Abstract
Abstract. Electrochemistry is a key technology to synthesize, study and scale-up materials and processes for applications in solar energy conversion systems. Mexico has had a tradition of excellence in electrochemistry research and methodology development, and this paper intends to honor some of the key contributors in the subjects of solar energy conversion to useful heat or electricity. We summarize the use of electrochemical techniques as a tool for the deposition and characterization, including the analysis of electrodeposition solutions and deposition mechanisms. In addition, we describe the use of electrodeposited and hybrid ZnO films for application in dye-sensitized solar cells, which are photoelectrochemical systems, and discuss the mechanisms that govern solar cell performance. Resumen. La electroquímica es una tecnología clave para sintetizar, estudiar y escalar materiales y procesos para aplicaciones en sistemas de conversión de energía solar. México ha tenido una tradición de excelencia en la investigación y el desarrollo de metodologías electroquímicas, y este documento tiene la intención de honrar a algunos de los principales contribuyentes en los temas de conversión de energía solar en calor o electricidad útil. Resumimos el uso de técnicas electroquímicas como herramienta para la deposición y caracterización, incluyendo el análisis de soluciones de electrodepósito y mecanismos de deposición. Además, se describe el uso de películas de ZnO híbridas y electrodepositadas para su aplicación en celdas solares sensibilizadas con tinte, que son sistemas fotoelectroquímicos, y discutimos los mecanismos que gobiernan el rendimiento de las celdas solares.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the Mexican Chemical Society (J. Mex. Chem. Soc.) is a scientific, blind, peer reviewed, and open access, free of charge publication that covers all areas of chemistry and its sub-disciplines (i.e. medicinal chemistry, natural products, electrochemistry, material science, computational chemistry, organic chemistry, bionirganic chemistry, etc). It is devoted to facilitating the worldwide advancement of our understanding of chemistry. It will primarily publish original contributions of research in all branches of the theory and practice of chemistry in its broadest context as well as critical reviews in active areas of chemical research where the author has published significant contribution. The J. Mex. Chem. Soc. is a quarterly publication which language of submission and publication is English. To be suitable for publication in J. Mex. Chem. Soc., manuscripts must describe novel aspects of chemistry, high quality of results and discussion an excellent bibliographic support, and contribute to the development of the field. Routine or incremental work are not suitable for publication in J. Mex. Chem. Soc. Authors are encouraged to send contributions in electronic form. Our online submission system guides you stepwise through the process of entering your article details and uploading your files.
