Abstract
Recently, enormous research passion has been devoted to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of porphyrin sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), but the major stumbling block is the absorption defect in the visible-light region. To address this challenge, high-performance DSSCs are reported based on a new donor-π-acceptor sensitizer FW-1, 7H-dibenzo[c,g]carbazole-substituted and fused zinc porphyrin, co-sensitized with a benzotriazole-containing dye (WS-5) in iodine and cobalt redox systems, and high PCEs of 10.21 and 10.42 %, respectively, were obtained. An unprecedented breakthrough was obtained by making one sensitizer suitable for several electrolyte systems because of its appropriate molecular orbitals and co-sensitizer.
