Ruthenium-Based Dyes for Dye Solar Cells

Dye solar cells (DSCs) are third generation solar cells with the promise of high efficiency combined with low production costs. While present day DSCs provide light-to-electricity conversion of up to 11%, significant further improvement is envisaged through optimized materials and novel cell and module architectures.

Optoelectronic Devices Based on Diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-containing Conjugated Small Molecules

Optoelectronic devices such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), solar cells, and light-emitting field effect transistors (FETs) that utilize organic materials as their light harvesting and/or charge transporting component have been the subject of much academic and commercial attention.
