Thiophene pentamers with a cyanoacrylic acid anchoring group at one end and 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) or 3,4-ethylenedithiathiophene (EDTT) units at the other end have been synthesized. Preliminary evaluation in DSSCs with a iodide/triiodide liquid electrolyte shows that in spite of the very close electronic properties of the two dyes, replacing EDOT by EDTT leads to a noticeable improvement of conversion efficiency under simulated solar light.
ORGANIC DYE FOR A DYE-SENSITIZED SOLAR CELL
-
Paragraph 0131; 0136, (2016/10/04)
Organic dye for a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) comprising at least one electron-acceptor unit and at least one π-conjugated unit. Said organic dye is particularly useful in a dye-sensitized photoelectric transformation element which, in its turn, can be used in a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC).
