Novel indole-based photosensitizers coupled with PEG-HEC quasi-solid-state electrolyte to improve energy conversion and stability of organic dyes based-dye sensitized solar cells

Kamaraj Santhosh et al.

Summary: A series of novel Indole based organic dyes were synthesized and coupled with a Poly-ethylene glycol-Hydroxy ethyl cellulose quasi-solid-state-electrolyte (PEG-HEC QSSE) polymer blended iodine electrolyte to obtain a metal-free dye-based dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSCs) with better stability. The electrochemical properties of the dyes were determined, and a comparative study was conducted to analyze the performance of different dyes coupled with QSSE, revealing one dye with superior performance. The combination of new Indole based organic dyes with PEG-HEC QSSE paved a way to improve the power conversion efficiency and stability of dye-sensitized solar cells.

Chemo-mechanical modelling of swelling and crosslinking reaction kinetics in alginate hydrogels: A novel theory and its numerical implementation

Aidin Hajikhani et al.

Summary: Hydrogels are mechanically stabilized through induced crosslinking in the polymer network by external agents, but monitoring crosslinking kinetics with sufficient resolution is currently lacking. A new thermodynamically consistent chemo-mechanical model has been proposed to study reactive-diffusive mechanisms in alginate hydrogels, allowing for investigation of hydrogels' behavior and characterization of mechano-chemical properties. The model reveals a two-way coupling between mechanics and chemistry, showing the importance of internal stresses on crosslinking kinetics.
