Synthesis and Characterization of Free and Copper (II) Complex of N,N′-<i>Bis</i>(Salicylidene)Ethylenediamine for Application in Dye Sensitized Solar Cells

Dye sensitized solar cell represents a promising method for the conversion of solar energy to electric energy. In the present work free N,N'-bis(salicyli-dene)ethylenediamine and its copper (II) complex were synthesized, characterized, and investigated for use as dye sensitizers in the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cells. The dyes were characterized using UV-Vis, Steady State Florescence, and Fluorescence Lifetime, Thermogravimetric Analysis, Differential Scanning Calorimetry, and Cyclic Voltammetry. The thermogravimetric analyses of the ligand and the ligand Copper complex demonstrate the stabilizing effect of the copper ion on the ligand complex. Additionally, the copper ion is shown to stabilize the structure, as evidenced by the 150oC increase in the extrapolated onset temperature of the decomposition event. The ligand copper complex is further stabilized by the presence of the copper, which is determined by the 6.34% residue that remained at the end of the thermogravimetric analysis, compared with 0% residue when applying the same condition for the ligand without copper. The current-voltage characteristics of the cells and the electrochemical impedance were determined. The photovoltaic performance of the solar cell devices fabricated using N,N'-bis(salicylidene) ethylenediamine dye was found to be slightly better than those produced from the copper complex. The solar to electric power efficiency of the ligand-based dye sensitized solar cell was 0.14% and that of the copper complex was found to 0.12%. Although the difference in the cell efficiency is quite small, it is obvious that the insertion of Copper into the ligand did not enhance the performance of the solar cells. The photocurrent-photovoltage results are consistent with the absorption spectra that showed a more prominent band for the ligand. The free hydroxyl groups, present in the ligand but absent from the copper complex owing to their coordination with the copper metal, could be responsible for the difference in the performance of the devices. The hydroxyl groups get attached to the TiO2 and facilitate the transfer of electrons.

Simultaneous Determination of Bismuth,Lead,and Iron in Water Samples by Optimization of USAEME and ICP–OES via Experimental Design

Ultrasound-assisted emulsification–microextraction followed by inductively coupled plasma–optical emission spectrometry was utilized for simultaneous pre-concentration and trace detection of lead,bismuth,and iron in water samples.Disodium N,N -bis(salicylidene)ethylenediamine and trichloroethylene were used as chelating agent and extraction solvent,respectively.The parameters of interest were volume of extraction solvent,temperature,and concentrations of salt and chelating agent.A fractional factorial design was developed to identify these parameters and how they vary with one another.The results demonstrated that the concentrations of salt and chelating agent affected extraction efficiency.Subsequently,a central-composite design was used to acquire optimum levels of effective parameters.The optimal conditions were 160.7 mg L^(−1) and 1.77%(w/v)for concentration of chelating agent and salt,respectively.The linear dynamic ranges were determined to be 1–1000μg L^(−1) for Pb and Bi,and 10–1000μg L^(−1) for Fe.The correlation coefficient(R2)was 0.990–0.995.The limits of detection were 0.54–0.78μg L^(−1).The relative standard deviation(concentration=200μg L^(−1),n=8)was in the range of 2.0–4.3%.This method was successfully applied for the trace detection of Pb,Bi,and Fe in freshwater samples of waterfall and spring and satisfactory relative recoveries(96.2–99.6%)were obtained.
