Abstract: | Organic dyes with the oligohexylthiophene linkage having several donor parts, carbazole, indole, and indoline, were newly synthesized as sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells. The carbazole was most efficient donor moiety for DSSCs among these dyes with the oligothiophene linkage. Carbazole dyes were adsorbed with larger amount of molecules on the TiO2 film than both indole dyes and indoline dyes. Therefore, both the VOC and the electron lifetime of DSSCs with the carbazole dyes were highly observed. The decreasing of JSC of DSSCs with indole and indoline dyes also caused by the reducing the adsorption amount of dyes. |
