Phenothiazine-based dyes for efficient dye-sensitized solar cells

Abstract

Due to their structure features, 10<italic>H</italic>-phenothiazine-based dyes show high photovoltaic performance and have great potential for future technical applications in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The recent significant scientific progress of the dyes and their DSSCs is reviewed, and the relationship between the molecular structure and the photoelectric conversion properties is especially discussed.
