General description

FK 209 Co(III) TFSI salt (FK 209) is a Co(III) based complex that is used as a p-type dopant for the hole transporting material with a power conversion efficiency in the range of 9-12%.

Application

FK 209 can be used to induce a p-doping on PCDTBT and spiro-OMeTAD, which can be used as hole transporting materials in the fabrication of perovskite solar cells (PSCs) with an efficiency of 15-16%.
Use this cobalt complexes to increase photovoltages of liquid electrolyte cells substantially or to achieve ultrahigh performance with solid state photovoltaic devices.

In this work, we report a new cobalt(III) complex, tris[2-(1H-pyrazol-1-yl)pyrimidine]cobalt(III) tris[bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide] (MY11), with deep redox potential (1.27 V vs NHE) as dopant for 2,2',7,7'-tetrakis-(N,N-di-p-methoxyphenylamine)-9,9'-spirobifluorene (spiro-OMeTAD). This dopant possesses, to the best of our knowledge, the deepest redox potential among all

We report a combined experimental and computational investigation to understand the nature of the interactions between cobalt redox mediators and TiO(2) surfaces sensitized by ruthenium and organic dyes, and their impact on the performance of the corresponding dye-sensitized solar cells

Articles

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are 3rd generation solar cells combining the promise of high efficiency with low production costs.

Next generation solar cells have the potential to achieve conversion efficiencies beyond the Shockley-Queisser (S-Q) limit while also significantly lowering production costs.

Dr. Perini and Professor Correa-Baena discuss the latest research and effort to obtain higher performance and stability of perovskite materials.
