Concl nclus usions ns

  • 6 model Squaraine dyes were synthesized to investigate the role, of

alkyl chain length, nature of substituents and molecular asymmetry on the photovoltaic performance.

  • Electron injection and dye regeneration are not always governed

by energy gap (⊿G) and influenced by substituents and molecular structure. This suggests that high electron injection with low ⊿G becomes possible.

  • Creation of molecular asymmetry and introduction of longer alkyl

chain leads to facile electron injection.

  • Introduction of electron withdrawing Fluor-alkyl substituent leads

to facile dye regeneration.

  • Order of IPCE value was explained by the product of charge

injection efficiency and dye regeneration efficiency.
