1.Introduction

As a potential alternative to conventional inorganic photovoltaic devices,dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs),the so-called Gr?tzel cells [1],have attracted ever-increasing attention in the past decades.Several ruthenium-based sensitizers,such as N3,N719and black dye [2e 5],have achieved remarkable power conversion ef ?ciency of 10e 11%under AM 1.5G irradiation.Recent attentions have focused on metal-free organic dyes as DSSC sensitizers because of their strong molar absorption coef ?cient,ease of structure modi ?cation,and low material cost [6].Most metal-free dyes used for highly ef ?cient DSSCs follow a donor e (p -spacer)e acceptor (D e p e A)architecture [7].Generally,coumarin [8e 10],indoline [11e 14],tri-phenylamine [15e 20],tetrahydroquinoline [21,22],and carbazole [23e 27]have been widely employed as the electron donor unit with good performance.Carboxylic acid,cyanoacrylic acid [28e 32],and rhodamine [33e 35]moieties are often introduced into the (D e p e A)system as electron acceptors to ful ?ll these requirements described above.The donors and the acceptors are linked by various p -conjugated spacers such as polyene,oligophenylenevinylene,oligothiophene and their derivatives.A series of indoline dyes have shown an impressive high ef ?ciency of 9%for DSSCs [32,36].

Among various electron donors,triarylamine moieties have been investigated widely due to their prominent electron-donating ability,hole-transport properties,and prevention of direct charge recombination between TiO 2and I 3àby the bulky aryl group covering TiO 2surfaces [37].Much work has been done to optimize the structure of triarylamine to improve the performance of the cells in our group [16,17,23,38].However,one problem of triphe-nylamine that need to be addressed is the rotation of the phenyl rings,which causes serious energy loss.In our previous research,it was observed that as the increase of the triphenylamine units,the ef ?ciency of the dyes decreases seriously.Hence,it can be specu-lated that the ef ?ciency of the dye can be effectively increased if the phenyl rings were locked to prevent the rotation.Iminodibenzyl and iminostilbene with two phenyl rings connected by alkyl and ethylene chains have been widely used in materials of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs),which contribute to the achieve-ment of high luminescence quantum yield [39,40],however,there are no report of utilizing iminodibenzyl and iminostilbene moiety as electron donor for the organic sensitizers of DSSCs.Here,we report the synthesis and characterization of four new organic dyes that contain 5-phenyl-iminodibenzyl (IDB )and 5-phenyl-iminos-tilbene (ISB )as the electron donors,thiophene as p -conjugation linkage,and cyanoacrylic acid as the electron acceptor and anchoring group,shown in Fig.1.Thiophene and alkene as the p -conjugated systems between the donor and the acceptor were

extended to adjust the molecular HOMO and the LUMO energy levels of the dyes,hence red-shifting and broadening the absorp-tion spectra with the number of p -conjugations introduced [41].On the other hand,it was found that the bridge between the two rings can affect the performance of the sensitizer signi ?cantly.To understand the effect of the con ?guration to the performance of the sensitizer,TDDFT calculation was performed.2.Experimental

thiophene linker.The IDB and ISB as electron donors were synthesized via the Ullmann coupling reaction of iminodibenzyl and iminostilbene with iodobenzene in the presence of copper powder,potassium carbonate and [18]https://www.sodocs.net/doc/0e1855531.html,pounds 5and

6were obtained by bromination reaction of IDB and ISB using N -bromosuccinimide (NBS)followed by the Michaelis e Arbuzor reaction [42,43].The Suzuki coupling reaction was made with the respective bromides and 5-formyl-2-thiophene-boronic acid to yield the aldehydes 7and 8.Aldehydes 9and 10were prepared from 3and 4by means of the Vilsmeier e Haack reaction [44,45].In the cases of linker extension by the Wittig reaction,formylation of the thiophene with n -BuLi and DMF was applied [41].Finally,the target products (IDB-1,ISB-1,IDB-2,and ISB-2)were synthesized via the Knoevenagel condensation reaction of the respective alde-hydes with cyanoacetic acid in the presence of piperidine,and their chemical structures were fully characterized with 1H NMR,13C NMR and HRMS.

