Stable Dyes Containing Double Acceptors without COOH as Anchors for Highly Efficient Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells

Abstract

The electron acceptor 2-(1,1-dicyanomethylene) rhodanine is a promising alternative to cyanoacrylic acid as an anchoring group for organic dyes. For example, the RD-II-based dye-sensitized solar cell has an overall conversion efficiency of 7.11 % and long-term stability.
