Polypyridyl copper complexes as dye sensitizer and redox mediator for dye-sensitized solar cells

Jeanet Conradie

Summary: This mini review briefly discusses the developments on the application of polypyridyl-based copper complexes in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Copper complexes can be used as dye sensitizers and/or as redox mediators in DSSCs. The abundance and low cost of copper make it a cheaper and non-toxic alternative to the commonly used iodide/triiodide electrolyte redox couple and the expensive and rare ruthenium-based dyes.

Synthesis of novel MoWO4 with ZnO nanoflowers on multi-walled carbon nanotubes for counter electrode application in dye-sensitized solar cells

Yonrapach Areerob et al.

Summary: A novel MoWO4 with ZnO nanoflowers was synthesized on multi-walled carbon nanotubes and used as a counter electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells for the first time. The synergetic effect of ZnO nanoflowers and MoWO4 on MWCNTs was investigated and optimized, resulting in a composite structure with the highest power conversion efficiency of 9.96%. Therefore, the MW-Z@MWCNTs-based CE shows potential to replace traditional Pt-based electrodes in the future.

A critical review on deployment planning and risk analysis of carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) toward carbon neutrality

Siyuan Chen et al.

Summary: This study provides an overview of model-based CCUS deployment pathways towards carbon neutrality, as well as the associated risks in financial, technical, environmental, health and safety aspects. The research suggests that the Golden Age of CCUS deployment is projected to be between 2040 and 2060 globally, and between 2030 and 2050 for China. The study also highlights the challenges and constraints faced by CCUS, including inadequate exploration in geologic storage capacity, high failure rate of projects, lack of financial support and market stimulus, as well as incomplete regulation framework and risk-sharing mechanism.
