title: A meso-meso directly linked porphyrin dimer-based double D-π-A sensitizer for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells.
abstract: A novel double D-π-A branched dye () was synthesized and applied as a sensitizer for DSSCs. exhibited broader and stronger light absorption capability than the single D-π-A dye (). In the meantime, the orthogonal conformation of was found to be favorable for impeding intermolecular aggregation. Consequently, a power conversion efficiency of 5.33% was achieved under AM 1.5G conditions.
