Abstract

This study aims to improve the photovoltaic properties of phthalacyanines by additives that can be used as DSSC to produce economical materials for renewable energy. Therefore, silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) were successfully synthesized by green chemistry method using green husk of walnut (GHW). Additionally, a new axial silicon phthalocyanine was synthesized. The phytocomponent AgNPs were doped with our newly synthesized phthalocyanine and applied in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSC) as a sensitizer. The power conversion efficiency of the prepared DSSC was investigated. The formation of AgNPs was confirmed by optical absorption at wavelength between 350 and 540 nm. XRD data confirmed that the average crystallite size of AgNPs was 46.17 nm. FTIR analyses identified the bio-components potentially responsible for silver nanoparticle formation. TEM analysis shows that there are nanoparticles with an average size of 36.15 nm. The success of environmentally friendly green synthesized AgNPs to activate the sensitizer in DSSCs indicates that silver nanoparticles can be effectively used in such applications. The conversion efficiency of the axial phthalocyanine compound was measured as 2.05. However, as a result of doping the phthalocyanine compound with AgNPs, it was measured as 2.63 and 2.81 at 1:1 and 1:2 ratios, respectively. This clearly reveals the effect of AgNPs.

绿色合成AgNPs和酞菁在DSSCs中的光伏增强

本研究旨在通过添加可作为DSSC的添加剂来改善酞菁的光伏性能，从而生产经济的可再生能源材料。因此，以核桃绿壳为原料，采用绿色化学方法成功地合成了纳米银。此外，还合成了一种新的轴向酞菁硅。将新合成的酞菁掺杂到植物成分AgNPs中，并作为敏化剂应用于染料敏化太阳能电池（DSSC）中。对制备的DSSC的功率转换效率进行了研究。通过350 ~ 540 nm波长的光吸收证实了AgNPs的形成。XRD数据证实，AgNPs的平均晶粒尺寸为46.17 nm。FTIR分析确定了可能导致银纳米颗粒形成的生物成分。TEM分析表明，纳米颗粒的平均粒径为36.15 nm。环境友好的绿色合成AgNPs成功激活DSSCs中的敏化剂，表明银纳米颗粒可以有效地用于此类应用。轴向酞菁化合物的转化效率为2.05。然而，由于在酞菁化合物中掺杂AgNPs，在1:1和1:2的比例下测得的结果分别为2.63和2.81。这清楚地揭示了AgNPs的作用。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Inclusion Phenomena and Macrocyclic Chemistry is the premier interdisciplinary publication reporting on original research into all aspects of host-guest systems. Examples of specific areas of interest are: the preparation and characterization of new hosts and new host-guest systems, especially those involving macrocyclic ligands; crystallographic, spectroscopic, thermodynamic and theoretical studies; applications in chromatography and inclusion polymerization; enzyme modelling; molecular recognition and catalysis by inclusion compounds; intercalates in biological and non-biological systems, cyclodextrin complexes and their applications in the agriculture, flavoring, food and pharmaceutical industries; synthesis, characterization and applications of zeolites. The journal publishes primarily reports of original research and preliminary communications, provided the latter represent a significant advance in the understanding of inclusion science. Critical reviews dealing with recent advances in the field are a periodic feature of the journal.
