A new benchmark dye for dye-sensitized solar cell! 

A new benchmark dye for dye-sensitized solar cell! 
A new benchmark dye for dye-sensitized solar cell! In a recent Article published in JACS (Link), A/P Wu Jishan and his local/international collaborators synthesized a series of N-annulated perylene substituted and fused porphyrin dyes, which showed largely enhanced light harvesting capability in particular in the near infrared region. As a result, one of the dyes exhibited a power conversion efficiency of around 11%, which is comparable and even slightly higher than that of the benchmark dye YD2-o-C8 under same conditions.
