More efficient light harvesting throughout the whole solar spectrum by introducing third and fourth components offers a new pathway towards the development of high efficiency organic solar cells based on polymer/fullerene blends. Recently, dye molecules have been utilized as promising light harvesting photosensitizers in the near-IR region. Herein, we report the design, synthesis and application of a novel silicon naphthalocyanine (SiNC-1) as an efficient photosensitizer in single dye ternary devices as well as in multi-colored co-sensitized quaternary devices, incorporating a silicon phthalocyanine (SiPC-0 or SiPC-1) as the fourth component to complement the spectral absorption of the SiNC-1. The dominant complex charge transfer/transport mechanism behind the enhanced photosensitivity of the ternary blend has been investigated by means of electrical, optical, and advanced characterization techniques. External quantum efficiency (EQE) measurements on multi- colored dye sensitized devices covering the UV-vis as well as near-IR regions from 350 up to 900 nm outline apparent signal characteristics of each single dye, corroborating the effective contribution of both SiPC and SiNC dyes to enhancing the short-circuit current density (JSC). Our results further illustrate the potential of the multi- colored dye sensitization concept as a powerful approach to mitigate the non-ideal optical absorption normally encountered in organic-based optoelectronic devices.
