Description

General description

N749 Black Dye (N749) has ruthenium at the center that forms a co-ordinate bond with the monoprotonated tricarboxyterpyridine and three thiocyanates. It can be used as a sensitizer that functionalizes the semi-conducting materials that exhibit an absorption peak in the near infrared region.

Application

N749 Black Dye is designed for the widest range spectral sensitisation of wide band-gap oxide semiconductors; like titanium dioxide up to wavelengths beyond 800nm.
Recommended application in 0.2-0.3mM solution with ethanol or acetonitrile/tert-butanol (1:1; vol:vol).

Reduced graphene oxide (rGO) can be surface modified by using N749 to enhance the photocatalytic characteristics of hydrogen evolution system. It may also be used as a high efficiency dye for niobium pentoxide (Nb₂O₅) photoanodes which can be used for the fabrication of titanium oxide (TiO₂) coated dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
