Lee, GH; Kim, YSLee, Geon Hyeong; Kim, Young SikTheoretical study of novel porphyrin-based dye for efficient dye-sensitized solar cellMOLECULAR CRYSTALS AND LIQUID CRYSTALSEnglishArticlePorphyrin; dye-sensitized solar cell; DSSC; DFT; TDDFTORGANIC-DYES; ELECTROLYTE; ACCEPTOR; COMPLEXIn this study, novel porphyrin-based dye sensitizer with diphenylamine (DPA) as the electron donating group, isoindigo (II) as the electron withdrawing group, and carboxylic acid (CA) with benzene as the anchoring part (YD2-II-CA) were theoretically investigated in comparison with the recent best dye (YD2-o-C8). Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations were used to gain insight into the factors responsible for photovoltaic performance. Due to the substitution of the electron withdrawing unit, the absorption spectra of YD2-II-CA was more red-shifted and broader than the spectrum of the YD2-o-C8. The results suggest that this novel porphyrin-based dye would have good photovoltaic properties in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs)[Lee, Geon Hyeong; Kim, Young Sik] Hongik Univ, Dept Informat Display, Seoul 121791, South Korea; [Kim, Young Sik] Hongik Univ, Dept Sci, Seoul, South KoreaHongik University; Hongik UniversityKim, YS i˜A—’˜ŽÒjAHongik Univ, Dept Informat Display, Seoul 121791, South Korea.;Kim, YS i˜A—’˜ŽÒjAHongik Univ, Dept Sci, Seoul, South Korea.youngkim@hongik.ac.krKim, Young-Sik/AFC-8873-2022Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) - Ministry of Education, Science and Technology [2010-0021668]Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) - Ministry of Education, Science and TechnologyThis research was supported by the Basic Science Research Program through the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF) funded by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (2010-0021668).1512146TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTDABINGDON2-4 PARK SQUARE, MILTON PARK, ABINGDON OR14 4RN, OXON, ENGLAND1542-14061563-5287MOL CRYST LIQ CRYSTMol.

A.The effects of macrocycle and anchoring group replacements on the performance of porphyrin based sensitizer: DFT and TD-DFT studyJOURNAL OF PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF SOLIDSEnglishArticlePorphyrins; Phthalocyanines; Anchoring groups; DSSCs; TD-DFTPUSH-PULL PORPHYRINS; SOLAR-CELLS; ELECTRONIC-PROPERTIES; MOLECULAR DESIGN; AB-INITIO; DYE; PHTHALOCYANINES; ENERGIES; IMPROVEMENT; EFFICIENCYDensity functional theory and time dependent-density functional theory calculations have been carried out in an attempt to design new phthalocycanine based sensitizers that could be expected to improve the performance of the porphyrin based sensitizer YD2-o-C8. This was done through replacing the porphyrin macrocycle and carboxylic acid anchoring group of YD2-o-C8 by phthalocyanine macrocycle and cyanoacrylic acid anchoring group, respectively. The performances of the suggested cells could be expected to improve the efficiency of the reference dye YD2-o-C8 with Ti38O76, (TiO2)(60), SiC, and SrTiO3 semiconductors. Macrocycle replacement assists in promoting the efficiency in the red shoulder of the spectrum more effectively than that of the anchoring group. The effects of the former structural modifications on cell performance are confirmed in terms of frontier molecular orbitals, energy gaps, semiconductor valence and conduction band edges, density of states, molecular electrostatic potentials, non linear optical performances, reorganization energies, UV-vis absorption and emission, life times of excited states, light harvesting efficiency, injection efficiency, charge collection, and free energy of regeneration.

