Different anchoring groups such as thiophene-2-acetic and malonic acid were investigated for synthesis of new photosensitizers. The new dyes (photosensitizers) were made pure and determined by various analytical techniques. The chemical structure of synthesized materials was certified by analytical studies. UV-Visible and fluorescence spectra revealed intense fluorescence and absorption for organic photosensitizers. The cyclic voltammetry results showed that the two photosensitizers were suitable for dye sensitized solar cell preparation. The work electrode was gathered using tin (IV) oxide nanoparticles in dye-sensitized solar cells structure. The new photosensitizers and tin (IV) oxide were used for photovoltaic devices preparation. The power conversion efficiency was obtained as about 4.12 and 4.29% for Dye 1 and Dye 2, respectively.
