Efficient electron transfer and sensitizer regeneration in stable pi-extended tetrathiafulvalene-sensitized solar cells.

The development of metal-free organic sensitizers is a key issue in dye-sensitized solar cell research. We report successful photovoltaic conversion with a new class of stable tetrathiafulvalene derivatives, showing surprising electrochemical and kinetic properties. With time-resolved spectroscopy w...
