Design, synthesis, and performance evaluation of TiO2-dye sensitized solar cells using 2,2′-bithiophene-based co-sensitizers

Abstract We report on the synthesis and characterization of six novel 2,2′-bithiophene-based organic compounds (3a–c and 5a–c) that are designed to serve as co-sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on TiO2. The compounds are linked to various donor and acceptor groups, and we conf...
