A new bipyridyl Ru(ii) sensitizer incorporating triphenylamine and the 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) ancillary ligand IMA5 was synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The performance of these DSSCs has been enhanced via di-anchoring metal-free organic sensitizers, denoted IMA1-4, with structural motif A-π-D-π-A and incorporating phenyl-dibenzothiophene-phenyl (Ph-DBT-Ph) as the main building block but with different anchoring groups (A). These new organic sensitizers were well-characterized and used as efficient co-sensitizers. Their photophysical, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties were studied. Furthermore, molecular modeling studies using DFT calculations were used to investigate their suitability as effective sensitizers/co-sensitizers. The molecular orbital isodensity showed distinguishable delocalization of the intramolecular charge in the DBT moiety. The photovoltaic characterization showed that IMA3 had the best DSSC performance (η = 2.41%). In addition, IMA1-4 was co-sensitized in conjunction with the newly synthesized IMA5 complex to enhance light harvesting across expanded spectral regions and thus improve efficiency. The solar cells co-sensitized with IMA2, IMA3 and IMA4 exhibited improved efficiency (η) of 6.25, 6.19 and 5.83%, respectively, which outperformed the device employing IMA5 alone (η = 5.54%) owing to the improvement in the loading of IMA2, IMA3 and IMA4 in the presence of IMA5 on the surface of the TiO2 nanoparticles, and charge recombination was suppressed.

Chiral binaphthyl enantiomers (Guest 1) were doped into commercial nematic liquid crystals (N-LCs, Host E7) to form chiral nematic liquid crystals (N?-LCs). The new ternary AIE-N?-LCs prepared by introducing four achiral AIE dyes (Guest 2) into N?-LCs can

The invention discloses a poly(triphenylamine-fluorene) dye and its application. The poly(triphenylamine-fluorene) dye is prepared through a Stille coupling reaction of a monomer having a triphenylamine structure and a monomer having a fluorene structure. The prepared poly(triphenylamine-fluorene) dye has a triphenylamine and fluorene composite donor unit structure, and can be applied in the production of dye-sensitized solar cells in order to obtain dye-sensitized solar cells with high current density and high photoelectric conversion rate.
