Use C101 Hydrophobic Dye when experimenting with increased performance under both expanded thermal stress and long-term light soaking.

The C101 Hydrophobic Dye is comprised of an alkyl functionalized thiophenyl bipyridine providing a greater Pi conjugation which enhances its optical absorption. The hydrophobic nature of the moiety also increases donor property to the metallic centre and provides steric hindrance to minimize dye stacking, packing and agglomeration behavior thus increasing the overall device performance.

Use C106 Hydrophobic Dye when experimenting with increased performance under both expanded thermal stress and long-term light soaking.

The C106 Hydrophobic Dye is comprised of the other functionalized thiophenyl bipyridine providing a greater Pi conjugation with respect to C101 which enhances its optical absorption. The hydrophobic nature of the moiety also increases donor property to the metallic centre and provides steric hindrance to minimize dye stacking, packing and agglomeration behavior thus increasing the overall device performance.

Specifications:

Use K19 Hydrophobic Dye when experimenting with increased performance under both expanded thermal stress and long-term light soaking.

The K19 Hydrophobic Dye is comprised of an alkoxy functionalized styryl bipyridine providing a greater Pi conjugation which enhances its optical absorption. The hydrophobic nature of the moiety also increases donor property to the metallic centre and provides steric hindrance to minimize dye stacking, packing and agglomeration behavior thus increasing the overall device performance.

Specifications:

Use N3 Foundation Dye to efficiently sensitized wide band-gap oxide semiconductors such as titanium dioxide. Recommended application in 0.2-0.3mM solution with ethanol or acetonitrile/tert-butanol (1:1, vol:vol).

N3 Foundation Dye is the baseline or foundation dye for Dye Solar Cell dyes. Like all dyes, N3 Foundation Dye offers guaranteed performance, high reproducibility, stable/consistent results, and is of the highest purity.

Specifications:

Use N719 Industry Standard Dye to produce Dye Solar Cells with higher cell voltage than the N3 Foundation Dye.

N719 Industry Standard Dye is a modification of the N3 Foundation Dye with changes that increase cell voltage. It is the most common high performance dye, often called the industry’s “workhorse dye”.

N719 Industry Standard Dye is more soluble than N3 Foundation Dye in polar solvents. Like all dyes, N719 Industry Standard Dye offers guaranteed performance, high reproducibility, stable/consistent results, and is of the highest purity.

Specifications:

Use N749 Black Dye when experimenting with wider spectral capture and variable aesthetic options.
N749 Black Dye is designed for the widest range spectral sensitization of wide band-gap oxide semiconductors, like titanium dioxide up to wavelengths beyond 800 nm.

Like all Dyes, N749 Black Dye offers guaranteed performance, high reproducibility, stable/consistent results, and is of the highest purity.

Specifications:

Use Z907 Hydrophobic Dye when experimenting with hydrophobic systems.

Z907 Hydrophobic Dye very efficiently sensitises wide band-gap oxide semiconductors, like titanium dioxide. Like all Dyes, Z907 Hydrophobic Dye offers guaranteed performance, high reproducibility, stable/consistent results, and is of the highest purity.
