Textile actuators based on electrochemical lithiation of silicon thin films

Combination of organic donor–linker–acceptor dyes for panchromatic enhancement in photoelectrodes of dye-sensitized solar cells enables their environmentally friendly and cost-effective design. A promising combination in terms of spectral broadening and miscibility are the dyenamo red and blue dyes, which differ only in their molecular structure via linkers. In this work, we investigate the sequential cosensitization of both dyes together with the co-adsorption of aggregation inhibitor, chenodeoxycholic acid to increase the optical absorption and energy conversion efficiency. Finally, with a JSC of 10.2 mA cm-2 and a VOC of 584 mV, a small increase was achieved.
