Performance of dye-sensitized solar cells based on novel sensitizers bearing asymmetric double D−π−A chains with arylamines as donors

2012

Abstract Three novel, metal-free organic sensitizers bearing two asymmetric double donor-π-acceptor (D-π-A) chains ( DC1 - 3 ), each, and a reference dye containing single D-π-A chain ( SC ) with cyanoacrylic acid as electron acceptor are synthesized. Their photophysical, electrochemical properties and the performances of the corresponding dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are further investigated. The dyes, DC1, DC2 and DC3 contain one chain with diphenylamine and another chain with carbazole or phenothiazine as electron donor, while diphenylamine is only employed as electron donor in SC . Compared to the inferior solar energy to electricity conversion efficiency ( η ) of 2.82%, 4.66% and…

Organic Dye Bearing Asymmetric Double Donor-π-Acceptor Chains for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

2011

A novel efficient metal free sensitizer containing asymmetric double donor-π-acceptor chains (DC) was synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Comparing to 3.80%, 4.40% and 4.64% for the DSSCs based on the dyes with single chain (SC1, SC2) and cosensitizers (SC1 + SC2), the overall conversion efficiency reaches 6.06% for DC-sensitized solar cells as a result of its longer electron lifetime and higher incident monochromatic photon-to-current conversion efficiency.

2-Organoselenomethyl-1H-benzimidazole Complexes of Copper(II) and Copper(I)

2009

Structurally characterized 2-methylselenomethyl-1H-benzimidazole (msbi) is shown to form complexes in 2:1 ratio with copper(II). Whereas the central cation [Cu(msbi)2Cl]+ = 1+ in [Cu(msbi)2Cl]Cl·2MeOH crystallizes in an approximately mixed square-pyramidal/trigonal-bipyramidal structure (τ = 0.52) with the second and third row atoms chlorine and selenium in the equatorial plane, the related [Cu(msbi)2(MeOH)](BF4)2 = [2](BF4)2 exhibits a closer to square-pyramidal arrangement with τ = 0.36 for that complex dication 22+. In both cases, the Cu–N bonds are short at about 1.94 A, whereas the Cu–Se distances vary between 2.62 A for 1+ and ca. 2.54 A for 22+. Slight differences between the Jahn–Te…
