Enhanced Performance of the Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells with Phenothiazine-Based Dyes Containing Double D−A Branches
摘要:
Double donor-acceptor (D-A) branched dyes (DBD) with a phenothiazine unit as electron donor and a 2-cyanoacrylic acid unit as electron acceptor were synthesized and used as sensitizers for solar cells (DSSCs). The conversion efficiency of the DSSCs amounts up to 4.22% (2.91% for the single D-A branched dye) under AM 1.5 G irradiation. The results show that the performance of DSSCs can be effectively enhanced by the cooperation of two donor-acceptor containing branches in one molecule of the dyes.

Heterocyclic compounds bearing an acidic hydrogen atom attached to nitrogen such as carbazole, indole, and phenothiazine can be efficiently alkylated in DMSO or N,N‐DMF under ultrasonic irradiation in the presence of potassium hydroxide as a base. In almost all cases, a dramatic reduction of the reaction time results and a clear yield increase accompanied by an improved quality of the products occurs
