目前新型有機染料敏化太陽能電池專注於化合物的設計，合成和性質。茚諾喹啉（IQN）化合物是一種拓撲異構酶I抑製劑，最有活性的抗癌劑之一，並且具有良好的化學穩定性和可見光吸收寬廣的特性，其在於IQN核心是相連共軛四環系統，所以適合應用於染料敏化太陽能電池。 此論文之設計原理和策略，在於利用IQN作為開發新的有機化合物之核心，並合成多種基於茚並異喹啉的新化合物，分別利用於染料敏化太陽能電池的染料和鈣鈦礦太陽能電池中的電洞傳輸層。這些合成出來的化合物，光學和電子性質是適合用於此兩種領域，而且除了以上性質之外，也同時在持續探討其他光電特性 ;The current studies were focused on the design, synthesis, and characterization of new organic compounds for applications in solar cells. Indenoisoquinoline (IQN) compounds are a class of topoisomerase I inhibitors, one of the most active anti-cancer agents and have high chemical stability as well as broad absorption characteristics in the visible region. The IQN core is a tetracyclic fused conjugated system of indene and isoquinoline, which provides an extended conjugation. In the following, the design principle and strategies to utilize the IQN core as a building block in the development of new organic compounds will be discussed. Various new compounds based on indenoisoquinoline were synthesized to be employed as sensitizers and hole transporting layers in dye sensitized solar cells and perovskite solar cells, respectively. The optical and electronic properties of these compounds are apparently promising and their photovoltaic properties are under investigation.
