Effect of thiophene rings rigidity on dye-sensitized solar cell performance. Dithienothiophene versus terthiophene as π− donor moiety

Solar cells are fabricated based on two new dyes. Dye acts as an additive to thin layer interface. The effect of the π-conjugated rigidity of the thiophene rings on the photovoltaic characteristics has been investigated. The structures of the dye 1 was based on dithieno [3,2-b:2′,3′-d] thiophene-2-c...
