The semi-transparent solar cells are promising to be applied in building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) and tandem solar cells. In this study, semi-transparent and stable solar cells are fabricated for BIPV by utilizing a poly (ethylene oxide) electrolyte and controlling the size of TiO2 nanoparticles and the thickness of the TiO2 film. The power conversion efficiency of the semi-transparent (> 50% transmittance at 620-750 nm) and quasi-solid solar cells is 5.78% under standard AM1.5G, 100 mW cm-2. The higher conductivity and smaller diffusion resistance of the quasi-solid electrolyte inside the mesoporous TiO2 film indicate the confinement effects of the polymer electrolyte inside a mesoporous TiO2 film. The unsealed semi-transparent and quasi-solid solar cell retains its initial efficiency during 1000 h irradiation in humid air. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Methylbenzimidazole (cas: 1632-83-3Computed Properties of C8H8N2).
1-Methylbenzimidazole (cas: 1632-83-3) belongs to imidazole derivatives. Imidazole derivatives generally have good solubility in protic solvents. Simple imidazole derivatives, such as 1H-imidazole, 2-methyl-1H-imidazole, and 1,2-dimethylimidazole, have very high solubility in water. Many drugs contain an imidazole ring, such as certain antifungal drugs, the nitroimidazole series of antibiotics, and the sedative midazolam.Computed Properties of C8H8N2
