Summary: New anthracene-bridged organic dyes CXC12 and CXC22 are designed and synthesized for high-efficiency dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) under dim light. The addition of anthracene-acetylene group in CXC dyes extends the pi-conjugation of the molecules, resulting in improved absorption and molar extinction coefficient. Among the three anthracene-based dyes, CXC22 shows the most appropriate molecular structure for light harvesting and balancing dye loading and molecular aggregation, achieving a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 37.07% under dim-light conditions.

Summary: In the context of increasing population, the importance of renewable and sustainable energy alternatives is emphasized. Scientists are focusing on producing cost-effective and high-performance clean energy appliances to meet the growing demand. Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are highlighted as a leading material in modern solar cell technologies, with metal-free organic dyes like carbazole (CZ), triphenylamine (TPA), and phenothiazine (PTZ) derivatives being identified as suitable alternatives to traditional complexes. This review primarily discusses the latest developments in using CZ, TPA, and PTZ scaffolds for DSSC applications, emphasizing the correlation between molecular design and photovoltaic performance. Adjusting the physical properties of devices through strategic sensitizer design can improve device performance, with photovoltaic parameters presented for all dyes and application insights on CZ, TPA, and PTZ-based dyes provided following a systematic review.

Summary: The study explored a series of amphiphilic indoline-based unsymmetrical squaraine dyes, where alkyl groups and glycolic chain were systematically modified to control self-assembly and improve interfacial properties. In nonaqueous DSSCs, increasing the number of carbon atoms in alkyl groups enhanced photovoltaic efficiencies. Addition of chenodeoxycholic acid improved efficiency, while increased carbon atoms in the alkyl groups had a detrimental effect on aqueous DSSC efficiency.

Summary: In this study, near-infrared-absorbing anionic heptamethine cyanine (HMC) dyes were synthesized and their photostability and halochromic properties were investigated. By substituting the methyl groups of the anionic HMC dye with phenyl or perfluorophenyl groups, the maximum absorption wavelengths of the dye solutions were red-shifted, and the photostability of the dye in solution under white LED irradiation was improved. The anionic HMC dye with methyl groups exhibited halochromic properties, causing the solution color to change from green to yellow in the presence of acids. This study presents the first reported anionic HMC dye with halochromic properties. Additionally, a stimuli-responsive filter paper adsorbed with anionic HMC dyes was developed, showing color changes from green to yellow upon exposure to HCl gas and from yellow to green upon subsequent exposure to NH3 gas.

Summary: A series of perfluoronaphthalene-based donor-acceptor-donor fluorescent dyes were successfully synthesized using a one-step route. The perfluoronaphthalene moiety served as a good electron-accepting aromatic ring with excellent intramolecular charge transfer properties. Replacing the naphthalene ring with perfluoronaphthalene stabilized the energy levels and reduced the energy band gap, leading to a change in the emission color. Among the synthesized dyes, those with diphenylamino groups showed the highest fluorescence quantum yields in solution and film, while the dye with carbazoyl group exhibited the highest fluorescence quantum yield in the crystalline state.

Summary: A new anionic heptamethine cyanine (HMC) dye with two trifluoromethyl groups has been synthesized, which selectively absorbs near-infrared light. Compared with previously studied anionic HMC dyes with substituents such as methyl, phenyl, and pentafluorophenyl groups, the trifluoromethylated dye exhibits a red-shifted maximum absorption wavelength (e.g. 948 nm in CH2Cl2) and enhanced photostability. Furthermore, HMC dyes with broad absorption in the near-infrared region are synthesized by combining a trifluoromethylated anionic HMC dye with a cationic HMC dye as a counterion.
