A Push Pull Porphyrin Dimer with Multiple Electron-donating Groups for Dye-sensitized Solar Cells: Excellent Light-harvesting in Near-infrared Region

摘要

A push-pull porphyrin dimer with multiple electron donating groups has been synthesized as a sensitizer with an excellent light-harvesting ability in the near-infrared region for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The DSSC based on the sensitizer exhibited the photocurrent generation exceeding a wavelength of 900nm, together with a power conversion efficiency of 6.21% under AM 1.5 condition.
