      Blas Ferrando, Vicente M.; Ortiz, Javier; González Pedro, Victoria; S. Sánchez, Rafael; Mora-Sero, Ivan; Fernández Lázaro, Fernando; Sastre Santos, Ángela Royal Society of Chemistry (2014-12-08)
      The power conversion efficiency of CdSe and CdS quantum dot sensitized solar cells is enhanced by passivation with asymmetrically substituted phthalocyanines. The introduction of the phthalocyanine dye increases the ...
    • openAccess   Electropolymerized polyaniline: A promising hole selective contact in organic photoelectrochemical cells 

      Belarbi, Eya; Blas Ferrando, Vicente M.; Haro, Marta; Maghraoui Meherzi, Hager; Gimenez, Sixto Elsevier (2016-11)
      In the present study, we have prepared Polyaniline (PANI) thin films by electrochemical polymerization on ITO substrates in acidic medium at room temperature. We have followed a systematic modification of both the precursor ...
    • openAccess   Synergistic Interaction of Dyes and Semiconductor Quantum Dots for Advanced Cascade Cosensitized Solar Cells 

      Blas Ferrando, Vicente M.; Ortiz, Javier; González Pedro, Victoria; S. Sánchez, Rafael; Mora-Sero, Ivan; Fernández Lázaro, Fernando; Sastre Santos, Ángela Wiley (2015-06-03)
      A new procedure for the cosensitization with quantum dots (QDs) and dyes for sensitized solar cells is reported here. Cascade cosensitization of TiO2 electrodes is obtained by the sensitization with CdS QDs and zinc ...
