A Review of the Application of Organic Dyes Based on Naphthalimide in Optical and Electrical Devices.

The two technologies of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) and organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) are emerging in the development of new sources of energy and lighting, respectively. The exceptional features of these technologies, including their color, insensitivity to temperature, and high response angle, have caused their attention and development. Organic compounds play a key role in these two technologies and cause the effective response and stability of the device, so high stability, longevity, and the possibility of simple application in the structure of the structure are of great importance. Molecular engineering and the application of various substitutions to the naphthalimide core can produce promising results for the preparation of stable organic materials with diversity in properties. In this review, naphthalimides are introduced as an effective core in the preparation of lightand electricity-sensitive dyes. Its application in two technologies, DSSCs and OLED, is explained, and the different components of these technologies are briefly introduced. One of the highest efficiencies reported for dye-sensitized solar cells based on naphthalimide as photosensitizers is 10.8 %. This sensitizer has alkyl and indoline groups. Different structures of arrangement of electron donor and electron acceptor groups will be investigated and the performance efficiency of these devices will also be investigated. Studies show that the amino group is an important substitution in the preparation of naphthalamide fluorescent dyes. The presence of this group will increase the efficiency of the amplifier by up to 10 %. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
