It is found that newly synthesized coumarin derivatives work as highly efficient photosensitizers for dye-sensitized nanocrystalline TiO2 solar cells producing a 5.6% solar-light-to-electricity conversion efficiency, the highest efficiency so far among organic dye-sensitized solar cells, with a short-circuit current density of 13.8 mA cm−2, an open-circuit photovoltage of 0.63 V, and a fill factor of 0.63 under standard AM 1.5 irradiation (100 mW cm−2).
Hara et al. (2001) studied this question.
