The invention belongs to the technical field of
solar cell and relates to an
organic dye using a multi-heterocyclic derivant as a conjugate unit and a dye-sensitized
solar cell made from the dye. The dye uses a plurality of heterocyclic derivants as a pi unit and belongs to a molecule with a D-pi-A structure. The dye has wide absorption spectrum and high
photoelectric conversion efficiency and has application prospect in the
solar cell through substituting for a
noble metal dye. The
dye molecule belongs to a pure
organic compound; compared with the prior
ruthenium dye, the
organic dye does not need to use expensive
metal ruthenium as a
raw material and
glucan as a purifying agent; additionally, the synthesis yield is high (the total yield is more than 40 percent); therefore, the
organic dye has the advantages of low cost and simple production; in addition, the absorption spectrum of the dye exceeds 550 nm and the
molar extinction coefficient exceeds 45000 M-1cm-1, which are far larger than the absorption spectrum and the
molar extinction coefficient of the
ruthenium dye; therefore, the organic has wider absorption range to solar
ray. The dye-sensitized solar
cell prepared from the dye has high quanta conversion efficiency (IPCE); the maximum of the quanta conversion efficiency exceeds 95 percent (nm); and the
photoelectric conversion efficiency is more than 8.0 percent and exceeds that of other most pure organic dye-sensitized solar cells.
