研究目的
To synthesize and evaluate a new photosensitizer, PCA-ZnPc-2, for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and photoelectrochemical cells for hydrogen production under visible irradiation.
研究成果
PCA-ZnPc-2 showed higher electron-donating ability and suppressed dye aggregation on TiO2 compared to PCA-ZnPc-1, making it a promising photosensitizer for harvesting the red/near-IR regions in DSSCs and photoelectrochemical cells for hydrogen production.
