Synthesis, Characterization, and Studies on Photophysical Properties of Rhodamine Derivatives and Metal Complexes in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.

ABSTRACT: Rhodamine 6G dyes are low-cost, highly soluble fluorescent dyes frequently utilized as laser dyes, chemical sensors, and as tracer dyes in the determination of the direction and rate of flow of water. In this study, the photophysical properties of three rhodamine 6G dyes, bearing phenyl (P15), furan (P41), and 5-hydroxymethyl furan (P45), and their metal complexes were investigated using ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis) spectroscopy, fluorescence spectroscopy, fluorescence lifetime, and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements. Rhodamine 6G dyes and their complexes were subsequently applied as sensitizing dyes in the fabrication of dye-sensitized solar cells, and the solar to electric power efficiency and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements were perfo
