Photoexcitation Processes in Oligomethine Cyanine Dyes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells—Synthesis and Computational Study
We report density functional theory (DFT) calculations of three newly synthesized oligomethine cyanine-based dyes as potential TiO<sub>2</sub>-sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells. The three dyes have π-symmetry and the same acceptor side, terminating in the carboxylic anchor, but t...