The molecular geometries and photophysical properties of dyes before and after binding to the TiO2 cluster were fully investigated. From the analyses of natural bond orbital (NBO), extended charge decomposition analysis (ECDA), and electron density variations (Delta rho) between the excited state and ground state, it was found that the introduction of N(CH3)(2) and 1,1,2-triphenylethene groups enhanced the intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) character compared to YD2-o-C8. The absorption wavelength and transition possess character were significantly influenced by N(CH3)(2) and 1,1,2-triphenylethene groups. NCH3-YD2 with N(CH3)(2) groups in the donor part is an effective way to improve the interactions between the dyes and TiO2 surface, light having efficiency (LHE), and free energy change (Delta G(inject)), which is expected to be an efficient dye for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs).[Kang, Guo-Jun; Song, Chao; Ren, Xue-Feng] China Univ Min & Technol, Sch Chem Engn & Technol, Low Carbon Energy Inst, Xuzhou 221008, Peoples R ChinaChina University of Mining & TechnologyRen, XF i˜A—’˜ŽÒjAChina Univ Min & Technol, Sch Chem Engn & Technol, Low Carbon Energy Inst, Xuzhou 221008, Peoples R China.gjkang@cumt.edu.cn; schaocumt@126.com; renxf@cumt.edu.cnsong, chao/HTO-8527-2023Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities [2013QNA14]; Priority Academic Program Development of Jiangsu Higher Education InstitutionsFundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities(Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities); Priority Academic Program Development of Jiangsu Higher Education InstitutionsFinancial supports were received from the Fundamental Research Funds for the Central Universities (Nos. 2013QNA14).

Herein, a strategy has been proposed to explore the influence of the local electric field on the functionality of DSSCs of YD2-O-C8 dye via calculating the relevant properties in various electric field strengths. The YD2-O-C8 dye has been systemically studied with density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) for its electronic structure and optical properties in tetrahydrofuran (THF) solution. The absorption spectra are gradually narrowing and blue-shifting while increasing the electric field strength. Two key parameters of the light harvesting efficiency (LHE) and the TiO2 conduction band shift (Delta E-cb) have been examined for the YD2-O-C8 sensitized TiO2 system. It is found that it is of great importance to reduce the charge accumulation on the TiO2 film, which lowers the electric field strength and shows the best performance of DSSCs. This study is expected to deepen our understanding of the function of local electric field and the operational principles of the DSSCs for further optimization. (C) 2015 Elsevier B.V.

In order to meet these requirements, a cocktail dye made up of novel phthalocyanines together with a porphyrin have been designed. The novel unsymmetrical phthalocyanines are two ferrocenylphenoxy-naphthalenephthalocyanine (FPNPc) with Zn (ZnFPNPc) or TiO (TiOFPNPc) at the inner core and 4-ferrocenylphenoxy and 4-carboxybenzo substituents at peripheral positions. In order to increase their UV-Vis absorption capacity, cocktails have been prepared with the synthesized new dyes (ZnFPNPc or TiOFPNPc) and YD2 porphyrin dye. The full characterization of novel synthesized dyes has been performed by UV-Vis absorption, FTIR, H1-NMR, MALDI-TOF, electrochemical, TD-DFT techniques. In this work we have prepared DSSCs based on YD2 and phthalocyanine dye molecule with different cocktail ratio (YD2 + ZnFPNPc or YD2 + TiOFPNPc ratios: 1:1, 1:2, 2:1, 1:3, 3:1, 1:4 and 4:1). The best solar cell performance has been performed in the cases of YD2 + ZnFPNPc (3:1) (9.96%) and YD2 + TiOFPNPc (3:1) (10.72%) cocktail dyes. Due to the high efficiency values obtained, these new cocktail dyes are expected to be a good alternative to the ruthenium-based complex dyes used in DSSCs and pave the way for potential alternative dyes.[Demirci, Yigit Can; Ozacar, Mahmut] Sakarya Univ, Fac Sci, Dept Chem, TR-54187 Sakarya, Turkiye; [Cakar, Soner] Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit Univ, Dept Chem, TR-67100 Zonguldak, Turkiye; [Cakar, Soner; Ozacar, Mahmut] Sakarya Univ, Biomat Energy Photocatalysis Enzyme Technol Nano &, TR-54187 Sakarya, Turkiye; [Sevim, Altug Mert; Gul, Ahmet] Istanbul Tech Univ, Dept Chem, TR-34469 Istanbul, TurkiyeSakarya University; Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University; Sakarya University; Istanbul Technical University?zacar, M i˜A—’˜ŽÒjASakarya Univ, Fac Sci, Dept Chem, TR-54187 Sakarya, Turkiye.mozacar@sakarya.edu.tr?zacar, Mahmut/AAF-9122-2020; GUL, AHMET/LXW-1956-2024; Sevim, Altu?/Y-4197-2018; ?akar, Soner/AAH-1477-2020Ozacar, Mahmut/0000-0002-1783-7275;Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) [119Z082]; Scientific Research Projects Commission of Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University [2021-72118496-04]; Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA)Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)(Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK)); Scientific Research Projects Commission of Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University; Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA)(Turkish Academy of Sciences)This work was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) (Project number:119Z082) and Scientific Research Projects Commission of Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University (Project Number: 2021-72118496-04) .

