Assessment of new gem-silanediols as suitable sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells
摘要:
Four novel gem-silanediol-containing organic dyes featuring a highly conjugated backbone have been synthesized in order to investigate their potential as active materials for photovoltaics. After spectroscopic characterization, the compounds showing the best light harvesting and electrochemical properties were applied as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Interestingly, photovoltaic cells built using the new silanediol dyes showed low power conversion efficiencies (eta), comparable to those obtained with silicon-based sensitizers having simple azobenzene moieties as the light-harvesting units. Such values are mostly due to unsatisfactory photocurrent densities; a computational study suggested that the latter can be justified considering the insufficient degree of charge transfer taking place during photoexcitation of the silicon-containing sensitizers, which is likely to make electron injection into the TiO2 layer less efficient.

The synthesis, structure, and fluorescence properties of a series of new donor-pi-acceptor (D-pi-A) type compounds, with a trivalent boron, protected by two mesityl groups, as acceptor, and with various typical donors and different pi-conjugated bridges, are reported. All these stable organoboron compounds show intense single-photon excited fluorescence (SPEF) and two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF)
of tetrahydroquinolinyl chromophore is 65% and 110% larger than that of either the diethylaminophenyl or triarylaminophenyl chromophores, respectively. The doped film containing the tetrahydroquinolinyl chromophore showed an r33 value of 126 pm/V at the concentration of 25 wt% which is much higher than the electro-optic activity of the diethylaminophenyl derived chromophore (39 pm/V) and six times

A novel and efficient polyene-diphenylaniline dye for dye-sensitized solar cells has been synthesized. The dye has a short synthesis route and is readily adsorbed on TiO2 under a variety of dye-bath conditions. The overall solar-to-energy conversion efficiency is over 5% in the preliminary tests, in comparison with the conventional N719 dye which gives 6% under the same conditions. The dye is designed for future use also in solid state devices, with triarylamine based hole conductors.