3.2.Absorption properties in solutions and on TiO 2?lm

Table 1presents the experimental spectral and electrochemical properties of the IDB-1,ISB-1,IDB-2,and ISB-2dyes.Normalized adsorption spectra of the dyes in dichloromethane diluted solution and on TiO 2?lms were shown in Fig.2.In dichloromethane solu-tion,all these dyes exhibit a relatively broad and strong absorption band in the visible region corresponding to the intramolecular charge transfer (ICT)band (Fig.2a).The absorption peaks (l max )for IDB-1,ISB-1,IDB-2,and ISB-2located at 422,470,467and 498nm in diluted solution,respectively.Judging from that of IDB-1and ISB-1,the absorption band of IDB-2and ISB-2showed a large red-shift upon increased linker conjugation.Obviously,in the series of sensitizers containing the same cyanoacetic acid unit and electron transport channels,the ICT band is dependent upon the donor units.As listed in Table 1,the red-shift by 48or 31nm was observed when replacing IDB unit (IDB-1and IDB-2)with ISB unit (ISB-1and ISB-2)in the donor moiety,indicative of the more powerful electron-donating capability of the ISB unit than that of the IDB unit.

Generally,when sensitizers are anchored onto nanocrystalline TiO 2surface,the deprotonation and aggregation of the dye mole-cules affect UV-vis absorption pro ?les.Deprotonation and H-aggregates always result in blue-shift of absorption peak,while J-aggregates mainly lead to the red-shift of absorption peak.Like most D-p -A conjugated organic sensitizers,the ICT absorption peak of ISB dyes (ISB-1and ISB-2)on 6.5m m TiO 2?lms exhibit a large blue-shift (52and 59nm,respectively)with respect

to

measurements taken in dichloromethane solution(Table1).Since the aggregation tendency is not obvious within such thin?lms of TiO2,here the shift in absorption peak might be predominated by deprotonation effect.Unexpectedly,the ICT absorption peaks of IDB dyes(IDB-1and IDB-2)are slightly blue-shifted by only2nm from 422nm in solution to420nm on TiO2,and1nm from467nm in solution to466nm on TiO2,respectively.Thus iminodibenzyl unit in IDB dyes countervails the deprotonation effect.It is noteworthy that the absorption spectrum of the dyes adsorbed onto6.5m m TiO2?lms shows a markedly broad pro?le,which is bene?cial to light-harvesting(Fig.2b).

3.3.Theoretical calculation

To gain insight into the geometrical properties and scrutinize the charge transfer on excitation,the ground-state geometries of the protonated dyes have been optimized in the gas phase by DFT with the Gaussian09package[46],using the hybrid B3LYP[47] functional and the standard6-31G(d)basis set.The TDDFT calcu-lations were performed with MPW1K[48]functional and6-31G(d) basis set on the B3LYP optimized ground-state geometries.Solva-

tion effect was included in the TDDFT calculations in CH2Cl2with the nonequilibrium version of the C-PCM model[49].As illustrated in Fig.3,the dihedral angles between the phenyl B1planes and the phenyl B2planes of the ISB dyes are higher than those of the IDB dyes.The phenomenon is due to the rigid iminostilbene substituent which would increase the steric strain and cause the iminostilbene moiety to twist slightly out of the plane de?ned by phenyl B1.The angle formed between the phenyl B1plane and the phenyl B2plane of the ISB-2is as large as82 ,which can help to inhibit the close p e p aggregation.As illustrated in Fig.4,the HOMO orbital of the dyes is primarily located at the p-framework of the donor part and thiophene group,while the electron density of the LUMO is delo-calized over the thiophene group and anchoring group.Examina-tion of the frontier orbitals of all sensitizers suggests that the HOMO-LUMO excitation would shift the electron density distri-bution from the donor unit to the anchoring moiety,facilitating ef?cient photoinduced/interfacial electron injection from excited dyes to the TiO2electrode.

3.4.Electrochemical properties

Fig.5depicts the cyclic voltammogram(CV)of IDB-1,IDB-2,ISB-1,and ISB-2,measured with four sensitizers attached to6.5m m nanocrystalline TiO2?lms deposited on conducting FTO glass in MeCN containing0.1M tetra-n-butylammonium hexa-?uorophosphate(TBAPF6)with a0.05V sà1scan rate.CV was employed to evaluate the redox stability and oxidation potential of the dyes.As estimated from the absorption threshold of these dyes onto TiO2?lms,the excitation transition energy(E0e0)of IDB-1, IDB-2,ISB-1,and ISB-2is2.08,2.03,2.05and2.01eV,respectively (Table1).The HOMO values of IDB-1,IDB-2,ISB-1,and ISB-2cor-responding to their?rst redox potential were1.12,1.05,1.19and 0.96V vs.NHE,respectively.Observed from these electrochemical data of IDB-1and ISB-1,or IDB-2and ISB-2,it seems that the HOMO energy level is exclusively determined by donors.The esti-mated excited-state potential corresponding to the LUMO levels of IDB-1,IDB-2,ISB-1,and ISB-2,calculated from E HOMOàE0e0, areà0.96,à0.98,à0.86andà1.05V vs.NHE,respectively.Judging from the LUMO value,the four dyes are more negative than the bottom of the conduction band of TiO2(à0.5V),indicating that the electron injection process from the excited dye molecule to TiO2 conduction band is energetically permitted[50e52].