Here, based upon the results calculated using density functional theory, the electronic structures and excitation related properties of porphyrin dye sensitizers YD2-o-C8, SM315, and SM371 were analyzed. It was found that the similar electronic structures of YD2-o-C8 and SM371 result in similar absorption spectra, excitation, and free energy variation for electron injection (EI) and dye regeneration. However, since the electronic structure of the benzothiadiazole unit is well-coupled to that of the porphyrin ring, introducing benzothiadiazole into porphyrin dyes generates a decrease in the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy, red-shift and splitting of absorption bands. Meanwhile, remarkably it increases the transferred charges of excitation, which is responsible for the superior short-circuit current density of SM315 sensitized DSSCs. Furthermore, the transition configurations and molecular orbitals indicate the diarylamine group acts as an electronic donor, and the different EI modes with different timescales coexist in excited states due to the multi-configurations of transition. The results of structure-property relationships are favorable to develop novel dye sensitizers for DSSCs.[Li, Xing-Yu; Zhang, Cai-Rong; Chen, Yu-Hong] Lanzhou Univ Technol, State Key Lab Adv Proc & Recycling Non ferrous Me, Lanzhou 730050, Gansu, Peoples R China; [Li, Xing-Yu; Zhang, Cai-Rong; Yuan, Li-Hua; Zhang, Mei-Ling; Chen, Yu-Hong] Lanzhou Univ Technol, Dept Appl Phys, Lanzhou 730050, Gansu, Peoples R China; [Liu, Zi-Jiang] Lanzhou City Univ, Dept Phys, Lanzhou 730070, Peoples R ChinaLanzhou University of Technology; Lanzhou University of Technology; Lanzhou City UniversityZhang, CR i˜A—’˜ŽÒjALanzhou Univ Technol, State Key Lab Adv Proc & Recycling Non ferrous Me, Lanzhou 730050, Gansu, Peoples R China.;Zhang, CR i˜A—’˜ŽÒjALanzhou Univ Technol, Dept Appl Phys, Lanzhou 730050, Gansu, Peoples R China.zhcrxy@lut.cnZHANG, CAI-RONG/E-3126-2013; Liu, Zi-Jiang/N-7164-2013; CHEN, YuHong/J-5863-2013; Li, Xingyu/AHE-0001-2022; Liu, Zi-Jiang/L-1895-2019Liu, Zi-Jiang/0000-0002-0880-8149;National Natural Science Foundation of China [11164016]National Natural Science Foundation of China(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC))This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 11164016).

