摘要
Three new triphenylamine-based dyes with Y-shaped conformation bearing triphenylamino-vinyl, 10-octy1-10H-phenothiazine-vinyl and 9-octy1-9H-carbazole-vinyl as arms (TT, TP, and TC) have been synthesized. From electrochemical investigations it is found that they can be employed in DSSCs due to the balanced HOMO and LUMO energy levels. Notably, the photo-to-electrical conversion efficiency of the DSSCs sensitized with branched TT, TP, and TC reach 5.12%, 4.84%, and 3.63%, which are higher than that sensitized with T (2.79%), and the DSSC sensitized with TT shows higher IPCE response and better photovoltaic performances (J(sc)=12.37 mA/cm(,)(2) V-oc=0.72 V and ff=0.58) than others. These results reveal that the introduction of branched Y-shaped extended pi-conjugated donors to D-pi-A dyes cannot only enlarge the spectral response range, but also suppress the molecular aggregation on TiO2 films to a certain extent, which would enhance the performance of DSSCs.
