- We present a new perylene sensitizer, ID 176, for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The dye has the capability for very high photocurrents due to strong absorption from 400 to over 700 rim. Photocurrents Of LIP to 9 mA cm(-2) were achieved in solid-state DSCs employing the hole conductor 2,2'7,7'-tetrakis-(NN-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (spiro-MeOTAD), with a conversion efficiency of 3.2%. In contrast, the sensitizer did not perform well in conjunction with liquid iodide/tri-iodide electrolytes, suggesting a difference in the injection and regeneration mechanisms in these two types of dye-sensitized solar cells.

- This work describes the design and validation of an instrument to measure the kinetic energies of ions ejected by the pulsed laser ablation (PLA) of a solid target. Mass spectra show that the PLA of Ni, Al, and ZnO targets, in vacuum, using the second harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser (532 nm, pulse duration similar to 10 ns) generates abundant X(n+) ions (n <= 3 for Ni, <= 2 for Al, <= 3 and <= 2 for Zn and O respectively from ZnO). Ions are selected by their mass/charge (m/z) ratio prior to the determination of their times of flight. PLA of Ni has been studied in most detail. The mean velocities of ablated Ni(n+) ions are shown to follow the trend v(Ni(3+))>v(Ni(2+))>v(Ni(+)). Data from Ni(2+) and Ni(3+) are fitted to shifted Maxwellian functions and agree well with a model which assumes both thermal and Coulombic contributions to ion velocities. The dependence of ion velocities on laser pulse energy (and fluence) is investigated, and the high energy data are shown to be consistent with an effective accelerating voltage of similar to 90 V within the plume. The distribution of velocities associated with Ni(3+) indicates a population at cooler temperature than Ni(2+).