In this paper, new Zn(II) porphyrin dyes were investigated to improve the performance of the YD2-o-C8 using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. Effects of various substituted and anchoring groups on basic porphine and Zn(II) porphyrin derivatives were systematically studied at the B3LYP/LanL2DZ level. The absorption spectra of Zn(II) porphyrin derivatives bearing one, two and four anchoring groups in the meso-positions were also studied. The calculations showed that a molecule [5, 10, 15, 20-(4-carboxyphenylethynyl)porphyrinato]Zn(II) have large absorption cross-ection than available in the existing porphyrin dyes. The results of these calculations would open up enormous possibilities to develop porphyrin dyes characterized by high absorption cross-section for various light harvesting applications.[Yasin, Amina; Jose, Rajan; Yusoff, Mashitah M.] Univ Malaysia Pahang, Fac Ind Sci & Technol, Kuantan 26300, Pahang, MalaysiaUniversiti Malaysia Pahang Al-Sultan Abdullah (UMPSA)Jose, R i˜A—’˜ŽÒjAUniv Malaysia Pahang, Fac Ind Sci & Technol, Kuantan 26300, Pahang, Malaysia.rjose@ump.edu.my; mashitah@ump.edu.myJose, Rajan/C-9944-2009; yasin, amina/HKE-7683-2023; Yusoff, Mashitah/J-5975-2012Yusoff, Mashitah/0000-0003-4118-5307; Yasin, Amina/0009-0000-0193-2166; Jose, Rajan/0000-0003-4540-321XResearch & Innovation Department of Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) [RDU 150328]Research & Innovation Department of Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP)This research is supported by the Research & Innovation Department of Universiti Malaysia Pahang (UMP) through the grant entitled Synthesis of Porphyrins with Tailored Optical Properties (RDU 150328).6288331WORLD SCI PUBL CO INCHACKENSACK27 WARREN ST, STE 401-402, HACKENSACK, NJ 07601 USA1088-42461099-1409J PORPHYR PHTHALOCYAJ.

The frontier molecular orbital energy levels, absorption spectra, and the hole-electron separation characteristics of the designed dyes were investigated using the density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) methods. The results show that compared with the reference dye YD2-o-C8, the introduction of heterocyclopentadiene in pi-bridge can improve the photoelectric performance of dyes. The photoelectric properties of porphyrin dyes can be regulated by changing heteroatoms. Further analysis on the relationship between the properties of heterocyclopentadienes and the photoelectric performance of the porphyrin dyes shows that the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of heterocyclopentadienes has a good linear relationship with the photoelectric properties of the designed porphyrin dyes. The stronger electron receiving ability of heterocyclopentadiene can lead to the better performance of the porphyrin dye. The silicon-heterocyclopentadiene is of the strongest electron receiving ability, and the corresponding porphyrin dye has the widest absorption spectra and the strongest intramolecular charge transfer ability.[Gao Qian-Qian; Yuan Qing-Tang; Song Xu-Feng; Yu Yan-Min; Guo Jing] Beijing Univ Technol, Dept Environm Chem Engn, Beijing Key Lab Green Catalysis & Separat, Beijing 100124, Peoples R ChinaBeijing University of TechnologyYu, YM i˜A—’˜ŽÒjABeijing Univ Technol, Dept Environm Chem Engn, Beijing Key Lab Green Catalysis & Separat, Beijing 100124, Peoples R China.ymyu@bjut.edu.cnGao, Qianqian/AAW-1689-20204122023CHINESE CHEMICAL SOCBEIJINGC/O DEPT INT AFFAIRS, SECRETARY OF CHEM SOC, PO BOX 2709, BEIJING 100080, PEOPLES R CHINA1001-4861CHINESE J INORG CHEMChin.

