Abstract
Abstract. Cis-di(thiocyanato)-bis(4,4'-dicarboxy-2,2'-bipyridine) ruthenium(II) (N3) has been used as the standard complex in the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). This research studies the N3s which are commercial (N3-1) and synthesized (N3-2 to N3-5) in DSSC as the dyes sensitizer. We found that the varied power efficiencies were observed from 4.54 to 5.92%. The TGA and FT-IR techniques were employed to measure the small molecules that cannot identify by NMR spectra. The results clearly seen that the N3s have a different content in water and methanol residuals which affect the N3s solubility leading to the varied performance in DSSCs.
