A dendron modified ruthenium complex: enhanced open circuit voltage in dye-sensitized solar cells.
The novel ruthenium complex RG1, bearing dendritic structures, can act not only as a dye but also as an additive in the electrolytes, leading to slow charge recombination and high open-circuit voltage even without 4-tert-butylpyridine in both iodine and cobalt electrolytes.
