| Summary: | The synthesis of 6-(4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenoxy)hexanoic acid was carried out for the
purpose of increasing the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of hybrid solar cells.
This report gives a detailed account of the synthesis process, and the characterization
of 6-(4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenoxy)hexanoic acid for use in the hybrid solar cell.
Characterisation of 6-(4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenoxy)hexanoic acid include nuclear
magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy (1H, 13C), matrix-assisted laser
desorption/ionisation-time of flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry, ultra violet
(UV) spectroscopy, photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy, differential scanning
calorimetry (DSC), and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) methods. The results
from this synthesis represent a practical approach in producing a useful amount of
6-(4-(thiophen-2-yl)phenoxy)hexanoic acid needed for uses in hybrid solar cells. |
