Abstract
Using newly synthesized indoline dyes as sensitizers for photoelectrochemical solar cells based on SnO2 nanocrystalline films, an energy conversion efficiency of 2.8% is achieved, compared with 1.2% for ruthenium bipyridyl dye (N-719) under the same experimental conditions. It is suggested that the formation of nonquenching aggregates and the better passivation of surface states on SnO2 by indoline dyes are instrumental factors in giving a higher efficiency for the cell sensitized with this dye.
