Abstract
Three novel triarylamine dyes (AFL1–AFL3) containing fluorenyl and the biphenyl moieties have been designed and synthesized for application in dye-sensitized solar cells. The light-harvesting capabilities and photovoltaic performance of these dyes were investigated systematically through comparison of different π-bridges. The dye with a furan linker exhibited a higher open-circuit voltage (VOC) and monochromatic incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) compared to thiophene and benzene linker. Thus, AFL3 containing a furan linker exhibited the maximum overall conversion efficiency of 5.81% (VOC=760mV,JSC=11.36mAcm−2 and ff=0.68) under standard global AM 1.5 G solar condition.
