H. Tian et al., Wide spectral photosensitization for SnO2 nanoporous electrode with soluble perylene derivatives and cyanine dyes, SYNTH METAL, 121(1-3), 2001, pp. 1557-1558
New multi-chromophoric perylene 3, 4, 9, 10- tetracarboxylic dianhydride dy
es, which have four substituents in the bay-region of the core besides N, N
'-substituents, for solar cell sensitizer have been investigated. A wide sp
ectral photoresponse on SnO2, in visible region was observed with maximum I
PCE of 24%. In addition, the wide sensitization on SnO2 by cyanine dyes alo
ne (maximum IPCE of 46%) and combination-sensitized with RuL2(SCN)(2)(maxim
um IPCE of 68%) in NIR region were also observed.
