This hole-conducting co-adsorbent (HC-A) has multiple functions: a light-harvesting function as a short-wavelength light absorption dye mol. to increase Jsc, a prevention effect of π-π stacking of organic dye to enhance Voc by decreasing charge recombination, and a hole-conducting function, evidenced by EIS and transient absorption spectra for the formation of carbazole cation radical species, to enhance Voc and Jsc. As a result, a DSSC with the HC-A had improved efficiency by a factor of 1.33, compared to a similar solar cell without the HC-A. The photovoltaic performance of this DSSC exhibited a remarkably high Jsc of 17.25 mA/cm2, a Voc of 688 mV, a FF of 74.93% and a conversion efficiency of 8.89 % at 100 mW/cm2. This is the best result reported for a DSSC employing the organic dye NKX2677. The detailed kinetics for a cascade-type hole-hopping process proposed here is complicated and constitutes another topic for research.
