Computational approach
• Geometry Optimizations (CP-ultrasoft pseudopotentials)
• Calculation of excited states energies and oscillator strengths by Time
Dependent-DFT (G03, ADF)
• Inclusion of solvation effects by a Polarizable Continuum Model
(PCM) (G03, CP, ADF)

Ru(II)-polypyridyl sensitizers for TiO2 in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs)
M. Graetzel, Nature, 2001, 414, 338.; M. Graetzel Inorg. Chem. 2005, 44, 6841
1. The dye, adsorbed on the semiconductor oxide surface, absorbs light in the visible region.
2. An electron is then transferred from the dye excited state to the TiO2 conduction band.
3. The oxidized dye is regenerated by a support electrolyte.
[Ru(4,4’COOH2,2’bpy)2(NCS)2],[Ru(4,4’COOH2,2’bpy)2(NCS)2],defined as N3defined as N3
An efficient solar cell sensitizer should have broad range of visible light absorption, form long-living excited states with energies almost matching those of the TiO2 conduction band and show a high thermal stability.
