Abstract

Abstract We have designed and synthesised novel zinc porphyrin dyes that have a D-π-A system based on porphyrin derivatives containing a carbazole linked triphenylamine (TPA) electron-donating group as the second electron donor and a meso-substituted phenyl carboxyl anchoring group attached at the meso position of the porphyrin ring, yielding push– pull porphyrins as the most efficient green dye for DSSC applications. Under photovoltaic ...
