Paper Abstract
Phthalocyanine dyes are well known for their intense absorption in the red and near-IR regions. We synthesized novel
phthalocyanines for dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Those dyes can absorb in the red and near-IR regions and adsorb
onto the surface of TiO2. Using such phthalocyanines as working electrode with TiO2, DSSCs were assembled and its
photocurrent-voltage and IPCE characteristics have been studied and compared. Light energy conversion efficiency of
DSSCs depended on the structures of phthalocyanine, the co-adsorbent, and the electrolytes. Furthermore, multi-dye
type DSSC was investigated, which mixed a phthalocyanine and a carotenoid derivative. The conversion efficiency of
the multi-dye DSSC increased compared with the DSSC which used single dye.
