Cyclometalated Ruthenium(II) Complexes as Near‐IR Sensitizers for High Efficiency Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

Abstract

Efficient light harvesting: Cyclometalated ruthenium complexes were synthesized and evaluated in a dye-sensitized solar cell as near-IR sensitizers. Tuning of the HOMO energy level by structural modifications of the ligand improved the conversion efficiency of the cells based on these complexes to up to 10.7 %.
