Two new ruthenium(II) mixed ligand terpyridine complexes, “Ru(Htcterpy)(NCS)(L1) (N(C4H9)4), mLBD1” and Ru(Htcterpy)(NCS)(L2)(N(C4H9)4), mLBD2 were synthesized and fully characterized by UV-Vis, emission, cyclic voltammogram, and other spectroscopic means, and the structures of the compounds are confirmed by 1H-NMR, ESI-MASS, and FT-IR spectroscopes. The influence of the substitution of L1 and L2 on solar-to-electrical energy conversion efficiency (η) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) was evaluated relative to reference black dye. The dyes showed molar extinction coefficients of 17600 M−1 cm−1 for mLBD1 and 21300 M−1 cm−1 for mLBD2 both at λ maximum of 512 nm, while black dye has shown 8660 M−1 cm−1 at λ maximum of 615 nm. The monochromatic incident photon-to-collected electron conversion efficiencies of 60.71% and 75.89% were obtained for mLBD1 and mLBD2 dyes, respectively. The energy conversion efficiencies of mLBD1 and mLBD2 dyes are 3.15% ( mA/cm2,  mV, ) and 3.36% ( mA/cm2,  mV, ), respectively, measured at the AM1.5G conditions, the reference black dye-sensitized solar cell, fabricated and evaluated under identical conditions exhibited η-value of 2.69% ( mA/cm2,  mV, ).

Two unsymmetrical Zn (II) phthalocyanines 1 and 2 bearing an anchoring carboxylic function linked to the phthalocyanine ring through different rigid arylenevinylene bridges have been designed for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications. The phthalocyanines 1 and 2, when anchored onto nanocrystalline TiO 2 films, yielded 30% incident monochromatic photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) and 2% power conversion efficiencies under AM1.5 sun.

Two sets of structurally analogous Co(iii/ii)-based redox mediators were incorporated in the dye-sensitized solar cells and a linear correlation was demonstrated between redox potential and photovoltage.

In this work, several liquid electrolytes (LE) have been prepared. The electrolytes contain tetrapropylammonium iodide (TPAI) salt with different salt content, propylene carbonate (PC), ethylene carbonate (EC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), dimethylformamide (DMF) and (I-/I3-) redox couple LE was used in the Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell (DSSC). DSSCs were fabricated and current density-voltage (J-V) characteristics measured. The highest incident photon conversion efficiency (IPCE) at 520 nm is 45.5% for DSSC with 0.25 g TPAI LE. At AM 1.5, DSSC with LE exhibits efficiency of 6.61% with Jsc= 18.69 mA cm-2, Voc= 0.68V and fill factor (FF) = 0.52.
