Seven unsymmetrical heptamethine dyes with carboxylic acid functionality were synthesized and characterized. These near-infrared dyes exhibit outstanding photophysical properties depending on their heterocyclic moieties and molecular structure. As proof of principle, the dyes were used as photosensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells. Using the most promising dye, an overall conversion efficiency of 1.22% and an almost colorless solar cell were achieved.

The efficiency of electron injection (inj) in dye-sensitized nanocrystalline films has been studied by means of transient absorption spectroscopy. We observed inj of nearly unity for N3 dye adsorbed on nanocrystalline TiO2 films (N3/TiO2). We examined the effects of various experimental conditions, such as light intensity, excitation wavelength, and presence of additives (4-tert- butylpyridine, tBP and Li ions), on inj. We also used various semiconductors and sensitizer dyes to study the effect of free energy change (G) on inj. These results give us new insights for developing high-performance solar cell devices.
