Most of the compounds have physiologically active properties, and their biological properties are often attributed to the heteroatoms contained in their molecules, and most of these heteroatoms also appear in cyclic structures. A Journal, Journal of Power Sources called Simple molecular structure but high efficiency: Achieving over 9% efficiency in dye-sensitized solar cells using simple triphenylamine sensitizer, Author is Wan, Zhongquan; Yang, Jinyu; Xia, Jianxing; Shu, Hongyu; Yao, Xiaojun; Luo, Junsheng; Jia, Chunyang, which mentions a compound: 1116-98-9, SMILESS is O=C(OC(C)(C)C)CC#N, Molecular C7H11NO2, Electric Literature of C7H11NO2.
The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) based on a sensitizer with a conjugated rhodanine (CRD) electron acceptor is increased by two times as compared with DSSC based on a sensitizer with nonconjugated rhodanine-3-acetic acid in our previous work. Herein, alkyl chain engineering is further introduced into the N position of the CRD electron acceptor to inhibit the intermol. aggregation and electron recombination utilizing the tunable alkyl chains as the barrier layer. Finally, the PCE of DSSC based on sensitizer with CRD electron acceptor is further improved, and an unexpected PCE of 9.02% is achieved using a simple triphenylamine sensitizer based on CRD electron acceptor with suitable alkyl chain.
Compound(1116-98-9)Electric Literature of C7H11NO2 received a lot of attention, and I have introduced some compounds in other articles, similar to this compound(tert-Butyl 2-cyanoacetate), if you are interested, you can check out my other related articles.
