Two kinds of Ru(Ⅱ)-bipyridine complexes, cis-di(thiocyanate)bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate) ruthenium(Ⅱ) and cis-di(thiocyanate)bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate) ruthenium(Ⅱ), were utilized as the s...Two kinds of Ru(Ⅱ)-bipyridine complexes, cis-di(thiocyanate)bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylate) ruthenium(Ⅱ) and cis-di(thiocyanate)bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-3,3′-dicarboxylate) ruthenium(Ⅱ), were utilized as the sensitizers to the nanocrystalline TiO-2 film electrodes. Study shows that the two dyes have quite different sensitization properties due to the strong steric effect of carboxyl groups. In addition, the pretreatment to nanocrystalline TiO-2 film electrodes with TiCl-4 was investigated, which is an effective way to improve the photoelectric conversion performances of sensitized TiO-2 electrodes.展开更多
