A series of metal-free organic dyes that were bridged by a diketopyrrolopyrrole moiety and were composed of indoline and triphenylamine as donor groups and furan and benzene as conjugated spacer groups were designed and synthesized for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). The photophysical properties, electrochemical properties, and performance of the DSCs were related to the structure of their corresponding dyes. Their absorption spectra broadened upon the introduction of the indoline and heterocyclic furan moieties through fine-tuning of their molecular configuration. The overall conversion efficiencies of DSCs that were based on these dyes ranged from 5.14-6.53 %. Among the four dyes that were tested, indoline-based ID01 and ID02 showed higher efficiencies (6.35 % and 6.53 %) as a result of their improved light-harvesting efficiency and larger electron driving force. The ID01 dye, which contained an indoline moiety as an electron donor and a furan group as a π-conjugated linker, showed an excellent monochromatic incident-photon-to-current-conversion efficiency (IPCE) spectrum (350-650 nm) with a maximum value of 78 % in the high plateau region and an onset value close to 800 nm. Intensity-modulated photovoltage spectroscopy (IMVS) and impedance spectroscopy (IS) revealed that dyes that contained benzene conjugation spacers suppressed the charge-recombination rate more efficiently than dyes that contained furan spacers, thereby resulting in improved photovoltage. |
