Application

A ruthenium sensitizer with high molar extinction coefficient for high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells
Along with an acetonitrile-based electrolyte; the C101 sensitizer achieved a high efficeincy of 11.0-11.3% in the dye-sensitized solar cells under the illumination of AM 1.5G full sunlight.
C101 Dye can be used as a sensitizer for the fabrication of dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10−11%.

General description

C101 Dye is ruthenium (Ru) based organic dye that can be used as a heteroleptic thiophene-based sensitizer. It has a high extinction coefficient of 17500 Lmol-1cm-1 and facilitates the enhancement of optoelectronic properties of electrochemical devices.

Understanding and Successfully Applying Materials for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

While dye sensitization as the basis for color photography has been accepted for a very long time,1 attempts to use this principle for the conversion of solar light to electricity generally had resulted only in very low photocurrents, below 100 nA/cm

Ruthenium-based dyes for Dye-sensitized Solar Cells

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) are 3rd generation solar cells combining the promise of high efficiency with low production costs.
