New metal-free organic sensitizers containing a benzo[d]thiazole or phenyl unit as the π-conjugated system, a triphenylamine as an electron donor, and a cyanoacrylic acid moiety as an electron acceptor were synthesized and used for dye-sensitized solar cells. Photophysical and electrochemical properties of these dyes were investigated, and their performances as sensitizers in solar cells were measured. The introduction of a benzo[d]thiazole unit into the molecular structure resulted in a high incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (more than 70%) from 340 nm to 600 nm. One solar cell containing a benzo[d]thiazole unit, produced a η of 5.85% (JSC = 10.63 mA cm-2, VOC = 0.72 V, and ff = 0.77) under 100 mW cm -2 simulated AM 1.5 G solar irradiation.
Triaryl linked donor acceptor dyads for high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells

experimental part, p. 9626 - 9632 (2009/12/28)
The effect of changing substituents of organic dyes for their performance on dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) is examined. These dyes consist of an aromatic amine donor group, a cyanoacrylic acid acceptor group, and a triaryl spacer group, while they ar
