C106 dye is a ruthenium-based sensitizer developed for high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). It achieves impressive power conversion efficiencies of 11.7–12.1% under AM 1.5G simulated sunlight, positioning it among the top-performing ruthenium complex dyes. The dye’s structure incorporates a higher degree of ligand conjugation, enhancing its optical absorption and light-harvesting capacity. Hexyl substituents impart hydrophobicity, improving electron donation to the metal center while providing steric hindrance to suppress dye aggregation and surface packing. These combined features lead to enhanced charge transfer, minimized recombination, and superior device stability, making C106 a benchmark sensitizer for efficient, durable DSSC applications.
