• -dioxaborolan-2-yl)isoindigo were used (Scheme 6). Thus, a photovoltaic cell based on thiophene derivative 7 mixed with PC71BM showed an efficiency of 1.88% [19], but if the pyrenyl substituent is bonded directly to the isoindigo core, the efficiency of such an OSC turns out to be significantly lower (0.10

• derivatives of isoindigo containing no thiophene units were also used as acceptor components of the OSCs. Moreover, in both of the studies described in recent years, the donor component of the photovoltaic cell was variously substituted polythiophene, while the acceptor component (isoindigo platform) was

• photomicroreactors, which was fabricated via 3D printing [39]. Luminescent solar concentrators have been used in photovoltaic cell research for a couple of decades [40]. Noël’s group combined the use of luminescent solar concentrators with microfluidics to harvest solar radiation into a narrow wavelength region and

• photovoltaic cell exposed to the light until the current passing through the reaction was the same as that used with the traditional setup. The two cases in Scheme 2 were selected because the oxidation potential of the substrates differed by more than 0.5 V. However, that difference in potential had little

• more difficult-to-oxidize substrate. The use of a larger photovoltaic cell would have afforded a larger potential drop across the cell, a scenario that would allow for the passage of more current through the cell. This approach would have been undertaken if further optimization of the reaction had been

• literature can be mimicked satisfactorily with only a small investment of time and money. Experimental General information Electrolysis reactions were performed using a photovoltaic cell and a light source (direct sunlight or a compact fluorescent bulb (hydrophonic, full spectrum, 60 W, 5500K)) with an