The photoanode has been prepared with synthesized anatase TiO2 NPs using a spin coating procedure. TiO2 photoanode, dye/dye cocktails, I -/I3- electrolyte and Pt/FTO counter electrode have been utilized in the preparation of solar cells. The characterization of the prepared solar cells has been achieved via J-V, Nyquist, Bode, IPCE, normalized JSC and stability measurements. The highest conversion efficiency of the solar cell prepared with YD2:TiOSPPc (3:1) has been performed 10.96%, which this value was found to be higher than the solar cell efficiency of N719 standard dye (8.90%). With these innovative dye cocktails, it is expected that the dye system with not only high efficiency but also a relatively stable and higher VOC value will be an alternative to ruthenium-based dyes.[Arslan, Nuray; Yildirir, Seyma Nur; Sevim, Altug Mert; Gul, Ahmet] Istanbul Tech Univ, Dept Chem, TR-34469 Istanbul, Turkiye; [Cakar, Soner] Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit Univ, Dept Chem, TR-67100 Zonguldak, Turkiye; [Cakar, Soner; Ozacar, Mahmut] Sakarya Univ, BIOENAMS R&D Grp, Biomat Energy Photocatalysis Enzyme Technol Nano &, TR-54050 Sakarya, Turkiye; [Ozacar, Mahmut] Sakarya Univ, Dept Chem, TR-54050 Sakarya, TurkiyeIstanbul Technical University; Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University; Sakarya University; Sakarya UniversityG?l, A i˜A—’˜ŽÒjAIstanbul Tech Univ, Dept Chem, TR-34469 Istanbul, Turkiye.ahmetg@itu.edu.tr; GUL, AHMET/LXW-1956-2024; ?akar, Soner/AAH-1477-2020; Sevim, Altu?/Y-4197-2018; ?zacar, Mahmut/AAF-9122-2020Ozacar, Mahmut/0000-0002-1783-7275; Arslan, Nuray/0000-0002-5972-2476; Suerkan, Seyma Nur/0009-0006-1926-9351;Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBITAK) [119Z082]; Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA)Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBITAK)(Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK)); Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA)(Turkish Academy of Sciences)This investigation has been supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkiye (TUBITAK) (Project number: 119Z082).

Yang, LN; Lin, LG; Men, AL; Li, ZJYang, Li-Na; Lin, Li-Guang; Men, A-Lan; Li, Zhen-JiangTheoretical insights into co-sensitization mechanism in Zn-porphyrin and Y123 co-sensitized solar cellsJOURNAL OF PHOTOCHEMISTRY AND PHOTOBIOLOGY A-CHEMISTRYEnglishArticleCo-sensitization; Zn-porphyrin; Light harvesting; Interfacial electron transfer kineticsRESONANCE ENERGY-TRANSFER; ORGANIC-DYES; REGENERATION PROCESS; EFFICIENCY; DONOR; COSENSITIZATION; RECOMBINATION; PERFORMANCE; KINETICSDonor-pi-acceptor YD2-o-C8, WW-6, and SM315 are among best-performing Zn-porphyrins for their outstanding light-harvesting properties. To reach the further enhancement of photovoltaic performance of the corresponding cells, co-sensitization of these typical porphyrins with those dyes possessing intense absorption in the green spectral region (typically, Y123) is necessary. In this work, using density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent DFT (TD-DFT) approaches, co-sensitization mechanism in the above three typical Y123/Zn-porphyrin systems has been systematically investigated. Moreover, due to the excellent performance of dithienosilole (DTS) group in organic dyes, it is designed here to replace the benzothiadiazole (BTD) unit in SM315 to give a new Zn-porphyrin dye designated SM315-1. This specific modification of SM315 can effectively retard the interfacial charge recombination compared to that in YD2-o-C8 and WW-6 cells by reducing the contact between oxidized porphyrins and injected electrons in TiO2 substrate, and simultaneously improves the overall light harvesting ability of the co-sensitized film with the theoretical maximum limit of photocurrent to be 38.31 mA/cm(2). The both favorable aspects suggest an attractive application of the fully novel Y123/SM315-1 co-sensitized film in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC).[Yang, Li-Na; Lin, Li-Guang; Men, A-Lan] Qingdao Univ Sci & Technol, Coll Chem & Mol Engn, State Key Lab Base Ecochem Engn, Qingdao 266042, Shandong, Peoples R China; [Li, Zhen-Jiang] Qingdao Univ Sci & Technol, Coll Sinogerman Sci & Technol, Coll Electromech Engn, Key Lab Polymer Mat Adv Mfg Technol Shandong Prov, Qingdao 266061, Shandong, Peoples R ChinaQingdao University of Science & Technology; Qingdao University of Science & TechnologyLi, ZJ i˜A—’˜ŽÒjAQingdao Univ Sci & Technol, Coll Sinogerman Sci & Technol, Coll Electromech Engn, Key Lab Polymer Mat Adv Mfg Technol Shandong Prov, Qingdao 266061, Shandong, Peoples R China.zhenjiangli@qust.edu.cnLi, Zhenjiamg/S-4826-2017; Meng, Alan/AAI-2946-2020National Natural Science Foundation of China [51672144, 51572137, 51502149, 51702181]; Natural Science Foundation of Shandong Province [ZR2016EMB25, ZR2017PEM006, ZR2017BB013]; Higher Educational Science and Technology Program of Shandong Province [J16LA10, J17KA014]; Application Foundation Research Program of Qingdao [15-9-1-28-jch]; Taishan Scholars Program of Shandong Province [ts201511034]; Overseas Taishan Scholars ProgramNational Natural Science Foundation of China(National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC)); Natural Science Foundation of Shandong Province(Natural Science Foundation of Shandong Province); Higher Educational Science and Technology Program of Shandong Province; Application Foundation Research Program of Qingdao; Taishan Scholars Program of Shandong Province; Overseas Taishan Scholars ProgramWe own our sincere thanks to Prof. Ze-Sheng Li (Beijing Institute of Technology) for his progressive advice about this subject.

