The incorporation of different 'internal acceptors' (electron traps) such as benzothiadiazole (BTD), benzotriazole (BTA), and pyridine were shown to allow systematic tuning of the energy levels and the photophysical properties. The AI-1 dye showed lower electronic disorder compared with the other two dyes. The efficiencies achieved with AI-1, AI-2, and AI-3 dyes were 8.5% (J(sc) = 15.42 mA cm(-2), V-oc = 0.78 V, FF = 68%), 7% (J(sc) = 12.8 mA cm(-2), V-oc = 0.78 V, FF = 68%) and 6.7% (J(sc) = 11.57 mA cm(-2), V-oc = 0.82 V, FF = 68.26 %), respectively. The incorporation of non-conjugated phenothiazine as a p-spacer in D-A-pi-A dyes showed remarkable enhancement in the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) devices. The sealed DSSC devices with iodide/tri-iodide (I-/I-3(-) @)based liquid electrolyte showed promising stability under ambient conditions.1 aNagane, Satyawan1 aIchake, Amol1 aAgrawal, Ishita1 aSadhanala, Aditya1 aFriend, Richard, H.1 aOgale, Satishchandra1 aWadgaonkar, Prakash, P.  uhttp://library.ncl.res.in/content/phenothiazine-based-d-%CF%80-dyes-highly-efficient-dye-sensitized-solar-cells-effect-internal01949nas a2200253   4500008004100000022001400041245010600055210006900161260000800230300002300238490000700261520108800268653001901356653001401375653002801389100002201417700001701439700002201456700001801478700002201496700001901518700002801537856013001565       2018                        eng d  a1022-976000aPhenazine-containing poly(phenylenevinylene): a new polymer with impressive field emission properties0 aPhenazinecontaining polyphenylenevinylene a new polymer with imp  cFEB  aArticle Number: 610 v253 a<p>Phenazine-containing poly(phenylenevinylene) (P(PHN-PV)) was synthesized using Wittig-Horner polycondensation of the appropriately designed monomers viz. 5,10-dioctyl-5,10-dihydrophenazine-2,7-dicarbaldehyde and tetraethyl ((2,5-bis((2-ethylhexyl) oxy)-1,4 phenylene) bis(methylene)) bis(phosphonate). The design embraces the specific motivation of incorporating the nitrogen-containing heterocycle viz. .phenazine in poly(phenylenevinylene) backbone. P(PHN-PV) exhibited reversible redox properties. In the field emission measurements performed on the film of P(F'HN-PV), the turn-on field was observed to be 1.93 V/mu m for the current density of 10 mu A/cm(2). The maximum current density of similar to 4.87 mA/cm(2) was achieved at the applied field of 3.84 V/mu m. The emission current showed impressive stability for 6 h at a constant current of 1 mu A (current density of about 20 mu A/cm(2)). These results emphasize the role of phenazine heterocycle with lone pair of electrons on nitrogen in lowering the oxidation onset and in turn reduction of the turn-on voltage.</p>10afield emission10aPhenazine10aPoly(phenylenevinylene)1 aChhatre, Shraddha1 aIchake, Amol1 aHarpale, Kashmira1 aPatil, Sumati1 aDeshpande, Aparna1 aMore, Mahendra1 aWadgaonkar, Prakash, P.  uhttp://library.ncl.res.in/content/phenazine-containing-polyphenylenevinylene-new-polymer-impressive-field-emission-properties
