is in accordance those obtained experimentally from our studies(dye: TCPP). The Jsc of as-prepared DSSCs were first increased as the thickness of TiO2 film increased. This tendency is coincident with those of Rs calculated from the modified Shockley equation. From the calculated values, the Rs reaches its minimal of 123W for four layers TiO2 thin films with thickness of 13mm while the maximum Rs has value of 506W for the TiO2 thin films with thickness of 27.5mm during which the Jsc became vague. However, no matter what the thickness of TiO2 film is, the FF seems to be kept within 0.33~0.35. One of the main reasons for such low value of FF might come from the instability of sensitized used in ous system.

This study’s main focus is on dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) using PAN organic particles as the main body of the gelled electrolyte, and also using different combinations of solvents to measure its efficiency towards solar cell. This experiment used LiI and I2 as raw material to produce the electrolytes. and used different ratios of PC and EC as solvents to compare the results. The study selected Doctor-Blade(DB) method and Slit and Spin Coating methods to produce photo-anodes at different rotation speeds to show the effect that different thicknesses of film has and to measure its efficiency. For the dye, this research used chemical dye N719 and added electrolytes to it to enable it to redox, also as an application of electrolytes on dye-sensitive solar cell. Finally the cell was packed into a sandwich structure, and photoelectric conversion efficiency conversion efficiency tests were performed on the dye-sensitive solar cell. The result of the tests showed that when PAN is 20wt% and the combination of EC and PC at the ratio of 8:2 has the greatest photoelectric conversion efficiency conversion efficiency; the experiment used Spin Coating methods rotating at 500rpm to produce photo-electrode; also, by adding X100 into the photo-electrode of TiO2 pastes the experiment achieved the greatest photoelectric conversion efficiency of 3.58%.

This work aims to improve the conversion efficiency of dye- sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by introducing a new material, graphene, in to the DSSCs structure. Graphene is a potential material for many applications due to their high electron mobility, outstanding optical properties, and thermal, chemical, and mechanical stability. Therefore, this study changes several parameters, structures, and methods to optimize and compare with the traditional DSSCs . There are three major respects about with or without graphene, (1) the method of plating or sputtering, and the structure of (2) graphene/TiO2 and Graphene/ZnO Nanoparticles DSSCs (3) or TiO2/graphene/TiO2 in DSSCs solar cells. Finally, this research knows that the method of sputtering is much better than plating, the conversion efficiency of solar energy with graphene/TiO2 was increased from 1.62 % to 3.72 %, and the conversion efficiency with TiO2/graphene/TiO2 sandwich structure was increased from 1.38 % to 3.93 %. It means that the new material, graphene, works in enhancing the conversion efficiency of DSSCs .

Previous studies had proposed systematic structures for tandem luminescent solar concentrators (LSCs). However, as the use of two or more waveguide plates in combination with dyes is required, they are different from typical LSCs that put a single kind of dye over a single-layered waveguide. In order to simplify the tandem LSCs to be the single-layered configuration, this study proposed the color mixing from two of the three dyes in colors of red, orange, and green to make the mixing dyes of red-orange, orange-green, and red-green colors. They were then coated on the waveguide to form the dye-mixing LSCs for observing the effect of extending the spectral range of radiation. Besides, this study compared the waveguide strength between the single-layered dye-mixing LSCs and the double-layered single-dye LSCs. With the CCD spectrometer, the measurement results show that the dye characteristics of double-layered single-dye LSCs allow more extension of the spectral range of radiation. Furthermore, this study coated three dyes in colors of red, orange, and green to the waveguide plates with different thicknesses of the same material as well as the waveguide plates with the same thickness of different materials to conduct experimental measurements and observe the dye characteristics. The experimental results show that thicker waveguide plates provide higher light intensities from waveguides. The waveguide plates made of the plastic material can obtain better light intensities than those made of the glass material.
