Multichromophoric di-anchoring sensitizers incorporating a ruthenium complex and an organic triphenyl amine dye for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells

Abstract

Multichromophoric dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on the dual sensitization with a metal–organic combinatorial dye comprised of a ruthenium complex and an organic triphenyl amine dyad have been constructed, which convert light into electrical energy with a higher power conversion efficiency and incident-photon-to-current efficiency than the devices made of individual inorganic and organic dyes.
