Rapid, 5 min, low temperature aqueous platinization for plastic substrates for dye-sensitized solar cells (2018)
Journal Article
Holliman, P., Fattori, A., Anthony, R., Ketipearacchi, U., Connell, A., Davies, M., & Jones, E. (2019). Rapid, 5 min, low temperature aqueous platinization for plastic substrates for dye-sensitized solar cells. Materials letters. X, 1, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mlblux.2018.100001

This paper reports a rapid (5 min), low temperature (120 �C) method to platinize the counter electrodes of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSC) devices. This new method uses aqueous solutions and is based on chemical bath deposition of an activating Pd...

Low cost triazatruxene hole transporting material for >20% efficiency perovskite solar cells (2018)
Journal Article
Connell, A., Zhiping, W., Lin, Y., Greenwood, P., Wiles, A., Jones, E., …Holliman, P. (2019). Low cost triazatruxene hole transporting material for >20% efficiency perovskite solar cells. Journal of Materials Chemistry C, 7(18), 5235-5243. https://doi.org/10.1039/c8tc04231d

Organic hole-transporting materials (HTM) have shown excellent ability in achieving high efficiency perovskite solar cells. However, their high cost significantly limits their applications in scaling-up perovskite solar cells. Here, we report an ef...

A perspective on using experiment and theory to identify design principles in dye-sensitized solar cells (2018)
Journal Article
Holliman, P., Kershaw, C., Connell, A., Jones, E., Hobbs, R., Anthony, R., …Metz, S. (2018). A perspective on using experiment and theory to identify design principles in dye-sensitized solar cells. Science and Technology of Advanced Materials, 19(1), 599-612. https://doi.org/10.1080/14686996.2018.1492858

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) have been the subject of wide-ranging studies for many years because of their potential for large-scale manufacturing using roll-to-roll processing allied to their use of earth abundant raw materials. Two main chal... Read More about A perspective on using experiment and theory to identify design principles in dye-sensitized solar cells.
