Synthesis and Application of Novel β D-π-A Porphyrin Dyes in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

Article Preview

Abstract:

Two β D-π-A porphyrin dyes have been synthesized and applied as photosensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells. A maximum solar conversion efficiency of 2.2% has been achieved for dye 2-(N, N-diphenylaminophenylacetynyl)-12(13)-(4-carboxylphenylacetynyl)-5, 10, 15, 20-tetra (4-tert butylphenyl)porphyrin zinc.
