In the last two decades, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have attracted more attention as an efficient alternative to economical photovoltaic devices, and the highest efficiency record has increased from ∼7% to ∼14%. To be more competitive in the solar cell markets, various organic materials are investigated and used in DSSCs to improve the cell efficiency, enhance the cell durability, and reduce the cost of production. In this review article, we provide a short review on the organic materials used for the preparation of photoanodes (including metal element-free organic dye sensitizers), quasi/all-solid-state electrolytes, and metal element-free electrocatalytic films in DSSCs with the cell efficiencies of >5%. Finally, the future perspectives for DSSCs are also briefly discussed.

有机材料在染料敏化太阳能电池中的应用

在过去的 20 年中，染料敏化太阳能电池 (DSSC) 作为经济型光伏器件的有效替代品引起了更多关注，最高效率记录已从~7% 增加到~14%。为了在太阳能电池市场上更具竞争力，研究人员研究了各种有机材料并将其用于 DSSC，以提高电池效率、增强电池耐用性并降低生产成本。在这篇综述文章中，我们简要回顾了用于在 DSSC 中制备光阳极（包括无金属元素有机染料敏化剂）、准/全固态电解质和无金属元素电催化膜的有机材料。电池效率>5%。最后，还简要讨论了 DSSC 的未来前景。
