摘要

Two carbazole-based donor–acceptor dyes, CBZ-Gly and CBZ-EG, featuring glycerol- and ethylene glycol-like side chains, were designed and synthesized to achieve synergistic compatibility with DES-based electrolytes, and systematically investigate their impact on DSSCs performance. These dyes were tested in DSSCs employing two neat deep eutectic solvent (DES) electrolytes (choline chloride/ethylene glycol and choline chloride/glycerol) under both simulated sunlight (AM 1.5G) and indoor lighting (1000 lux). By combining molecular-level dye design with a tailored DES-based electrolyte, we achieved an improvement in long-term device stability over several months and demonstrated a record indoor power conversion efficiency of 9.4%, thereby establishing a new benchmark for fully sustainable, DES-based DSSCs under low-light conditions.
