Abstract:
A sensitizer in a dye-sensitized solar cell, including a compound of formula (I′) where: R1 and R2 are hydrogen, a halogen, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, a hetaryl group, an alkoxy group, an aryloxy group, an arylthio group, a hetaryloxy group, a hetarylthio group, a diarylamino group, or a dialkylamino group; m, n are each independently an integer from 0-4; X is sulfur, oxygen, or NR3, where R3 is hydrogen, an alkyl group, a cycloalkyl group, an aryl group, or a hetaryl group; Y1 is oxygen or N—Z-A, where A is —COOM, —SO3M, or —PO3M, where M is hydrogen, an alkali metal cation, or [NR′]4+, where each R′ is independently hydrogen or an alkyl group, and where Z is C1-C6-alkylene or 1,4-phenylene, where the phenylene radical is optionally substituted by one or more alkyl, nitro, cyano, and halogen substituents.
Abstract:
Thin layers or films of metal oxides are used as a semiconductor material of solar cells and they are coated with a sensitizer to achieve the high absorption of sunlight. Various dyes have been used as sensitizers in solar cells. Rylene monoimide derivatives are developed as photosensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cells and as photodetectors. The Rylene monoimide derivatives have very good quantum efficiencies, particularly in the NIR region of the absorption spectrum.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to compounds of formula (I), which are characterized in that they substituted by benzimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazo-5-yl and/or benzimidazo[1,2-a]benzimidazo-2,5-ylene groups and in that at least one of the substituents B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B6, B7 and B8 represents N; a process for their production and their use in electronic devices, especially electroluminescent devices. When used as host material for phosphorescent emitters in electroluminescent devices, the compounds of formula I may provide improved efficiency, stability, manufacturability, or spectral characteristics of electroluminescent devices.
