Over the last three decades, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received a lot of attention, reaching record efficiencies under AM 1.5G illumination slightly over 10%. However, these values are lower than other competing photovoltaic systems. The performance DSSCs has to be further enhanced in order substantial influence and application potential field photovoltaics. Herein we propose new intriguing strategy take advantage two concepts well known photovoltaics, such as tandem...
Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are gaining a newfound interest thanks to their superior ability harvest indoor light with efficiency higher than other photovoltaic technologies. This study reports, for the first time, possibility of using laser-induced graphene (LIG) as flexible counter electrode material DSSCs. A LIG (F-LIG) was fabricated by direct laser writing polyimide film, without need starting conductive substrate. The prepared electrodes showed catalytic activity towards...

The conversion of carbon dioxide into value-added products using sunlight, also called artificial photosynthesis, represents a remarkable and sustainable approach to store solar energy, transforming it chemical energy. There are mainly two strategies carry out this process: the photocatalytic reduction (CO2) or photovoltaic-powered electrochemical CO2. Herein, we focus on latter route, i.e., development device coupling cell an reactor for CO2 reduction. Different literature works...
On the path toward independence from fossil fuels, solar energy is most promising solution, but it needs a robust and reliable storage system to face its intrinsic fluctuations due location, day cycle, weather. The integration between harvesting (H&S) technologies must clean production, becomes even more appealing considering possibility of producing electricity not only direct sunlight also diffuse light indoor illumination. Herein, dye‐sensitized module (DSSM) developed harvest...
Indoor photovoltaics have gathered growing interest amongst researchers, as a mean to exploit the indoor lighting we use in our daily life power small devices. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) represent good candidates for such applications[1]. However, when it comes applications, there is an increased demand non-toxic and non-flammable solvents electrolytes. The implementation of water-based electrolytes promising way address these issues, whilst also ensuring eco-friendliness...
Energy Harvesting and Storage System In article number 2200245, Roberto Speranza, Andrea Lamberti co-workers show, that a dye-sensitized solar module an electrical double layer capacitor are integrated in the same device able to harvest directly store energy from indoor illumination.
