Y123 dye

The efficiency is 10% on Solar Cell (Energy Environ. Sci., 2011, 4, 492 4924. DOI: 10.1039/C1EE02389F). In addition, it has resulted in excellent device stability at high temperatures (Jian et al., Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells (2013).

• The two dyes DN-F05 (also known as D35CPDT) and the DN-F05Y (also known as Y123) offer improved red-response in relation to DN-F04 (D35). The Y123 dye has been used to obtain 10% solar cell efficiency (Energy Environ. Sci., 2011, 4, 492 4924. DOI: 10.1039/C1EE02389F). In addition, it has resulted in excellent device stability at high temperatures (Jian et al., Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells (2013), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016//j.solmat.2013.04.017).
