They were applied in nanocrystalline TiO2 solar cells (DSSCs). It is found that the introduction of diphenylamine units as antennas in the as-synthesized dyes could improve photo- voltaic performance compared with phenothiazine and carbazole units as antennas in DSSCs. The dye with (2H-tetrazol-5-yl) acrylonitrile electron acceptor also displayed the highest solar-to-electrical energy conver- sion efficiency.展开更多
