YD12 (
= 6.7%) is a green sensitizer remarkable for its outstanding cell performance beyond that of N719 (
= 6.1%) with no added scattering layer; the additional scattering layer assists N719 in promoting the efficiency in the red shoulder of the spectrum, but has only a small effect on the improvement of the cell performance for porphyrins.
