Experimental data for "D–A–pi–A Fused Pentacyclic Organic Dyes as Sensitizers for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Operating Under Low-Light Conditions"

Here we share the experimental data used for writing the article entitled "D–A–pi–A Fused Pentacyclic Organic Dyes as Sensitizers for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells Operating Under Low-Light Conditions" by Francesco D’Amico, Matteo Bartolini, Carmen Coppola, Adalgisa Sinicropi, Alessandro Mordini, Gianna Reginato, Massimo Calamante, Daniele Franchi, Alessio Dessì, Lorenzo Zani. The files are in the following formats: .txt, .xlsx, .pdf A short description of the files is as follows: 1) UV-Vis spectra of the final compounds in THF solution: "UV-Vis, PCD1, THF.txt"; "UV-Vis, PCD2, THF.txt"; "UV-Vis, PCD3, THF.txt". 2) UV-Vis spectra of the sensitizers after absorption on a thin TiO2 film: "UV-Vis, PCD1, TiO2.txt"; "UV-Vis, PCD2, TiO2.txt"; "UV-Vis, PCD3, TiO2.txt". 3) Fluorescence emission spectra of the final compounds in THF solution: "Emission, PCD1, THF.txt"; "Emission, PCD2, THF.txt"; "Emission, PCD3, THF.txt". 4) Cyclic voltammetries of the compounds in THF solution, with and without ferrocene as an internal standard (NOTE: potentials are reported as measured against the Ag/AgNO3 pseudo-reference electrode during the experiments): "CV PCD1_THF_no std.txt"; "CV PCD1_THF_Fc.txt"; "CV PCD2_THF_no std.txt"; "CV PCD2_THF_Fc.txt"; "CV PCD3_THF_no std.txt"; "CV PCD3_THF_Fc.txt". 6) Emission spectra of the LED sources used in the photovoltaic characterization: "Warm white LED emission.txt"; "Cold white LED emission.txt". 7) Current-voltage curves of the dye-sensitized solar cells built with the compounds developed in this work; to avoid upload of a large amount of files, data have been grouped according to the dye used and the particular kind of electrolyte empolyed in the cells. In each .xlsx file the measurements conducted under different light sources are reported in different sheets: "J-V measurements PCD1 - iodide-triiodide homemade.xlsx"; "J-V measurements PCD2 - iodide-triiodide homemade.xlsx"; "J-V measurements PCD3 - iodide-triiodide homemade.xlsx"; "J-V measurements XY1 - iodide-triiodide homemade.xlsx"; "J-V measurements PCD1 - EL-HPE.xlsx"; "J-V measurements PCD2 - EL-HPE.xlsx"; "J-V measurements PCD3 - EL-HPE.xlsx"; "J-V measurements XY1 - EL-HPE.xlsx"; "J-V measurements PCD1 - Cu(tmby).xlsx"; "J-V measurements PCD2 - Cu(tmby).xlsx"; "J-V measurements PCD3 - Cu(tmby).xlsx"; "J-V measurements XY1 - Cu(tmby).xlsx". 8) Coordinates of the optimized structures of the ground states of the compounds as derived from the computational investigation: "coordinates.pdf".
