Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are celebrating their 30th birthday and they are attracting
a wealth of research efforts aimed at unleashing their full potential. In recent years, DSCs …

Recent advances in our mechanistic understanding of dye-sensitized electron transfer
reactions occurring at metal oxide interfaces are described. These advances were enabled …

Aryl diazonium salts are ubiquitous building blocks in chemistry, as they are useful radical
precursors in organic synthesis as well as for the functionalization of solid materials. They …

The rapid development of photo (redox) catalysis within the last decades is remarkable to
the extent that the utilization of light‐driven processes in organic chemistry has become a …

The application of organic photocatalysts towards the oxidation of pollutants in water is
hampered by different limitations such as their insolubility in the media. Herein, we report …

Ion-pair interactions between a cationic ruthenium complex,[Ru (dtb) 2 (dea)][PF6] 2, C1 2+
where dea is 4, 4′-diethanolamide-2, 2′-bipyridine and dtb is 4, 4′-di-tert-butyl-2, 2 …

A comparative study of mesoporous thin films based on SnO2 (rutile) and TiO2 (anatase)
nanocrystallites sensitized to visible light with [Ru (dtb) 2 (dcb)](PF6) 2, where dtb= 4, 4 …

Photodriven HCl splitting to produce solar fuels is an important goal that requires strong
photo-oxidants capable of chloride oxidation. In a molecular approach toward this goal …

Recombination of electrons injected into TiO2 with molecular acceptors present at the
interface represents an important loss mechanism in dye-sensitized water oxidation and …

Two sensitizers,[Ru (bpy) 2 (dcb)] 2+(RuC) and [Ru (bpy) 2 (dpb)] 2+(RuP), where bpy is 2,
2′-bipyridine, dcb is 4, 4′-dicarboxylic acid-2, 2′-bipyridine and dpb is 4, 4 …
