Abstract:

 

In order to get a better insight into the relationship between molecular   structure and photovoltaic performance, six monoazo dye molecules containing   benzoic and cinnamic acid moieties were synthesized and their photovoltaic   properties were studied. Three of them have not been previously used in   solar cells. Spectroscopic measurements of the investigated compounds   coupled with theoretical calculations were performed. Short-circuit current   density, open-circuit voltage, and fill-factor were determined. It was found   that a larger amount of short-circuit current density will be generated if   the HOMO--LUMO energy gap is lower, determined by the stability of the   molecule and the electronic effect of the donor moiety. Among both series of   synthesized dye molecules, the highest obtained values of short-circuit   current density were achieved with (2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-ylazo)benzoic   acid and (2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-ylazo)cinnamic acid, and thus they were   regarded as promising candidates for application in dye-sensitized solar   cells.
