A new near-IR pentamethylcyanine dye sensitizer (Cy) has been synthesized via Knoevenagel condensation reaction of 3,3-dimethyl-1-ethyl-2-[4-(N-phenylacetamido)buta-1,3-dien-1-yl]-3H-benzo[e]- indolium iodide with 5-carboxyl-1-butyl-2,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium iodide and characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, ESI-MS and UV-Vis. Solidification of ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-propyl-imidazolium iodide by fumed silica R974 formed a new quasi-solid state electrolyte, which was applied to quasi-state near-IR ‘Cy-sensitized’ solar cells. It was found that the solar cell sensitized with Cy generated a power conversion efficiency of 1.49% under AM1.5G illumination (100 mW•cm-2).

Key words: near-IR cyanine dye, quasi-solid state electrolyte, photoelectrochemistry, sensitization, solar cell
