Three new dipolar organic dyes of the type D-D-π-A were constructed on fluorenothiophene backbone by varying the terminal donor auxiliary such as -NMe2, -NEt2 and -NPh2. The effect of such structural variation on the photophysical and electrochemical properties has been investigated. Computational studies obtained from DFT/TD-DFT calculations were found to be in good correlation with the experimental optoelectronic results. TiO2 based n-type quasi-solid state DSSCs constructed on the synthesized dyes revealed a gradual increase in photovoltaic performance with increase in donor size. The trend in power conversion efficiency (η) was found to be -NPh2 (4.10%) > -NEt2 (3.44%) > -NMe2 (2.57%). Electrochemical impedence analysis also confirmed the longer electron life time for dye possessing bulky -NPh2 groups in comparision to -NEt2 and -NMe2 groups, thus demonstrating the impact of increased donor size on the DSSC performance. Overall, this paper validates the impact of donor size on the DSSC performance and could inspire the selection of appropriate auxiliary donors to enhance the efficiency in futuristic endeavors.
