In this study, the proposed method involves the confident insertion of π-spacer fragments between donor and acceptor parts of a newly designed (A1-D-A2) molecule into the reference molecule (PP2). Frontier molecular orbitals study using MPW1PW91/6-31G(d,p) level of DFT demonstrates that all designed molecules possess a lower band gap (2.62-3.35 eV) in comparison to R (3.77 eV). The absorption properties clearly show that all the designed molecules (DD1-DD8) have higher absorption values (434.44-566.40 nm) in the gas phase and (498.65-624.01 nm) in the solvent phase compared to R values of 380.32 nm in the gas phase and 415.61 nm in the solvent phase. Significant LHE values and the lowest λ values (0.0062-0.0110 eV) are observed in the designed molecules. This study will help researchers to design molecules for the development of efficient PSCs devices.
在本研究中,所提出的方法涉及将新设计的(A1-D-A2)分子的供体和受体部分之间的π-间隔片段可靠地插入到参考分子(PP2)中。使用DFT的MPW1PW91/6-31G(d,p)水平进行的前沿分子轨道研究表明,与R(3.77 eV)相比,所有设计的分子都具有较低的带隙(2.62 - 3.35 eV)。吸收特性清楚地表明,与R在气相中的380.32 nm和在溶剂相中的415.61 nm值相比,所有设计的分子(DD1-DD8)在气相中的吸收值更高(434.44 - 566.40 nm),在溶剂相中的吸收值更高(498.65 - 624.01 nm)。在设计的分子中观察到显著的LHE值和最低的λ值(0.0062 - 0.0110 eV)。这项研究将帮助研究人员设计用于开发高效PSC器件的分子。
