Organic-Ruthenium(II)‎ Polypyridyl Complex Based Sensitizer for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Applications

الملخص EN

A new high molar extinction coefficient organic-ruthenium(II) polypyridyl complex sensitizer (RD-Cou) that contains 2,2′,6,6′-tetramethyl-9-thiophene-2-yl-2,3,5,6,6a,11c-hexahydro1H,4H-11oxa-3a-aza-benzoanthracene-10-one as extended π-conjugation of ancillary bipyridine ligand, 4,4′-dicaboxy-2,2′6′,2′′-bipyridine, and a thiocyanate ligand in its molecular structure has been synthesized and completely characterized by CHN, Mass, 1H-NMR, UV-Vis, and fluorescence spectroscopies as well as cyclic voltammetry.

The new sensitizer was tested in dye-sensitized solar cells using a durable redox electrolyte and compared its performance to that of standard sensitizer Z-907.
