Abstract

We have designed and synthesized a novel ladder-type heteroacene dye consisting uniquely of thiophene segments as a photosensitizer for the dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The onset of the IPCE spectrum for the dye not only reaches up to 700 nm with a high IPCE (>60%) but also a solar energy-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 2.31% is achieved. Even though the efficiency is slightly lower than those of other dyes reported previously, this work opens up a new strategy to design heteroaromatic fused photosensitizers for DSSCs.
