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
Summary
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].
