Organic photovoltaics represent a viable solution to ending the global energy crisis. Cheaper than their silicon based counterpart, reliable organic solar cells have experienced a growth in interest over the past decade as device performance continues to increase. The goal of our research is to produce squaraine dyes. These dyes are of interest because of their resonance stabilized zwitterion characteristic which gives them unique electrical properties when used in solar cells and in other electronic devices. Our presentation will describe the synthesis of novel squaraine dyes and initial device data.
