To gather a comprehensive understanding of copper complexes as redox couples in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), a series of copper complexes were synthesized and thoroughly characterized. Characterization was undertaken using an arsenal of spectroscopic techniques, including steady-state spectroscopy, electrochemical and spectroelectrochemical assays, current-voltage measurements, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), and transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS). Starting from a homoleptic copper complex featuring two bathocuproine ligands and replacing one of them by either another N- or a P-coordinating ligand, a clear relationship between ligand size, on one hand, and charge transport, recombination as well as effective regeneration of the sensitizer, on the other hand, was established. With this information in hand, the future targeted synthesis of copper complexes to achieve maximum device performance may be achieved.
