Metal-free organic sensitizers for use in water-splitting dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells

Journal Article Swierk, John R. ; Méndez-Hernández, Dalvin D. ; McCool, Nicholas S. ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Solar fuel generation requires the efficient capture and conversion of visible light. In both natural and artificial systems, molecular sensitizers can be tuned to capture, convert, and transfer visible light energy. We demonstrate that a series of metal-free porphyrins can drive photoelectrochemical water splitting under broadband and red light (λ > 590 nm) illumination in a dye-sensitized TiO₂ solar cell. Here, we report the synthesis, spectral, and electrochemical properties of the sensitizers. Despite slow recombination of photoinjected electrons with oxidized porphyrins, photocurrents are low because of low injection yields and slow electron self-exchange between oxidized porphyrins. As a result, themore »« less

Charge Recombination with Fractional Reaction Orders in Water-Splitting Dye-sensitized Photoelectrochemical Cells

Journal Article Xu, Pengtao ; Gray, Christopher L. ; Xiao, Langqiu ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

In water-splitting dye-sensitized photoelectrochemical cells (WS-DSPECs), charge recombination competes with catalytic water oxidation to determine the overall efficiency of the system. The kinetics of these processes have been difficult to understand because transient absorbance (TA) experiments typically show nearly complete charge recombination on the sub-millisecond timescale; in contrast, electrochemical measurements such as open circuit photovoltage decay suggest a charge recombination timescale that is 2-3 orders of magnitude longer. Here we explore these processes with dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO₂ and TiO₂/Ta₂O₅ core-shell photoanodes in aqueous electrolytes using TA spectroscopy, intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS), and photoelectrochemical impedance spectroscopy (PEIS). The fast recombination ratesmore »« less
