“…The wavelength of maximum absorption (λ max ) for synthesized dyes are higher than thiophen-based dyes for example, HY1-HY2 (426-440 nm) [16] due to the presence of carbonyl groups in the structure of the thioindigo organic dyes. Upon dye adsorption on to a TiO 2 surface, the wavelength of maximum absorption is bathochromically shifted by 20 and 24.5 for D1 and D2, respectively as compared to the corresponding spectra in solution, implying that dyes adsorbed on the TiO 2 photoelectrode surface contain partial J-type aggregates [17][18][19]. The molar extinction coefficients of D1 and D2 in THF at their respective λ max are also shown in Table 1, indicating that these novel dyes have good light harvesting abilities.…”

“…The presence of two carboxyl groups is expected to strengthen the binding of the photosensitizers to titania, possibly resulting in the enhancement of electron transfer and cell performance, as shown in the literature [30][31][32][33]. The synthesized chromophores have been characterized by optical and electrochemical measurements; their electronic structure has been analysed by Density Functional Theory (DFT) and their efficiencies in DSSC tested under simulated sun radiation.…”

“…The π-bridge plays an important role in tuning the main photochemical properties [19][20][21][22][23] of the sensitizer and it is commonly used with the aim to expand the solar cell absorption spectrum to the red region of the sun light. The use of thiophene-based π-bridge also affords chemical stability to the final dye.…”
We have synthesized lower rim 1,3-derivatives of 4-tert-butylcalix[4]arene-appended dyes in order to test their physical and photovoltaic properties. These dyes consist in a donor group based on triphenylamine and/or 4H-pyranylidene moieties, a heteroaromatic π-conjugated spacer such a thiophene ring and an acceptor group like cyanoacetic acid. The molar extinction coefficient of these systems increases with the introduction of the second dye in the same molecule and it is observed an extended band along the visible spectrum. The use of calix[4]arene platform with other dyes could lead to a new strategy to the achievement of novel panchromatic dyes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
