Abstract

In this paper, we present the design and synthesis of three organic dyes specially developed for the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells with potential application in greenhouses cladding.

Highlights

  • The efficient utilization of renewable energy sources is a major scienti c challenge and probably the only option available to our society to meet the ever increasing global energy demand and simultaneously reduce CO2 emissions and global warming.[1]

  • To the best of the authors' knowledge, the ECE values obtained here are the highest reported for dyes especially developed towards greenhouse application,[7,31,32,33,64] and compare well with those of the best sensitizers employed in semitransparent dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs),[65,66,67] considering that the latter were not designed to comply with the same stringent spectral requirements

  • We presented the synthesis and characterization of three new D–A–p–A organic sensitizers, specially designed to build semitransparent DSSCs with potential application in agrivoltaics
