Synthesis and photovoltaic performance of asymmetric di-anchoring organic dyes
2015
Abstract Two novel metal-free organic dyes bearing two asymmetric double donor–acceptor segments were synthesized. Their physical, optical, electrochemical properties and photovoltaic performances were investigated. Compared with the mono-anchoring dye containing single donor–acceptor chain, these new dyes exhibited a broader and much stronger absorption in the light wavelength ranging from 400 to 600 nm, showed higher IPCE values and short-circuit current density, which led to more efficient photovoltaic performance. The dye with triphenylamine and phenothiazine as two electron donors and two cyanoacrylic acids as two electron acceptors exhibited an impressive power conversion efficiency o…
Synthesis of phenothiazine-based di-anchoring dyes containing fluorene linker and their photovoltaic performance
2015
Abstract A new di-anchoring organic dye based on phenothiazine featuring A-D-π-D-A (acceptor-donor-π-linker-donor-acceptor) configuration with fluorene as the π linker was designed and successfully synthesized. Compared to the corresponding mono-anchoring D-A congener, this new dye exhibited a broader and stronger absorption in the light wavelength ranging from 400 nm to 600 nm and thus showed a more efficient photovoltaic performance for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The overall power conversion efficiency (η) of this new dye in a sensitized solar cell amounted to 5.70%, which is 17% higher than that of the equivalent based counterpart (4.87%). On the other hand, the introduction of …
