Paper Abstract
Creation of molecular asymmetry in the organic sensitizing dyes has been demonstrated for enhancing the
photoconversion efficiency due to unidirectional flow of electron after the photoexcitation. Molecular structures for
direct indole ring carboxy-functionalized unsymmetrical squaraine dyes have been optimized by fine tuning the
molecular structures and judicious selection of the substituents to prevent the dye aggregation and electron
recombination. Best efficiency of 4.42 % was achieved for unsymmetrical squaraine dye SQ-64 with a short circuit
current density of 11.22 mA/cm2, a fill factor of 0.61 and an open circuit voltage of 0.64 V under standard AM 1.5
simulated solar irradiation.
