High performance organic photosensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells
We report highly efficient organic photosensitizers containing π-conjugated alkoxy-substituted oligophenylenevinylene linkers with electron donor-acceptor units for dye-sensitized solar cells. TA-DM-CA showed an overall solar-to-energy conversion efficiency of 9.67% at AM 1.5 illumination (100 mW cm-2).
