| Abstract | In this work, we report synthesis and device fabrication studies of four metal-free D–A-type dyes (A1–A4) based on structurally simple N,N-dimethyl-4-vinyl aniline carrying four different acceptor/anchoring groups, as sensitizers for sensitizing photoanode (TiO$_{2}$). In the sensitizers, N,N-dimethylaniline ring acts as an electron donor, while barbituric acid, N,N-dimethyl barbituric acid, thiobarbituric acid and N,N-diethyl thiobarbituric acid function as electron acceptor/anchoring units. They were synthesized in good yield via Knoevenagel protocol in neutral condition without any catalyst. Further, they were subjected to structural, electrochemical and optical characterization in order to evaluate their structure, band gap and absorption/emission behavior. The studies reveal that all the four dyes have thermodynamic feasibility of electron injection as well as electron recombination; their optical band gaps were found to be in the range of 2.35–2.56 eV. High-quality crystals of A2 and A4 were grown by slow evaporation technique using its solution with 1:1 pet ether (60–80 °C)/ethyl acetate solvent mixture at room temperature. Their SC-XRD studies disclose that the crystals are in the triclinic system with space group P-1. Further, DFT studies were performed using Turbomole V7.1 software package to evaluate their optimized geometry and HOMO and LUMO levels. Finally, DSSC device fabricated with the dye A1 showed relatively good efficiency when compared to other dyes mainly due to the effective binding of barbituric acid on the surface of TiO$_{2}$ through NH or OH functional group. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
