研究目的
Investigating the effect of fluorine substituents on benzothiadiazole-based photosensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells to enhance power conversion efficiency.
研究成果
The research demonstrated that the conjugation effect of fluorine atoms can impair the electron-withdrawing ability of the additional acceptor, resulting in a broader band gap and narrower UV-vis absorption spectrum. This led to lower photovoltaic performance for LS102-based DSSCs compared to LS101. The study highlights the importance of matching molecular properties with solar cell requirements for improved efficiency.
研究不足
The study found that the introduction of fluorine atoms did not always enhance the electron-withdrawing ability of the additional acceptor due to the dominant conjugation effect, leading to a blue-shifted UV-vis absorption spectrum and lower PCE for LS102-based DSSCs.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of two organic dyes (LS101 and LS102) with different additional acceptors (BT and DFBT) and their application in DSSCs. The photovoltaic properties were evaluated under standard AM1.5G solar irradiation.
2:5G solar irradiation. Sample Selection and Data Sources:
2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: The dyes were synthesized with TAT as the electron donor, thiophene as the π-spacer, benzoic acid as the anchor group, and BT or DFBT as the additional acceptor.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
FTO glass plates, TiO2 paste, TPP200, UV–O3 cleaner, TiCl4 aqueous solution, CH2Cl2, Co(bpy)3(TFSI)2, Co(bpy)3(TFSI)3, TFSILi, TBP, acetonitrile.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The DSSCs were fabricated by cleaning FTO glass, treating with TiCl4, coating with TiO2 paste, dye adsorption, and assembling with a Pt counter electrode and electrolyte.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
UV-vis absorption spectra, cyclic voltammetry, photocurrent density–voltage characteristics, incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) spectrum, and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) were used to analyze the dyes' properties and device performance.
