Porphyrin sensitized solar cells: TiO2 sensitization with a pi-extended porphyrin possessing two anchoring groups.
A pi-extended porphyrin possessing two anchoring groups has been synthesized and successfully applied to dye-sensitized solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of 5.5%, rendering it comparable to the performance of N719-sensitized solar cells under the conditions employed here.
