An Indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene-Based Organic Dye for Solid-State p-Type Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells

• An indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene (IDTT) unit is used as a linker moiety to design a new p-type dye-TIP-for solid-state p-type dye-sensitized solar cells. Solar cells based on the TIP dye offered an efficiency of 0.18 % with an open-circuit photovoltage of 550 mV and a short-circuit photocurrent density of 0.86 mA cm(-2), which is better than those of two reference dyes, PB6 and BH4. Charge lifetime experiments reveal that the IDTT linker-based TIP dye significantly suppresses charge recombination losses in the devices.
