dc.description.abstractHerein, we report the molecular design, synthesis and characterization of three new D-D-?-A configured metal-free chromophores D1-3 for their application in DSSCs as sensitizers as well as co-sensitizers. The new entities comprise carbazole as donor scaffold, 4-methoxyphenyl group as auxiliary donor and three different units, viz. cyanoacetic acid, 2, 4-thiazolidinedione and barbituric acid as acceptor/anchoring groups. Their photochemical, electrochemical and theoretical studies were carried out in order to assess their feasibility as active sensitizers. Further, D1-3 were exploited as co-sensitizers along with NCSU-10 dye. Their photoelectrochemical performances and charge transport properties in fabricated DSSCs were studied. The results revealed that D1 sensitizer displayed the highest PCE of 2.20% among the three dyes. D3 when co-sensitized with NCSU-10 displayed an improved PCE of 8.32% (JSC = 19.25 mA.cm?2, VOC = 0.680 V, FF = 63.7%) while NCSU-10 alone exhibited PCE of 8.25% (JSC = 20.41 mA.cm?2, VOC = 0.667 V, FF = 60.6%). 2017 Elsevier Ltden_US
