The phthalocyanines 1 and 2, when anchored onto nanocrystalline TiO2 films, yielded 30% incident monochromatic photon-to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) and 2% power conversion efficiencies under AM1.5 sun.phthalocyaninesnear-IR sensitizerspi-conjugated materialsdye-sensitized solar cellsmesoporous TiO2 filmsNanocrystalline Tio2 FilmsOrganic Photovoltaic CellsCharge-Transfer StatesNear-Ir SensitizationElectronic-PropertiesFullerene EnsemblesEfficientDyadsSeparationInjectionCarboxy-1,4-phenylenevinylene- and carboxy-2,6-naphthylene-vinylene unsymmetrical substituted zinc phthalocyanines for dye-sensitized solar cellstext::journal::journal article::research article
