Multi-colored dye sensitization of polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells

Multi-colored dye-sensitized polymer/fullerene solar cells with two different near-IR dyes, silicon phthalocyanine bis(trihexylsilyl oxide) (SiPc) and silicon naphthalocyanine bis(trihexylsilyl oxide) (SiNc), enhanced power conversion efficiency up to 4.3%, compared to that of the individual ternary blend solar cells with a single dye under AM1.5G illumination.
