Effect of pi-spacers on the photovoltaic properties of D-pi-A based organic dyes

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Paramaguru Ganesan

Three new triphenylamine based D-pi-pi-A (TPC, TSC and TOC) dyes with different pi-spacers have been synthesized and analysed their significance on the photophysical properties and photovoltaic applications. The synthesized dyes were characterized by NMR, ...

Molecular Engineering of 2-Quinolinone Based Anchoring Groups for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Michael Graetzel, Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Aravind Kumar Chandiran, Peng Gao, Paramaguru Ganesan

Six new donor-pi spacer-acceptor (D-pi-A) organic sensitizers based on the 2-quinolinone moiety as acceptor and anchoring groups were synthesized and tested for their performance in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The systematic tuning of acceptor stre ...
