Abstract

The synthesis and characterization of two simple Ruthenium(II) complexes of the type [Ru(X^N)2(4,4′-dicarboxybipyridine)]+ (with XC, X^Nbenzoquinolinate, 1; with XN, X^N2-pyridyl tetrazolate, 2) and the exploitation of a new carbon doped anatase TiO2 paste in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) photoanode are described. In particular, glucose (C6H12O6) is used as a new chemical eco-friendly C-dopant during the doping process of anatase TiO2 nanoparticles. The proper combination of Ru(II) sensitizers and C-doped titania can afford efficient DSSC photoanodes. All the relevant photovoltaic parameters have been determined.
