Unraveling the Dual Character of Sulfur Atoms on Sensitizers in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Mohammad Khaja Nazeeruddin, Jacques-Edouard Moser, Peng Gao, Thomas Moehl, Joël Teuscher, Aswani Yella, Sadig Aghazada

Cyclometalated ruthenium sensitizers have been synthesized that differ with number of thiophene units on the auxiliary ligands. Sensitizers possessing four (SA25, SA246, and SA285) or none (SA282) sulfur atoms in their structures, were tested in solar cell ...
