Effects of anchoring and spacer groups of asymmetric zinc phthalocyanines on the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells

Abstract

In this study, we aim to change the number of anchoring groups and their spacers to zinc(ii) phthalocyanine (ZnPc) rings to improve the performance of ZnPcs used as photosensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).
