Bodipy (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) dyes with their high absorption coefficient values, easy modification pathways, strong electron-donor functionalities and anchoring groups for attachment to nanocrystalline TiO2 are widely used as a sensitizer in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Their applicability in solid-state electrolyte solar cells and bulk heterojunction organic solar cells are also possible with suitable designs. Here we report Bodipy dyes as potential sensitizers for efficient panchromatic sensitization in DSSCs, solid state DSSCs and bulk heterojunction solar cells.
