- Two new PTZ-based organic dyes were synthesized and characterized.
- The dyes are studied by DFT and TD-DFT calculations.
- The introduction of benzil-based auxiliary donors improves the light-harvesting ability.
- The DSSCs based on WY5 and WY6 have higher Jsc than that of T0.
- The DSSC based on dye WY6 obtains the highest η of 5.52%.
Two new D-D-Ï-A phenothiazine-based metal free organic dyes (WY5, WY6) were designed, synthesized, and applied in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by introducing of benzil-based auxiliary electron donors into simple D-Ï-A phenothiazine dye to improve the related photovoltaic performances. In the WY6-based solar cell, 4,4â²-dimethoxybenzil acts as electron donor was used to improve the electron donating ability. So, the WY6-based solar cell finally obtains a better photovoltaic performance than that of WY5-based one. Furthermore, with the addition of benzil-based auxiliary donor, the absorption properties turn better, which directly results in the enhanced short-circuit photocurrent density (from 8.78 (T0) to 10.58 (WY5) and 11.50Â mAÂ cmâ2 (WY6)) and thus the enhanced power conversion efficiency (from 4.24 (T0) to 4.78 (WY5) and 5.52% (WY6)). In a word, the addition of benzil-based auxiliary electron donors effectively improved the performances of DSSCs.
