We report dye sensitized solar cells (DSSC) based on novel bipolar spiro compounds containing perylene and diphenylamino moiety. The corresponding compound has high extinction coefficient (~10^5 M^-1 cm^-1) and, therefore, is a potential compound for DSSCs applications. After an ultraviolet treatment of the device, the short circuit current density increases from 0.04 mA cm^-2 to 0.10 mA cm^-2 especially with t-butyl ammonium ion containing cell. In contrast, no noticeable change in current density in device containing Lithium ion has been observed.
