Synthesis and Electrical Conductivity of N-(3-(Trifluoromethyl)Benzylidine)Thiosemicarbazide towards Dyes Sensitized Solar Cell

Abstract:

Organic compound containing thiosemicarbazide moiety has been successfully synthesized. The new synthesized dyes, N-(3-(Trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde)benzylidine thiosemi- carbazide (3-TFT) was characterized by spectroscopic technique namely, CHNS elemental analysis, Fourier Transform Infra-Red analysis (FT-IR), UV-Visible analysis (UV-Vis), ¹H and ¹³C Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). The thin films of this dye have been prepared using a spin coating technique and deposited on indium tin oxide (ITO) glass substrate. The main highlight was an electrical conductivity of thin films which was measured using four point probing system in a range of light intensity, 25 Wm^-2 until 200Wm^-2. The potential electrical conductivity of 3-TFT dye was found gradually increased until reached the maximum conductivity values of 0.1489 Scm^-1 at light intensity of 100 Wm^-2 in the most diluted concentration at 1x10^-5M.
