New sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells featuring a carbon-bridged phenylenevinylene

Michael Graetzel, Anne-Sophie Chauvin, Aswani Yella

We demonstrate that a carbon-bridged phenylenevinylene (CPV)-linked dye serves as a novel and efficient sensitizer for dye-sensitized solar cells. The cells show IPCE values of greater than 90%, PCEs of up to 7.12%, and high open circuit voltages reaching ...
