• Organic dyes based on a carbazole or dendritic 3,6-diiodocarbazole were synthesized.
• Incorporation of 3,6-diiodocarbazole enhances the molar extinction coefficients.
• Introduction of dendritic donor suppresses the charge recombination with electrolyte.
• The properties of the dyes were tuned by changing the conjugation of the π-linkers.
Four organic photosensitizers incorporating a carbazole or 3,6-diiodocarbazole unit as the electron donor, a benzene/thiophene or oligothiophene moiety as the conjugated spacer, and 2-cyanoacrylic acid as the electron acceptor have been synthesized. The photovoltaic performance data are quite sensitive to the structural modification of sensitizer. The introduction of the benzene/thiophene linker benefits from lower tendency to aggregate, but disfavors the electron transport between donor and acceptor. The addition of a thiophene unit in the bridge efficiently red-shifts the absorption response, however, organic dyes have some π–π aggregation. Incorporation of 3,6-diiodocarbazole as a dendritic donor unit not only enhances the molar extinction coefficients of the absorption but also suppresses the charge recombination with electrolyte.
A novel class of organic dyes containing a carbazole or dendritic 3,6-diiodocarbazole unit has been synthesized and characterized. The electro-optical properties of these dyes can be tuned by changing the conjugation length of the π-linkers. Incorporation of 3,6-diiodocarbazole as a dendritic donor unit not only enhances the molar extinction coefficients of the absorption but also suppresses the charge recombination with electrolyte.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slide