The geometries, HOMO-LUMO energy gap, electronic absorption spectra and light harvesting efficiency (LHE) of these sensitizers were investigated by density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations. Our results showed that LUMO energies of all dyes are above the conduction band (CB) of TiO2 and the HOMO energies of them are below the redox couple of I-/I-3(-), thus new sensitizers have convenient HOMO and LUMO energy levels for electron transfer from the excited dye to TiO2 semiconductor and dye regeneration. They also have broadened and red-shifted absorption bands. Open-circuit voltage (V-oc) and the short-circuit current density (J(sc)) parameters including LHE, electron injection driving force (Delta G(inject)) and the free energy change for dye regeneration (Delta G(rege)(n)) were calculated and discussed. The excited and ground state dipole moments were also calculated and their differences (Delta mu(EX-GS)) were discussed. Finally, results showed that thiophene and benzothiadiazole rings in comparison with phenyl ring as at-bridge and cyanoacrylic acid relative to the carboxylic acid as acceptor and anchoring groups showed better efficiency. A general comparison of our new sensitizers with reference dyes (YD2-o-C8 and SM315) showed that new sensitizers can be used for DSSC applications.[Hajizadeh, Fatemeh; Reisi-Vanani, Adel] Univ Kashan, Fac Chem, Dept Phys Chem, Kashan, Iran; [Azar, Yavar T.] Nucl Sci & Technol Res Inst, Phys & Accelerators Sch, Tehran, IranUniversity KashanReisi-Vanani, A i˜A—’˜ŽÒjAUniv Kashan, Fac Chem, Dept Phys Chem, Kashan, Iran.areisi@kashanu.ac.ir; Azar, Yavar/AAE-6981-2020; Reisi-Vanani, Adel/H-3141-2015Taghipour Azar, Yavar/0000-0002-9838-5425; Reisi-Vanani, Adel/0000-0003-2716-8623University of Kashan [573596/4]University of Kashan(University Kashan)The authors are grateful to the University of Kashan for supporting this work by Grant No. 573596/4.8218183103ELSEVIER SCIENCE BVAMSTERDAMPO BOX 211, 1000 AE AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS1567-17391878-1675CURR APPL PHYSCurr.

