Abstract

Herein, the synthesis, photophysics and electrochemistry of new pentacenes, which are applied in dye-sensitized solar cells, are presented. The electrolyte is optimized using Li⁺ as an additive to enhance electron injection, giving rise to a unique injection event. This leads to a 3-fold increase from previous efficiencies in pentacene-based DSSCs.
