U.2016-02-082016-02-0820112041-6520http://hdl.handle.net/11693/21927Versatility of Bodipy (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) dyes was further expanded in recent dye-sensitized solar cell applications. Here we report a series of derivatives designed to address earlier problems in Bodipy sensitized solar cells. In the best case example, an overall efficiency of a modest 2.46% was achieved, but panchromatic nature of the dyes is quite impressive. This is the best reported efficiency in liquid electrolyte solar cells with Bodipy dyes as photosensitizers.EnglishDye sensitized solar cellLiquid electrolytesOverall efficiencyChromophoresPhotosensitizersSolar cellsArticle10.1039/c0sc00649a2041-6539
