Dye sensitized solar cells (DSC) are currently attracting widespread academic and commercial interest for the conversion of sunlight into electricity because of their low cost and high efficiency. Over the past few years, considerable progress has been made in understanding the function of various components of DSC. An important component of the cell is preparation of a suitable dye which is our speciality.
HetCat, located at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, is a dynamic and reliable supplier of heterocyclic compounds (oligopyridines) and dyes for DSC-system.
HetCat Switzerland specialises in research and preparation of novel as well as known oligopyridines and their metal complexes. Functionalised oligopyridines are mostly used in DSC due to their properties. Our offer covers the whole range of pyridine, bipyridine, terpyridine, quaterpyridine and also higher oligopyridine derivatives.
Scientists working in Supramolecular chemistry, metal complexes, DSC, photosynthesis, photocatalysis, photoconversion and nanomaterials may benefit. We offer known products or research work, and our knowledge helps you saving time and money. We guaranty for high quality using all analytic instruments (IR, UV, MS, GC, NMR, X-ray). All products are available in from mg range to bulk.