3.5.Performances of dye-sensitized solar cells

Action spectrum,incident photon-to-electron conversion ef?-ciency(IPCE)as a function of wavelength,was measured to eval-uate the photoresponse of photoelectrode in the whole

region.The IDB-1,IDB-2,ISB-1,and ISB-2sensitizers have been used to manufacture solar cell devices by using8(transparent)t4 (scattering)m m TiO2layers.Fig.6shows the IPCE obtained with a sandwich cell by using0.1M lithium iodide,0.6M methyl-propylimidazolum iodide(MPII)and0.05M I2in the mixed solvent of acetonitrile and3-methoxypropionitrile(7:3,v/v)as redox electrolyte.The photocurrent action spectra of all sensitizers exhibit very high plateaus where IPCE values reach85%.Consid-ering the light absorption and scattering loss by the conducting glass,the maximum ef?ciency for absorbed photon-to-collected electron conversion ef?ciency is almost unity over a broad spec-tral range,suggesting a very high electron injection ef?ciency of these dyes.Solar cells based on IDB-1and ISB-1showed high IPCE (85%)but not broad spectra,resulting in lower overall ef?ciencies due to spectral limitations.Solar cells based on IDB-2and ISB-2 show broad IPCEs in accordance to the broad absorption spectrum achieved by increased linker conjugation.

Fig.7shows the current e voltage(J e V)curves of the DSSCs under standard global AM1.5G solar irradiation.The short-circuit photocurrent density(J sc),open-circuit voltage(V oc),and?ll factor(ff)of the solar cell based on ISB-2are13.14mA cmà2,649mV,and0.68,respectively,yielding an overall conversion ef?ciency(h)of5.83%.Under the same conditions,the device based on IDB-2shows lower J sc,leading to an inferior h value of5.21% (Table2).For a fair comparison,the N719-sensitized DSSC was also fabricated under the same conditions and yielded h value of7.47%. The higher J sc values of the IDB-2and ISB-2-based cells than those of the IDB-1and ISB-1-based cells are consistent with the values for the IPCE spectra due to the increased linker conjugation.In comparison with the IDB-1and IDB-2-based cells,the ISB-1and ISB-2-based cells show higher J sc,respectively,re?ecting the better sunlight-harvesting ability of the ISB

dyes.

Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy(EIS)analysis was performed to elucidate the photovoltaic?ndings further.Fig.8 compares the impedance spectra for IDB-1,ISB-1,IDB-2,and ISB-2-sensitized cells measured in the dark under a forward bias ofà0.60V with a frequency range of0.1Hz to100kHz.The important differences for these organic dye-sensitized solar cells are their conductivity.The Nyquist plots(Fig.8a)show the radius of the middle semicircle to increase in the order ISB-2

4.Conclusion

In summary,four new organic sensitizers(IDB-1,ISB-1,IDB-2, and ISB-2)containing5-phenyl-iminodibenzyl(IDB)and5-phenyl-iminostilbene(ISB)as electron donors had been designed and synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cells.These dyes were successfully adsorbed on nanocrystalline anatase TiO2particles, and subsequently ef?cient dye-sensitized solar cells had been fabricated.It was found that the dyes containing5-phenyl-imi-nostilbene(ISB)as electron donors exhibited improved photovol-taic performance compared with the ones containing5-phenyl-iminodibenzyl(IDB)as electron donors.A solar cell device based on the sensitizer ISB-2yielded a higher overall conversion ef?ciency up to5.83%(J sc?13.14mA cmà2,V oc?0.64V,and ff?0.68)under 100mW cmà2simulated AM1.5G solar irradiation.The introduc-tion of increased linker conjugation appears to contribute to higher J sc and IPCE in DSSCs.Our?ndings demonstrate that the IDB and ISB organic sensitizers are promising for further improvement of the conversion ef?ciency of DSSCs owing to the original and versatile molecular design.
