Pyranylidene/trifluoromethylbenzoic acid-based chromophores for dye-sensitized solar cells

The synthesis and photovoltaic study of five dyes based on 4H-pyranylidene moiety as donor moiety is reported. A thiophene unit conjugated with/without an ethynyl bond acts as the π-relay and benzoic acid as the anchor group with/without a trifluoromethyl group. Their electrochemical and optical pro...

Descrição
Resumo:The synthesis and photovoltaic study of five dyes based on 4H-pyranylidene moiety as donor moiety is reported. A thiophene unit conjugated with/without an ethynyl bond acts as the π-relay and benzoic acid as the anchor group with/without a trifluoromethyl group. Their electrochemical and optical properties are analyzed by using a joint experimental and theoretical approach. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group leads to an enhancement of the molar extinction coefficient, being slightly when a hexyl chain is introduced in the thiophene ring, but does not modify the oxidation potential.
