Main achievements - The association of the Dyesol DSL30NRD-T paste as transparent layer and Dyesol DSL18NR-AO as scattering layer provides the best photovoltaic performance in combination with the heteroleptic C101 dye. - A low temperature grafting approach has been optimized which gives champion photon-toelectron conversion efficiency of 11.9 % using the C101 dye. - New heteroleptic Ru-dye, coded Z991, based on two thiophene attached to the bipyridine unit has been successfully synthesized and the preliminary results show outstanding performance (above 12 % efficiency), in this respect we are ahead of the project. Based on these results our focus for next year will be optimization of Z991 dye and other near IR dyes to achieve the targeted 13 % efficiency as deliverables of D14. References [1] Y. Chiba, A.
