D–A–π–A organic dyes with tailored green light absorption for potential application in greenhouse-integrated dye-sensitized solar cells

Abstract

In this paper, we present the design and synthesis of three organic dyes specially developed for the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells with potential application in greenhouses cladding.

UV-selective organic absorbers for the cosensitization of greenhouse-integrated dye-sensitized solar cells: synthesis and computational study

“…Concerning the possibility of excitation energy transfer between the synthesized diimide UV-dyes and BTD–DTP1 green light-absorbing cosensitizer, through the analysis of both UV-Vis absorption and emission spectra for DI-CA1 and BTD–DTP1, a considerable overlap between the fluorescence spectrum of DI-CA1 (474 nm, Table 3 ) and the absorption spectrum of BTD–DTP1 (532 nm) 13 can be clearly observed. In particular, the molar extinction coefficient of BTD–DTP1 is quite high ( ca.…”

“… 12 Dessì et al recently reported the fabrication of greenhouse-integrated DSC systems utilizing three organic dyes, which are intensely absorb only the green light of the visible spectrum, whilst maintaining good transmittance in the red and blue regions as the two photosynthetically active regions. 13 One of these dyes is the BTD–DTP1 dye, which is based on the benzothiadiazole (BTD)–dithienopyrrole (DTP) scaffold. It provided an energy conversion efficiency up to 8.18% and 8.77% in THF and chlorobenzene solvents, respectively.…”

2D MXene: A Potential Candidate for Photovoltaic Cells? A Critical Review

“…[ 4 , 5 , 6 ] Among these resources, because of the abundance, cost‐effectiveness, and environmental friendliness of sunlight, and the fact that it provides an endless supply of power, photovoltaic (PV) technology has become a major energy provider. [ 7 , 8 , 9 , 10 , 11 , 12 ] In this regard, significant attention has been devoted to the development of novel nanostructured materials to improve PV performance and reduce the cost of power generation. Emerging materials, including 2D nanomaterials, organic polymers, and oxides, have been widely used in the energy conversion processes for PV technologies.…”

Insights into end‐capped modifications effect on the photovoltaic and optoelectronic properties of S‐shaped fullerene‐free acceptor molecules: A density functional theory computational study for organic solar cells

“…[ 9–12 ] This makes a perfect A–D–A symmetry and this allows a perfect transportation of charges from one end to other end with low voltage loss. [ 13–16 ] The presence of out of plane rings on the backbone offered certain delights for PSCs such as low aggregation in the blend film or active layer and high solubility in the solvent. [ 17–23 ]…”
