ABSTRACT

A series of new phenothiazine-based dyes (HL5-HL7) with double acceptors/anchors have been synthesized and used as the sensitizers for highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Among them, the HL7-based cell exhibits the best efficiency of 8.32% exceeding the N719-based cell (7.35%) by ∼13%.

ABSTRACT

Dipolar metal-free sensitizers (D-π-A; D=donor, π=conjugated bridge, A=acceptor) consisting of a dithiafulvalene (DTF) unit as the electron donor, a benzene, thiophene, or fluorene moiety as the conjugated spacer, and 2-cyanoacrylic acid as the electron acceptor have been synthesized. Dimeric congeners of these dyes, (D-π-A)(2), were also synthesized through iodine-induced dimerization of an appropriate DTF-containing segment. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with the new dyes as the sensitizers have cell efficiencies that range from 2.11 to 5.24 %. In addition to better light harvesting, more effective suppression of the dark current than the D-π-A dyes is possible with the (D-π-A)(2) dyes.

ABSTRACT

A series of new push-pull phenothiazine-based dyes (HL1-HL4) featuring various π spacers (thiophene, 3-hexylthiophene, 4-hexyl-2,2'-bithiophene) and double acceptors/anchors have been synthesized, characterized, and used as sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Among them, the best conversion efficiency (7.31%) reaches approximately 99% of the N719-based (7.38%) DSSCs fabricated and measured under similar conditions. The dyes with two anchors have more efficient interfacial charge generation and transport compared with their congeners with only single anchor. Incorporation of hexyl chains into the π-conjugated spacer of these double-anchoring dyes can efficiently suppress dye aggregation and reduce charge recombination.
