Photoluminescence spectra of the monomers in dichloromethane exhibit two intense bands at 353 and 369 nm. Two additional bands (410 and 435 nm) are also observed due to intermolecular interactions. These bands are more intense in the case of thin films, indicating stronger pp stacking interactions in the solid state. Due to the extended p-conjugation, the polycarbazoles display two main emission bands (495 and 520 nm) which are red shifted as compared to the monocarbazoles. Due to the presence of emissive platforms such as triarylbenzene and carbazole, both monomers and polymers, function as efficient sensors for the detection of polynitroaromatic analytes (PA, DNT, rho-DNB and m-DNB). The electrochemically polymerized carbazole derivatives showed maximum capacitance of 41 F/g for polyTHPBCz6. The SCLC measurement reveals a maximum mobility of 6 x 10(-6) cm(2)/Vs for polyTHPBCz4 that showed better packing due to flexible alkyl chains that connect the conjugated moieties.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">21</style></issue><custom3><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Foreign</style></custom3><custom4><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">0.00</style></custom4></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Kumar, T.

The aromatic amines, aniline and o-phenylenediamine capped TiO2 composites were synthesized via hydrothermal route and used as scattering layer in dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC). Markedly, the maximum photo-conversion efficiency of 9.84% was achieved with o-phenylenediamine capped-TiO2 composite as o-phenylenediamine capped-TiO2 showed higher reflectivity than the pristine TiO2, which is highly beneficial for reflecting the photons back to photoanode. In addition, the average life time of carriers in o-phenylenediamine capped-TiO2 was found to be 9.8 ms, which was 2 times higher than the pristine TiO2 (4.29 ms).&lt;/p&gt;

Further, rigidification of the dye structures by cyclization modulates the photophysical properties of the sensitizer. Here a series of donor-acceptor-donor (D-A-D) type far-red active unsymmetrical squaraine dyes (SQA) have been designed and synthesized, where N,N-dimethylaniline, methylated- and branched-indoline have been used as donor units. These dyes showed absorption between 629-654 nm (lambda max) with the molar extinction coefficient of 1.49-1.94x105 M-1 cm-1. Systematic enhancements in DSSC device efficiency have been observed due to the cyclization and alkyl-groups incorporation in this set of dyes which were further enhanced with the addition of chenodeoxycholic acid (CDCA). The highest DSSC device efficiency of 4.78 % (Jsc of 8.77 mA/cm2 and Voc of 692 mV) has been achieved for SQA3. The IPCE profile of SQA dyes indicates the contribution of aggregated structures for the photocurrent generation. Further, co-sensitization of SQA3 dye with a complementary visible light active dye AK4 showed the enhanced device efficiency of 6.27 % with panchromatic IPCE response. Dye rigidification, and controlled aggregation of dyes on TiO2 by means of cyclization of donor unit and introducing the alkyl groups in the dye structure synergistically improve the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) device performance. Donor-Acceptor-Donor (D-A-D) based unsymmetrical squaraine dye SQA3 showed the DSSC device performance of 4.78 %.image&lt;/p&gt;

	In DSSCs, dye regeneration efficiency and dye aggregation on the TiO2 surface can be modulated by using bulky aromatic donors wrapped with alkyl groups. Introduction of rigid aromatic rings around the donor unit of a dye will directly impact the driving force for electron injection and dye regeneration of a dye. In this work, we designed and synthesized KNS dyes with an auxiliary TAT donor integrated with a visible active squaraine dye. Here, octupolar-structured auxiliary TAT wrapped with alkyl groups is used as a strong donor and shelter to reduce the dye aggregation and charge recombination process. Further, to improve the light-harvesting efficiency and incident photon-to-current conversion efficiency of DSSC devices fabricated with KNS dyes, the central squaric acid unit has been modified by appending the electron-withdrawing dicyano group at the central squaric unit, and the trans-configured KNS1 dye was converted to cis-configured KNS2 dye. The power conversion efficiency of devices based on the KNS dyes was studied with and without 3 equivalents of CDCA by using the I-/I3 - electrolyte. Out of these devices, the KNS1: CDCA (1:3) based cell exhibited the best PCE of 6.25% with V OC of 793 mV, J SC of 11.08 mA cm-2, and ff of 71%.&lt;/p&gt;
