Influence of triphenylamine derivatives in efficient dye-sensitized/organic solar cells

Abstract

Dye-Sensitized/Organic solar cells (DS/O-SCs) have gradually improved their power conversion efficiency (PCE) and are now being considered for commercialization. This comprehensive review focuses on a prominent class of small organic...

Numerical simulation of a novel high performance solid‐state dye‐sensitised solar cell based on N719 dye

“…An ssDSSC represents a variation in the traditional DSSC design, wherein the liquid electrolyte is replaced with a solidstate material. The depiction of the band diagram of an ssDSSC under varying temperatures elucidates the energy dynamics among its components, including the semiconductor, sensitiser dye, and interfaces [91]. The band alignment describes how the energy levels of two materials line up when they come into contact, impacting the movement of electrons and holes across the interface, crucial for various applications, such as transistors and solar cells [92].…”

“…ssDSSCs represent a distinct variant of solar cell technology, diverging from conventional designs by employing an inorganic semiconductor material as the electron transport material, rather than the customary liquid electrolyte [91]. Within the realm of ssDSSCs, the conductance-voltage (G-V) characteristics are critical, denoting the device conductance alteration with applied voltage across various temperature conditions.…”

Electron-donating arene-substituted pentacenedione derivatives: a study of structural, electronic, and electrochemical properties

“…As for organic π-donors, numerous research efforts have been focused on the design and synthesis of triphenylamine (TPA) derivatives, since the physicochemical properties of this class of compounds can be flexibly tuned through attachment of electron-donating or electron-accepting groups. 41–44 TPA derivatives have found applications as dye sensitizers in solar cells, 45 organic semiconductors, 46,47 electroluminophores in organic light-emitting diodes, 48 and superior photosensitizer. 49 Very recently, Sau and Samanta reported the synthesis of TPA–anthraquinone-based D–A hypercrosslinked polymers via Suzuki–Miyaura cross-coupling reaction between tris(4-(4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-1,3,2-dioxaborolan-2-yl)phenyl)amine and 2,6-dibromoanthracene-9,10-dione.…”

Recent advances in the approaches for improving the photovoltaic performance of porphyrin-based DSSCs

“…In this respect, perovskite solar cells and organic solar cells have attracted considerable attention in recent years. 5–9 Compared with them, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) exhibit relatively lower PCEs under the standard sunlight condition. However, DSSCs possess the advantages of easier preparation and higher PCEs under indoor light conditions.…”
