title: Structurally simple dipolar organic dyes featuring 1,3-cyclohexadiene conjugated unit for dye-sensitized solar cells.
abstract: A series of structurally simple dipolar light-harvesting organic dyes featuring 1,3-cyclohexadiene in the aromatic pi framework for dye-sensitized solar cells has been synthesized and characterized. The highest conversion efficiency of the DSSCs based on these dyes can reach up to 4.4%.
