A combination of Ru complex sensitizers and Co complex redox couples for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) generally results in low power conversion efficiency. This has been suggested to be from undesired electron transfer due to strong intermolecular i

In view of the limited ruthenium resource, metal-free organic dyes may play a prominent role in the coming large-scale application of cost-effective dye-sensitized solar cells, if their efficiency and stability can be considerably improved. In this paper we utilized a binary jr-conjugated spacer of ethylenedioxythiophene and dithienosilole to construct a high molar absorption coefficient push-pull dye, characteristic of an intramolecular charge-transfer band peaking at 584 nm measured in chloroform. In comparison with the standard ruthenium sensitizer Z907, this metal-free chromophore C219 endowed a nanocrystalline titania film with an evident light-harvesting enhancement, leading to an unprecedented 10.0-10.3% efficiency at the AM1.5G conditions for dyesensitized solar cells with nonruthenium dyestuffs, although a highly volatile electrolyte was used. Transient absorption measurements have revealed that even if the kinetics of back-electron transfer and dye regeneration are considerably different for Z907 and C219, the branching ratios of these two charge-transfer channels are over 35 for both dyes, ensuring a high yield of net charge separation at the titania/dye/electrolyte interface. A solvent-free ionic liquid cell with C219 as the sensitizer exhibited an impressive efficiency of 8.9% under a low light intensity of 14.39 mW cm -2, making it very favorable for the indoor application of flexible dye-sensitized solar cells.
