Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing a thin film on a substrate in which a first precursor composition (FPC) and a second precursor composition (SPC) are combined, a thin layer of the combined first precursor composition (FPC) and second precursor composition (SPC) is formed on a substrate and the thin layer is cured, an article comprising said thin layer, a composition comprising said first precursor composition (FPC) and said second precursor composition (SPC), a kit-of-parts comprising said first precursor composition (FPC) and said second precursor composition (SPC) in two vessels and the use of said composition or kit-of-parts for preparing a thin film on a substrate and for preparing an optical or electrical coating.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the use of a compound of formula I: in dye-sensitized solar cells. It also relates to a compound of formula I′: to a compound of formula I″: to the use of a compound of formula II: as a precursor compound for manufacturing the compound of formula I when q is 0 or 1 and as a precursor compound for manufacturing the compound of formula I′ when q is 1; to a compound of formula III: to the use of the compounds of formulae I, I′ or I″ as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells; and to such dye-sensitized solar cells.
