Abstract: Abstract A series of novel semi-squaraine sensitizers with various architectures and anchors have been synthesized and utilized in dye-sensitized solar cells. These dyes combine indole- or carboline-based electron rich units with strongly electron-withdrawing cyanoacetate moieties… read more here.

DOI: 10.1039/c8tc03781g
Abstract: Squaraines have been demonstrated as one class of effective low-bandgap donor materials in bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells (BHJ-OSCs). However, they often suffer from low hole mobility, thereby limiting their photovoltaic performance. Herein, we designed and… read more here.
