A Dye-sensitized Solar Cell Using an Anthraquinone Bearing Anion Recognition Moieties
A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) using an anthraquinone bearing two urea groups (as anion recognition moieties) and two carboxylic acids (as anchor moieties to the ZnO electrode) has been prepared. The DSSC causes color changes and large red shifts of IPCE by anion recognition.
