Abstract
In this study, the synthesis of cobalt phthalocyanine dye pigment was carried out, and the corresponding reaction equation for its formation was provided. Also, density functional theory calculations based on quantum chemical parameters of the isoindole ligand in the cobalt phthalocyanine complex were performed to determine the electronic properties of the complex. The synthesized cobalt phthalocyanine pigment was thoroughly characterized by thermal analysis and Raman spectroscopy. Thermal analysis revealed the pigment's thermal stability and decomposition temperatures, while Raman spectroscopy provided information about its molecular structure and chemical bonding. Furthermore, the optical properties of the pigment, such as absorption and photoluminescence spectra in various solvents, were investigated to evaluate its light absorption ability and emission intensity. In addition, the current and voltage values obtained by solar cells sensitized with a natural pigment based on raspberry fruit extract and a dye based on cobalt phthalocyanine pigment were compared for 10 days. As a result, it was noted that the obtained solar cell based on cobalt phthalocyanine pigment is resistant to aggressive environments and produces high power. The results indicate that the pigment is a promising material not only for industrial dyes but also for high-performance optical applications and dye-sensitized solar cells.
