Two novel ruthenium complexes, MR-1 and MR-2 were synthesized for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Under similar fabrication conditions, the photovoltaic performances of these dyes were evaluated and compared to the standard ruthenium complex N719. MR-1 and MR-2 showed the efficiencies of...
