中文摘要 新型蒽橋接有機染料 CXC12 CXC22 是針對於弱光下使用的高效染料敏化太陽能電池 (DSSC) 設計而合成的,與其結構相似的染料 TY6 相比,CXC 染料具有額外的蒽-乙炔基團以擴展分子的 π 共軛系統,從而導致紅移吸收和增強的摩爾消光係數。 CXC12 CXC22 AM 1.5G 太陽光和 T5 熒光下的吸收光譜分別在 561 487 nm 處達到最大值,比 TY6419 nm)更好。最初期望在 CXC12 中橋接蒽基的 2,6 位引入長烷氧基鏈將延緩電荷重組和染料分子堆疊的現象,並達到更高的開路電壓 (VOC)。然而,與 CXC22 TY6 相比,CXC12 分子在光電陽極上的吸附量急劇下降到不到一半,從而導致短路電流 (JSC) 降低,從而降低了光電轉換效率(PCE%)。在這三種蒽基染料中,CXC22的分子結構具有最適合的吸收光譜特性,並在染料吸附和分子堆疊之間取得平衡,在弱光下的光電轉換效率表現高達37.07%。這項工作顯示了具有蒽橋接之有機染料在室內光伏應用中的潛力。
 
英文摘要 New anthracene-bridged organic dyes CXC12 and CXC22 are designed and synthesized for high-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) under dim light. Compared to their parent dye TY6, CXC dyes have additional anthracene-acetylene group to extend the π-conjugation of the molecules, resulting in red-shifted absorption and an enhanced molar extinction coefficient. The absorption spectra of CXC12 and CXC22 with a maximum located at 561 and 487 nm, respectively, match to those of AM 1.5G sunlight and T5 fluorescent light better than that of TY6 (419 nm). It was initially anticipated that long alkoxyl chains introduced to the 2,6-position of the bridged anthracenyl in CXC12 will retard charge recombination and dye molecular aggregation, and achieve a higher device open-circuit voltage. However, adsorption of CXC12 molecules on the photoanode dramatically decrease to less than half as compared to that of CXC22 and TY6, resulting in lower short-circuit current and thus power conversion efficiency. Among these three anthracene-based dyes, CXC22 has the most appropriate molecular structure for light harvesting and striking the balance between dye loading and molecular aggregation, to exhibit a remarkable power conversion efficiency as high as 37.07% under dim-light. Therefore, this work shows the potential of anthracene-bridged organic dyes for indoor photovoltaic applications.
