We have developed 4-(bis(9,9-dimethyl-9H-flouren-2-yl)amino)benzoic acid (HC-Acid) to use as an alternative co-adsorbent to deoxycholic acid (DCA) in organic dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). It has dual functioned effects, that is, the prevention effect of the π–π stacking of organic dye molecules like DCA and the light harvesting effect at shorter-wavelength regions. When the HC-Acid was used as the co-adsorbent onto the TiO2 surface with the organic dye NKX2677 sensitized solar cell, an extremely high conversion efficiency of 9.09% was achieved under 100 mW cm−2 AM 1.5G simulated light (Jsc = 18.01 mA cm−2, Voc = 0.663 V, and FF = 76.16). As we herein demonstrate, an increase in short-circuit photocurrent density (Jsc) of 20%, open-circuit photovoltage (Voc) of 11% and overall conversion efficiency (η) of 38% occurred in comparison to the NKX2677 based solar cell. As a consequence, this new class of a low molecular weight organic co-adsorbent (HC-Acid) is a promising candidate as an alternative co-adsorbent with a new function not seen in DCA or CA derivatives for highly efficient dye-sensitized solar cells.
我们开发了 4-(双(9,9-二甲基-9H-氟烯-2-基)氨基)苯甲酸(HC-Acid),可用作有机染料敏化太阳能电池(DSSC)中脱氧胆酸(DCA)的替代共吸附剂。它具有双重功效,即防止有机染料分子(如 DCA)的 π-π 堆叠效应和在较短波长区域的光收集效应。将 HC-Acid 用作有机染料 NKX2677 感光太阳能电池 TiO2 表面的共吸附剂时,在 100 mW cm-2 AM 1.5G 模拟光(Jsc = 18.01 mA cm-2、Voc = 0.663 V 和 FF = 76.16)条件下实现了 9.09% 的极高转换效率。正如我们在此所展示的,与基于 NKX2677 的太阳能电池相比,短路光电流密度 (Jsc) 增加了 20%,开路光电电压 (Voc) 增加了 11%,整体转换效率 (η) 增加了 38%。因此,这种新型低分子量有机共吸附剂(HC-Acid)有望成为高效染料敏化太阳能电池的替代共吸附剂,并具有 DCA 或 CA 衍生物所不具备的新功能。
