PPS issue 5 now available online!

Issue 5 of Photochemical & Photobiological Sciences is now available to read online.

The front cover this month features work by Giuseppe Calogero, Fernando Pina and co-workers from from Messina, Italy, and Caparica, Portugal. In their paper, flavylium salt dyes were employed for the first time as sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and photoelectrochemical measurements showed that they are very promising compounds for such applications. These synthetic analogues of anthocyanins could present a new type of “biomimetic” environmentally friendly sensitizers.

Read the full article for free until 30th May 2013.
