Influence of a Ti[Cl.sub.4] post-treatment on nanocrystalline Ti[O.sub.2] films in dye-sensitized solar cells
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to investigate the influence of the Ti[Cl.sub.4] post-treatment on nanocrystalline Ti[O.sub.2] films as electrodes in dye-sensitized solar cells and compared to nontreated films. Results reveal an increase in photocurrent that is primarily not caused by an increase in light absorbed or by a decrease in losses during transport , which allows for the conclusion that in the untreated films, some absorbed photons do not result in electron injection into Ti[O.sub.2] conduction band.

The efficiency of light-emitting electrochemical cells
Article Abstract:
The efficiency behavior of light-emitting electrochemical cells (LECs) fabricated form a methyl-substituted ladder-type poly(p-phenylene) (MLPPP) that was blended with a crown ether based solid state electrolyte is reported. Unlike organic light-emitting diodes utilizing mLPPP as an active layer, the LECs suffer from a loss of efficiency at elevated current densities.
