碩士 === 國立中央大學 === 化學研究所 === 98 === With increasing renewable energy demands, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) are being explored extensively for photovoltaic applications because of their versatility and low cost of manufacture. In these cells the sensitizer is one of the key components, harvesting the solar radiation and converting it to electric current. To date, the only ruthenium sensitizers for DSSC applications that have been described in the literature are those bearing bipyridine or polypyridine ligands. But ruthenium metal is not full in the earth，therefore enhances the cost of manufacture. We design the new class of organic dye with different metal like Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Pd, Pt were used complex with compound as sensitizer. We hope the kind of Metal salen-ligand complexes could get good performance in DSSCs.
