Three organic dyes with dendritic and 3D triphenylamine derivatives as the donor unit, benzoic acid as the acceptor unit and benzothiadiazole (BT) or difluorobenzothiadiazole (DFBT) as the second acceptor were designed and synthesized. The influences of different donors and second acceptors on the photophysical, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties of dye-sensitizers were systematically investigated. The organic dye with dendritic triphenylamine derivative as a donor unit possesses a higher molar absorption coefficient, and the organic dye with 3D triphenylamine derivative (IDTTPA) as a donor unit has a broader absorption spectrum. The dye-sensitized solar cells based on three organic dyes achieved power conversion efficiencies of 5.27%, 4.22% and 5.50%, respectively. After optimizing the battery with 1 mmol•L-1 co-adsorbent chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA), the power conversion efficiencies of the organic dyes were increased to 5.46%, 4.98% and 6.26%, respectively.
