K. Hara et al., Highly efficient photon-to-electron conversion of mercurochrome-sensitizednanoporous ZnO solar cells, CHEM LETT, (4), 2000, pp. 316-317
Mercurochrome showed efficient performance as an organic dye photosensitize
r for a solar cell based on nanoporous ZnO thin film electrodes. A 2.5% sol
ar energy conversion efficiency was accomplished under AM 1.5 (99 mW cm(-2)
) with a short-circuit photocurrent density (Jsc) of 7.44 mA cm(-2), an ope
n-circuit photovoltage (Voc) of 0.52 V, and a fill factor of 0.64. A monoch
romatic incident photon-to-current efficiency (IPCE) reached 69% at 510 nm.
