Insight into D–A−π–A Structured Sensitizers: A Promising Route to Highly Efficient and Stable Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells
Open accessAbstract
The dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) is one of the most promising photovoltaic technologies with potential of low cost, light weight, and good flexibility. The practical application of DSSCs requires further improvement in power conversion efficiency and long-term stability. Recently, significant progress has been witnessed in DSSC research owing to the novel concept of the D-A-π-A motif for the molecular engineering of organic photosensitizers. New organic and porphyrin dyes based on the D-A-π-A motif can not only enhance photovoltaic performance, but also improve durability in DSSC applications. This Spotlight on Applications highlights recent advances in the D-A-π-A-based photosensitizers, specifically focusing on the mechanism of efficiency and stability enhancements. Also, we find insight into the additional acceptor as well as the trade-off of long wavelength response. The basic principles are involved in molecular engineering of efficient D-A-π-A sensitizers, providing a clear road map showing how to modulate the energy bands, rationally extending the response wavelength, and optimizing photovoltaic efficiency step by step.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
