Description

RUTHENIUM COMPLEX AND PHOTOELECTRIC COMPONENT USING THE SAME BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1.Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a ruthenium complex and a photoelectric component using the same and, more particularly, to a ruthenium complex, which is used for the dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), and a photoelectric component using the same.
Description of Related Art With the development of industrial technology, the serious problems that the whole world is facing today are the energy crisis and the environmental pollution. In order to solve the global energy crisis and to reduce the environmental pollution, one of the effective means is the solar cell, which can convert the solar energy into the electricity. Since the dye-sensitized solar cell has the advantages of low manufacturing cost, large—scale production, great flexibility, light transmittance, and being capable of use in the buildings, the application of the dye-sensitized solar cell becomes more and more attractive.
Currently, Gratzel et al. have disclosed a series of literatures, for example, O’Regan, B.; Gréitzel, M. Nature 1991, 353, 737, which show the practicability of the dye-sensitized solar cell. The general structure of the dye-sensitized solar cell comprises an anode, a cathode, a nano-porous titanium dioxide layer, a dye, and electrolyte, wherein the dye plays a critical role in the conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell. The dye suitable for the dye-sensitized solar cell must have characteristics in broad absorption spectrum, high molar absorption coefficient, thermal stability, and light stability.
Gréitzel’s lab has published a serious of ruthenium complexes as the dyes for the dye-sensitized solar cell. Gréitzel’s lab published a dye-sensitized solar cell prepared with a N3 dye in 1993, and the conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell is 10.0% under the illumination of AM 1.5 stimulated light. The incident photon—to-current conversion efficiency (IPCE) value of the N3 dye is 80% in the range of 400 to 600 nm.
Although hundreds of dye complexes have developed, the conversion efficiency of those dye complexes is not as good as the N3 dye. The structure of the N3 dye is represented by the following formula (a).
COOH (a) In 2003, Gréitzel’s lab published a dye-sensitized solar cell prepared with a N719 dye, and the conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell is improved to 10.85% under the illumination of AM 1.5 stimulated light, wherein the structure of the N719 dye is represented by the following formula (b).
COOTBA (b) Gréitzel’s lab also published a dye-sensitized solar cell prepared with a black dye in 2004, and the conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell is 11.04% under the illumination of AM 1.5 stimulated light. The black dye can enhance the spectral response in red and near-IR region, so the conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell can be improved. The structure of the black dye is represented by the following formula (c).
COOTBA In addition to the ruthenium complexes such as the N3 dye, the N719 dye, and the black dye, other types of dye compounds, which can be used in the dye-sensitized solar cell, are platinum complexes, osmium complexes, iron complexes, and copper complexes. However, the results of various researches show that the conversion efficiency of the ruthenium complexes is still better than other types of dye compounds.
The dyes for the dye—sensitized solar cell influence the conversion efficiency greatly. Hence, it is desirable to provide a dye compound, which can improve the conversion efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention is to provide a novel ruthenium complex, which is used for a dye-sensitized solar cell to improve the photoelectric efficiency of the dye-sensitized solar cell.

Then, the reaction solution is concentrated to obtain a viscous liquid. The viscous liquid is dissolved in methanol, and the diethyl ether is added thereto to precipitate a product.
After the wet solid product is dried under vacuum for 1 day, the dried solid product is dissolved in distilled water, and the pH Value of the resulted solution is adjusted below 5 with 0.1 M nitric acidm). Finally, the ruthenium complex of formula (I-1) is obtained.

Preferably, the material of the transparent substrate is a transparent material, which has good moisture resistance, solvent resistance and weather resistance. Thus, the dye—sensitized solar cell can resist moisture or gas from outsides by the transparent substrate. The specific examples of the transparent substrate include, but are not limited to, transparent inorganic substrate, such as quartz and glass; transparent plastic substrate, such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN), polycarbonate (PC), polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyimide (PI).
