Embodiment 1

[0032] Preparation of compound FWD2

[0033]

[0034] Compound FWD2 was obtained according to the following route:

[0035]

[0036] Synthesis of Intermediate 2

[0037] Add to round bottom flask (1470mg, 2.80mmol), Pd(PPh 3 ) 4 (325mg, 0.28mmol), K 2 CO 3 (3100mg, 22.4mmol) and styrene (821mg, 6.72mmol), 1,4-dioxane ((32mL) and H 2 O (8 mL), the mixture was stirred at 90 °C overnight. After cooling, the reaction mixture was extracted with dichloromethane. Anhydrous Na for organic phase 2 SO 4 dry. After filtration, the solvent was removed by rotary evaporation. The resulting crude product was purified by means of flash chromatography on silica gel using a mixture of petroleum ether / dichloromethane (1:1, v / v) as eluent to obtain 1220 mg of intermediate 1 (91.2% yield) as a yellow solid .

Abstract

The invention discloses a micro-molecular organic dyestuff for dye-sensitized solar cells. A (substituted) phenyl group is introduced into a triphenylamine unit through double bond or triple bond, so that a series of conjugated expanding micro-molecular organic dyestuffs can be acquired. The systematic research on the optical and electrochemical properties and photovoltaic parameters of solar cells based on these dyestuffs proves that the dyestuff compounded according to the invention, compared with a traditional metal coordination dyestuff, shows excellent performances, such as, higher molar extinction coefficient, higher short-circuit photocurrent density and higher photoelectric conversion efficiency, the dyestuff is easily compounded, the cost is low and the dyestuff shows potential application prospect for replacing a noble metal photosensitizer.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of synthesis and application of a dye-sensitized solar cell sensitizer, in particular to a conjugated extended small molecule organic dye. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of society, human's demand for energy has further increased. The massive use of traditional energy, such as oil, natural gas, and coal, not only pollutes the global environment, but also causes problems such as global warming and the greenhouse effect. Therefore, the development of various new energy sources emerges as the times require. Among various new energy development programs, solar energy shows great superiority due to its advantages in environmental protection, renewable energy, and large energy reserves. Since the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) Since the research team developed the dye-sensitized nanoscale titanium dioxide solar cell in 1991, a lot of research has been carried out in thi...
