title: Organic dyes incorporating low-band-gap chromophores for dye-sensitized solar cells.
abstract: Versatile dyes based on benzothiadiazole and benzoselenadiazole chromophores have been developed that perform efficiently in dye-sensitized solar cells. Power conversion efficiency of 3.77% is realized for a dye in which charge recombination is probably hindered by the nonplanar charge-separated structure.
