3,7-Bis[4-(diphenylamino)phenyl]-5 H-dibenzo[ a,d][7]annulen-5-one, containing triphenylamine- and dibenzosuberenone-based donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) conjugated moieties, is synthesized in high yield by Suzuki coupling of 5 H-dibenzo[ a,d][7]annulen-5-one with [4-(diphenylamino)phenyl]boronic acid. The most important part of the present study is the creation of a dye-sensitized solar cell structure using the synthesized organic molecule for the first time and the power conversion efficiency of this structure. Three solar cell devices are prepared and are named as first device, second device, and third device. The power conversion efficiency (%) value for first device, second device, and third device is calculated as 2.54, 2.38, and 2.54, respectively. Moreover, the chemical structure of the synthesized compound is determined by nuclear magnetic resonance, infrared, ultraviolet visible, fluorescence spectroscopy, and high-resolution mass spectrometry.

The effect of temperature on the photovoltaic properties of indium/metal-free phthalocyanine Schottky barrier solar cells was investigated in the range 260–350 K. In general, the short circuit photocurrent, Jsc, and fill factor, ff, increased with increasing temperature (in contrast to inorganic photocells). The device series resistance and open circuit photovoltage, Voc, decreased (similar to inorganic photocells) as temperature was raised. An increase in the overall power conversion efficiency, η, has been observed with increase of temperature. In the case of x-H2Pc, the power conversion efficiency increased by 2.5 times due to a temperature rise of 60 °C above ambient. Thus, for operation at temperatures above ambient, organic solar cells may offer a significant advantage over inorganic cells.Analysis of the variation of the photovoltage with temperature showed that the decrease in Voc is mainly due to variation injunction impedance, which is controlled by thermionic current at high temperature and ionized impurity at low temperature.
