AB  - In this work, we reported two new quinoxaline-based sensitizers (BQI and BQII) 
      for p-type dye-sensitized solar cells (p-DSSCs) featuring carboxylic acid and 
      pyridine as anchoring groups, respectively, in combination with triphenylamine 
      donor. The optical, electrochemical and photovoltaic properties of BQI and BQII 
      were investigated. Results showed that BQI-based p-DSSC with carboxylic acid 
      anchoring group obtained higher photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of 
      0.140%. To further optimize the device performance, we added a layer of TiO(2) on 
      the surface of NiO film as a barrier layer, which contributed to the improvement 
      of the photocurrent density from 3.00 to 3.84mAcm(-2). The p-DSSCs based on BQI 
      reached the PCE of 0.20% at an irradiance of 100mWcm(-2) simulated AM1.5 
      sunlight. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) analysis indicated that 
      the hole recombination resistance of p-DSSCs with TiO(2) barrier layer was larger 
      than that of the naked NiO film. Meanwhile, the surface profile of TiO(2) on NiO 
      film was verified by scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) 
      and the time of flight-secondary ion mass spectrometry (TOF-SIMS).