Phthalocyanines and porphyrins were the most investigated solar sensitive dyes. It has been determined that push-pull phthalocyanines containing carboxylic acid groups are among the promising photosensitizers for dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) with their absorption spectra in the NIR region. In particular, carboxylic acid-substituted non-symmetrical metallophthalocyanines appear to be extremely important for electron injection into the TiO2 conduction band in applications where DSSCs have significant potential to achieve greater efficiency. Zinc phthalocyanines containing these groups appear to be candidate molecules for DSSC. However, there is no apparent research in the literature regarding the syntheses and recommendations on analogues of zinc phthalocyanines containing three t-butylsulfanyl or ferrocenylphenol groups and mono aliphatic or aromatic alkynyl anchoring carboxylic acid groups as sensitizing agents for dye-sensitized solar cells. In this actual paper, zinc phthalocyanines and YD2 porphyrin macrocycles were combined as dye cocktails, to extend and complement the absorbance window of sensitizer dyes in the visible region. Thus, four novel A3B type non-symmetrical zinc phthalocyanines have been synthesized and characterized via spectroscopic (1H NMR, FTIR, UV-Vis, MALDI-TOF, etc.), electrochemical (CV, SWV), and molecular (TD-DFT) analysis methods. The reported novel solar sensitive dye-coated cells have been characterized in detail by electrochemical methods i.e., J-V, IPCE and measurements of stability. YD2:ZnPc3 (3:1) cocktail dye yielded the highest conversion efficiency, accomplishing 10.87 % exceeding the respective individual dye counterparts, but also the well-known Ru-based commercial N719 sensitizer's (8.90 %) solar cell efficiencies.[Suerkan, Seyma Nur; Arslan, Nuray; Gokceoren, Argun Talat; Sevim, Altug Mert; Gul, Ahmet] Istanbul Tech Univ, Dept Chem, TR-34469 Maslak Istanbul, Turkiye; [Cakar, Soner] Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit Univ, Dept Chem, TR-67100 Zonguldak, Turkiye; [Cakar, Soner; Ozacar, Mahmut] Sakarya Univ, Environm Applicat & Sustainabil Res & Dev Grp BIOE, Addit Mfg, Biomat Energy Photocatalysis,Enzyme Technol,Nano &, TR-54187 Sakarya, Turkiye; [Ozacar, Mahmut] Sakarya Univ, Fac Sci, Dept Chem, TR-54050 Sakarya, TurkiyeIstanbul Technical University; Zonguldak Bulent Ecevit University; Sakarya University; Sakarya UniversitySevim, AM i˜A—’˜ŽÒjAIstanbul Tech Univ, Dept Chem, TR-34469 Maslak Istanbul, Turkiye.sevim@itu.edu.tr?zacar, Mahmut/AAF-9122-2020; ?akar, Soner/AAH-1477-2020; Gokceoren, Argun/ABH-3036-2020; Sevim, Altu?/Y-4197-2018Ozacar, Mahmut/0000-0002-1783-7275;Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) [:119Z082]; Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA)Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK)(Turkiye Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Arastirma Kurumu (TUBITAK)); Turkish Academy of Sciences (TUBA)(Turkish Academy of Sciences)Acknowledgement This work was supported by the Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (TUBITAK) (Project number:119Z082) .

Title

TD-DFT Insights into Zn-Porphyrin / YD2-Type Sensitizers: A 12-Paper Digest

Overview

This set distills DFT/TD-DFT design principles for Zn-porphyrin dyes, including YD2-o-C8 references. We compare how macrocycle/anchoring groups and π-bridges tune charge-transfer strength, absorption cross-section, HOMO–LUMO gap, and light-harvesting efficiency (LHE). Several papers analyze co-sensitization/cocktail strategies (porphyrin × phthalocyanine) and interfacial/local-field effects, bridging molecular design and device-level optimization for high-efficiency DSSCs.

Why it matters / Key points

  • Macrocycle/anchor replacement modulates CT and spectral position (e.g., –COOH, –PO₃H₂).
  • π-bridge engineering (heterocycles, sulfuration) enhances visible–NIR absorption and LHE.
  • Benchmarks across YD2-o-C8, SM315, Y123 clarify complementary roles in co-sensitization.
  • Local electric fields and level alignment influence injection/recombination at the interface.
  • Cocktail/co-sensitization expands spectral coverage and can boost Jsc.
