With the purpose to achieve panchromatic absorption for constructing efficient dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), the cosensitization approach of using two dyes with complementary absorption has been developed with great success. However, this approach usually requires time-consuming optimization of a number of parameters for controlling the ratio and distribution of the two coadsorbed dyes on TiO2 film, which limits the potentials of this strategy. We herein report an alternative approach for developing efficient DSSCs by designing a class of concerted companion dyes with two complementary dye components linked covalently. Thus, a newly synthesized organic dye Z2 was linked to a recently reported doubly strapped porphyrin dye XW51 through flexible chains with various lengths to afford XW60-XW63. These dyes exhibit excellent absorption and efficiencies in the range of 8.8%-11.7%. Notably, upon coadsorption with chenodeoxycholic acid, XW61 affords an impressive efficiency of 12.4%, a record for iodine electrolyte-based DSSCs, to the best of our knowledge. In addition, these dyes also exhibit the advantages of easy cell fabrication, simple optimization, as well as excellent photostability.
