Abstract:

Herein, the structural modification of triphenylamine (TPA) organic chromophores (P-I and P-II) by the substitution of electron donor (D) groups (replacing salicylic acid and inserting a π-linkage) was investigated for solar cell applications. TPA’s capability of donating and spacer significantly impact some features such as structure, absorption, and photovoltaic features, and these changes are studied via density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (T-DFT) calculations. According to structural characteristics, the addition of TPA, π bridge, and the acceptor has an excellent co-planar conformation in P-II. Based on the computations to optimize ground-state and frequency, EHOMO, ELUMO, and energies of band gap (Eg) were specified. Consequently, we employed TD-CAM-B3LYP computations to determine the maximum wavelength of absorbance (λmax) and the strength of the oscillator (f). For P-II, the bands of absorption were augmented to ~ 653 nm. The P-II dye can be considered a suitable candidate for our solar cell application based on the obtained results.
