Highly Efficient p-Type Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells based on Tris(1,2-diaminoethane)Cobalt(II)/(III) Electrolytes

Co‐produced: Using [Co(en)3]2+/3+ based‐electrolytes in p‐type dye‐sensitized solar cells (p‐DSCs) gives record energy conversion efficiencies of 1.3 % and open‐circuit voltages up to 709 mV under simulated sun light. The increase in photovoltage is due to the more negative redox potential of [Co(en...

Summary:Co‐produced: Using [Co(en)3]2+/3+ based‐electrolytes in p‐type dye‐sensitized solar cells (p‐DSCs) gives record energy conversion efficiencies of 1.3 % and open‐circuit voltages up to 709 mV under simulated sun light. The increase in photovoltage is due to the more negative redox potential of [Co(en)3]2+/3+ compared to established mediators.
