Abstract

Abstract The cell performance of novel benzoindoline dyes on zinc oxide prepared by template cathode electro-deposition method was compared with that of known indoline dyes. Among cyanoacrylic, single and double rhodanine acetic acid derivatives, the cyanoacrylic benzoindoline dye showed better performance than the indoline dye (D131) due to larger J sc value which comes from its positive E ox level and bathochromic UV–vis ...
