2,7-Diaminofluorene-Based Organic Dyes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: Effect of Auxiliary Donor on Optical and Electrochemical Properties
摘要:
New organic dyes containing a diarylaminofluorene unit as an electron donor and cyanoacrylic acid as acceptor and anchoring group in a donor-pi-donor-pi-acceptor architecture have been synthesized and characterized as sensitizers for nanocrystalline TiO2-based dye-sensitized solar cells. They have shown three major electronic absorptions originating from the pi-pi* and charge-transfer transitions covering the broad visible range (250-550 nm) in solution. The charge-transfer transition of the dyes exhibited negative solvatochromism, suggesting a polarized ground state. They have also displayed acidochromism in solution owing to the presence of a protonation-deprotonation equilibrium. On comparison with the triphenylamine and carbazole-based parent dyes (E)-2-cyano-3-(4-(diphenylamino)phenyl)acrylic acid and (E)-2-cyano-3-(9-ethyl-9H-carbazol-3-yl)acrylic acid they exhibited longer wavelength absorptions and facile oxidation, indicating the stronger electron-donating ability of the auxiliary chromophores. In addition, they exhibited nearly two times larger light-to-electron conversion efficiency under simulated AM 1.5 G irradiation (100 mW cm(-2)) with an aperture mask when compared to the parent dyes. Among the new dyes, the one containing the naphthylphenylamine segment showed better device characteristics attributable to the higher HOMO energy level which probably facilitates the regeneration of the dye and effective suppression of the back reaction of the injected electrons with the I-3(-) in the electrolyte. The optical properties of the dyes were modeled using TDDFT simulations employing different theoretical models (B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, and MPW1K), and the best correlations with the observed parameters have been found for CAM-B3LYP and MPW1K calculations. The electron lifetimes extracted from the electrochemical impedance measurements of the dye-sensitized solar cells were used to interpret the solar cell efficiency alternations.
