| Research Abstract |
Chlorophyll based dye-sensitized solar solar cells have been studied. The light-harvesting efficiencies of chlorophyll solar cells were improved by either using bacteriochlorophyll derivative or co-sensitization of chlorin and porphyrin based sensitizers. The electron injection and charge collection efficiencies were improved upon molecular engineering of chlorin macrocycle. A highest solar energy-to-electricity conversion efficiency of up to 8% has been achieved.
