The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

A prototype bay-annulated indigo dye has been synthesised and applied in p-type dye-sensitized solar cells. The dye produced a broad spectral response up to 700 nm and an encouraging photocurrent (Jsc = 1.13 mA cm–2, IPCE of 6.8%) was recorded. These results have highlighted several challenges for integrating BAI dyes into pDSCs, including, low dye loading, a tendency to aggregate and lack of built-in charge transfer character, which can be overcome by simple modifications to the dye structure.
