Abstract

Two novel oxindole sensitizers have been synthesized for dye-sensitized solar cell applications. These new dyes can provide an additional pathway to inject electrons into the photoanode through the partial chelation of their amide carbonyl groups to the TiO2 surface. Incorporation of an electron deficient pyridine in the acceptor of the TI125 dye was found to enhance the photovoltage and conversion efficiency of the cell.
