Abstract
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) containing novel DP-T and DP-P organic sensitizers having thiophene and N-methyl pyrrole moieties as Ï€ bridges in a D–Ï€–A system were assembled and characterized. Incorporation of a thiophene bridge to give sensitizer DP-T enhanced solar energy capture, while impedance spectroscopy showed a much longer electron recombination lifetime (Ï„) for the DSSCs based on pyrrole containing sensitizer DP-P. The observed kinetics led to increased open circuit voltage (Voc) for the device based on DP-P, regardless of types of additives (TBP or DCA) employed in the devices. Better photovoltaic performance was achieved using DP-T.
Microsoft is Ending Support for Windows 7
Microsoft will discontinue support for Windows 7 on January 14, 2020 which means Gamry will also be discontinuing support for Windows 7. If you are upgrading to Windows 10, like many companies and institutions, you need to be running Version 7 of our s oftware . Please note that only USB and Ethernet-based instruments can run in Version 7. Eligible users can download the latest version of our software through our online Client Portal .
If you haven't already registered your instrument, you can do so through the Client Portal .
Please email Technical Support if you have any questions regarding this transition. Please be sure to include your instrument model and serial number when contacting us.
