General description

Di-tetrabutylammonium cis-bis(isothiocyanato)bis(2,2′-bipyridyl-4,4′-dicarboxylato)ruthenium(II) (N-719 dye) is a ruthenium based polypyridyl mixture used as a photosensitizer. It acts as a medium for effective absorption of photons and transfer of electrons within the electrolytic solar cells.

Application

N-719 dye is widely used as a sensitizer that can be coated on indium tin oxide (ITO) substrates by doctor blade technique, with different photoanode materials like titanium oxide (TiO2), zinc oxide (ZnO), and gold nanourchin for dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications.
