The molecules of colour
AbstractIndigo, alizarin, mauveine, brazilin and brazilein (the latter two being major colour constituents of Brazilwood) are molecules that have had a strong impact in our civilization. The [...]
Styryl and phenylethynyl based coumarin chromophores for dye sensitized solar cells
AbstractA set of coumarin dyes with styryl and phenylethynyl π-bridge at the 3-position were tested for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The natural product 6,7-dihydroxycoumarin (Esculetin) [...]
Optical and Photovoltaic Properties of Thieno[3,2-b]thiophene-Based Push–Pull Organic Dyes with Different Anchoring Groups for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
AbstractThe effect of anchoring groups on the optical and electrochemical properties of triphenylamine-thienothiophenes, and on the photovoltaic performance of DSSCs photosensitized with the [...]
Carbon dioxide utilization—Electrochemical reduction to fuels and synthesis of polycarbonates
AbstractThe implications of the future implementation of carbon dioxide capture and storage (CCS) technologies on carbon dioxide utilisation (CDU) are briefly examined.Two examples of CDU [...]
Alternating donor–acceptor indigo-cyclopentadithiophene copolymers: competition between excited state conformational relaxation, energy transfer and excited state proton transfer
AbstractA comprehensive characterization of the electronic excited states of an alternating donor–acceptor indigo-[didodecyl-cyclopentadithiophene] copolymer (IndC12CPDT) together with a model [...]
Cyclopentadithiophene derivatives: a step towards an understanding of thiophene copolymer excited state deactivation pathways
AbstractWe have carried out the excited state characterization of cyclopentadithiophene (CPDT) and its didodecyl-substituted derivative (C12CPDT) to obtain detailed insights into their [...]
Hematite-based photoelectrode for solar water splitting with very high photovoltage
AbstractHematite photoelectrode is a promising candidate for photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting. However, the high density of surface defects and slow kinetics for oxygen evolution have [...]
