Abstract
Abstract. Electrochemistry is a key technology to synthesize, study and scale-up materials and processes for applications in solar energy conversion systems. Mexico has had a tradition of excellence in electrochemistry research and methodology development, and this paper intends to honor some of the key contributors in the subjects of solar energy conversion to useful heat or electricity. We summarize the use of electrochemical techniques as a tool for the deposition and characterization, including the analysis of electrodeposition solutions and deposition mechanisms. In addition, we describe the use of electrodeposited and hybrid ZnO films for application in dye-sensitized solar cells, which are photoelectrochemical systems, and discuss the mechanisms that govern solar cell performance. Resumen. La electroquímica es una tecnología clave para sintetizar, estudiar y escalar materiales y procesos para aplicaciones en sistemas de conversión de energía solar. México ha tenido una tradición de excelencia en la investigación y el desarrollo de metodologías electroquímicas, y este documento tiene la intención de honrar a algunos de los principales contribuyentes en los temas de conversión de energía solar en calor o electricidad útil. Resumimos el uso de técnicas electroquímicas como herramienta para la deposición y caracterización, incluyendo el análisis de soluciones de electrodepósito y mecanismos de deposición. Además, se describe el uso de películas de ZnO híbridas y electrodepositadas para su aplicación en celdas solares sensibilizadas con tinte, que son sistemas fotoelectroquímicos, y discutimos los mecanismos que gobiernan el rendimiento de las celdas solares.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
