Influence of Different Cations of N3 Dyes on Their Photovoltaic Performance and Stability

The N3 dye was modified by substituting two of its protons by potassium or sodium cations. The performance and stability of dye-sensitized solar cells incorporating the new dyes were evaluated under light soaking (1000 W⋅m-2) at 50∘C. Photocurrent measurements demonstrated that proton substitution...
