Abstract:The aggregation of sensitizer molecules on the surface of photoanode is a serious issue that can affect the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells. Prevention of dye agglomeration, therefore, is critical. Traditional methods of aggregation control are either synthetically challenging or technologically difficult and expensive. In this article, the use of bis(4-pyridyl)alkanes to control porphyrin dye aggregation is presented. Three bis(4-pyridyl)alkanes – bis(4-pyridyl)butane L4, bis(4-pyridyl)… Show more
