Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="toc"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <graphic position="anchor" id="ga" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgjn2nz7xp" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" />Five thiazolothiazole-based dyes, bearing electronrich ProDOT groups, were used as sensitizers in thin-layer DSSCs (active area: 0.25–3.6 cm²; TiO₂ thickness: 3.0–6.5 μm), giving efficiencies up to 7.71% coupled with excellent stability over 1000 h.</p> </abstract>
