title: Molecular engineering of zinc phthalocyanine sensitizers for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells.
abstract: Asymmetric zinc phthalocyanines with alkyl chain substituents formed highly efficient light-harvesting layers on a TiO2 surface. Dye-sensitized solar cells using PcS20 exhibited a record efficiency of 6.4% under one-sun irradiation.
