They yield promising power conversion efficiencies of up to 5.5% and high open circuit voltages up to 0.82 V. This work demonstrates that the BDF chromophore acts as an effective donor in organic sensitizers.Benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b ']difuran-based sensitizers for dye-sensitized solar cellstext::journal::journal article::research article
