Abstract

A novel ligand, 5,5′-(2,2′-bipyridine-4,4′-diyl)-bis(thiophene-2-carboxylic acid) (BTC), and its RuII complex (BTC-1) in which the anchoring group is attached to the thiophene units were developed. Using a low-volatility electrolyte and 3.3 μm mesoporous TiO2 films BTC-1 achieved a solar-to-electricity conversion efficiency of 6.1%, compared to 4.8% for N719 under the same experimental conditions.
