Abstract

Abstract A new crosslinkable light sensitizer, Ru (2, 2′-bipyridine-4, 4′-bicarboxylic acid)(4, 4′-bis (11-dodecenyl)-2, 2′-bipyridine)(NCS) 2, denoted as Ru-C for titanium oxide nanocrystalline-based solar cells was synthesized with its crosslinking properties invesitigated by Fourier-transform infrared and UV-vis absorption spectroscopies. After crosslinking by itself or copolymerizing with methyacrylic acid, their sensitized solar cells ...
