Abstract
The effect of direct amine substitution on the photovoltaic performance of donor–acceptor oligothiophenes in dye-sensitized and bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells was investigated. These dyes have a common donor (di-p-tolylamino), π-bridge (terthiophene), and tunable acceptors to provide new materials for evaluation in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) and BHJ solar cells. They were tested with liquid, ionic liquid, and metal-complex ...
