Influence of triazole dendritic additives in electrolytes on dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) performance

Abstract

Novel triazole dendritic molecules bearing dimethyl isophthalate surface group are synthesized. The enhancement of triazole and carboxylate groups in the dendritic structures significantly alter the absorption, electrochemical and DSSCs behaviors. With dendritic additive DSSCs cell exhibited higher Voc values and power conversion efficiency (η) in I/I3redox couple under simulated AM 1.5 at 40 mW cm−2.
