Organic dyes containing furan moiety for high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells.
New metal-free dyes with a furan moiety in the conjugated spacer between the arylamine donor and the 2-cyanoacrylic acid acceptor have been synthesized, and high efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells were fabricated using these molecules as light-harvesting sensitizers.
