Application

Butyronitrile was used in electrolyte composition in dye-sensitized solar cells†.

General description

Molar volumes of vapor-deposited butyronitrile glasses have been studied as a function of deposition temperature. Reactions of butyronitrile with high-temperature water at 330°C and pressures ranging from 128 to 2600bar were investigated.

We elaborated a new electrolyte composition, based on butyronitrile solvent, that exhibits low volatility for use in dye-sensitized solar cells. The strong point of this new class of electrolyte is that it combines high efficiency and excellent stability properties, while

Molar volumes (Vm) of vapor-deposited ethylcyclohexane (ECH) and butyronitrile (BN, sometimes called butanenitrile) glasses were studied as a function of deposition temperature (Td). ECH glasses deposited at Td sufficiently below their glass-transition temperature (Tg) exhibited changes in Vm on heating

The luminescence properties of ruthenium(ii) tris(2,2'-bipyridine) have been recorded in butyronitrile solution and in a transparent KBr disk over a reasonable temperature range. In solution, spectral curve fitting routines indicate that emission arises solely from an ensemble of triplet states
