To dye for: Two new dyes are synthesized by structural modifications of one of the best dyes for NiO p-type dye-sensitized solar cells, which is based on a triphenylamine–dicyanovinyl donor–acceptor system. An additional thiophene unit near the anchoring group can greatly retard charge recombination...
