These novelcompounds were characterized by using FTIR, UV-vis, MS spectroscopic data andelemental analysis. Furthermore, the relationship between ZnPc and NiPcmorphology and photovoltaic properties are discussed. Among ZnPc and NiPc, theZnPc-DSSC exhibited significantly excellent photovoltaic activities under radiationof visible light. In this case, photovoltaic cell efficiencies are up to 1.139%for ZnPc, compared to an average of 0.427% for NiPc. Moreover, the ZnPc deviceprepared at room temperature exhibits relatively higher photovoltaic cellefficiency (PCE) because of the significant improvements in short-circuitphotocurrent (Jsc) and open-circuit voltage (Voc). However, a DSSC assembled with NiPc material due to metallic behavior of nickel in the structureselectrochemical reactions run at the interface between NiPc and back contact,which causes electrochemical corrosion of metal. Thus NiPc-DSSC shows lowerphotovoltaic properties than ZnPc-DSSC. KW - Phthalocyanine; Triphenylamine; DSSC; Fluorescence CR - [1] B. O’Regan, M.
