Abstract

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are photovoltaic devices that produce electricity from the photon energy of sunlight using dyes. Dyes used DSSCs should have a broad absorption spectrum at the UV-Vis region and should be strongly bound to the photoanode surface. Dyes are used in DSSCs can be classified into three types: metal complex dyes, metal-free organic dyes and natural dyes. For metal complex dyes, ruthenium is usually used as metal centers. While most Ru complex dyes have high efficiency, Ru is a rare metal. To decrease the cost of Ru complex dyes, transition metals are widely investigated. In this work, diphenylcarbazone and tartrazine with different metal complexes were synthesized and investigated for their suitability for DSSCs. UV-Vis was used for the characterization of dyes and linear sweep voltammetry and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy were used to investigate the performance of DSSCs.
