The synthesis, characterization, and photovoltaic performance of a series of indacenodithiophene (IDT)-based D-π-A organic dyes with varying electron-accepting units is presented. By control of the electron affinity, perfectly matching energy levels were achieved with a copper(I/II)-based redox electrolyte, reaching a high open-circuit voltage (>1.1â
V) while harvesting a large fraction of solar photons at the same time. Besides achieving high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs), that is, 11.2 % under standard AMâ
1.5 G sunlight, and 28.4 % under a 1000 lux fluorescent light tube, this work provides a possible method for the design and fabrication of low-cost highly efficient DSCs.
