A significant
increase in the photocurrent generation during light
soaking for solar cells sensitized by the triphenylamine-based D−π–A
organic dyes (PD2 and LEG1) and mediated by cobalt bipyridine redox
complexes has been observed and investigated. The crucial role of
the electrolyte has been identified in the performance improvement.
Control experiments based on a pre-treatment strategy reveals TBP
as the origin. The increase in the current and IPCE has been interpreted by the interfacial charge-transfer kinetics
studies. A slow component in the injection kinetics was exposed for
this system. This change explains the increase in the electron lifetime
and collection efficiency. Photoelectron spectroscopic measurements
show energy shifts at the dye/TiO2 interface, leading us
to formulate a hypothesis with respect to an electrolyte-induced dye
reorganization at the surface.
