Description

General description

cis-Bis(isothiocyanato)bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylato)ruthenium(II) (N3 dye) is a ruthenium polypyridyl based complex that can be used as a sensitizer. It is a highly stable polymer in which the photocurrent decreases with an increase in the concentration of N3 dye.

Application

Efficent DSSCs for Direct Conversion of Sunlight to Electricity

N3 dye can be coated on electrodes for improving the sensitivity of the dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) which can further enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE).
