Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Ethynyl-linked porphyrin hetero-dimers substituted by a series of electron donors, namely, bis(4-methoxyphenyl)amino (), bis(4-tert-butylphenyl)amino () and 3,6-di-tert-butylcarbazol-9-yl () as well as a reference dimer with a non-donor moiety (3,5-di-tert-butylphenyl, ) have been synthesized to systematically investigate the influence of donor introduction on the photovoltaic performances of near-IR dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) with these sensitizers incorporated. Despite the expected bathochromic shift and intensification of long-wavelength absorption bands as well as elevated LUMO levels and thus increased electron injection driving forces, the substitution of diphenylamino groups ( and ) with stronger electron-donating abilities gave rise to surprising mediocrity in the short-circuit photocurrent densities (J(sc)), leading to overall energy conversion efficiencies in the order (3.94%) < (4.57%) < (4.83%) < (5.21%). A study of the in situ fluorescent behavior of these sensitizers revealed that for all the sensitizers, excited-state lifetimes were significantly shortened in the simulated DSC environment compared to those in a free solution. showed the shortest intrinsic in situ lifetime while showed the longest one. These results were correlated with the photovoltaic performances, which is required for a better understanding and further design of porphyrin array sensitizers. |
