研究目的
Investigating the computational protocol for precise prediction of dye-sensitized solar cell performance, focusing on the quantitative calculation of short-circuit current density (JSC) and open-circuit photovoltage (VOC) for three D-π-A organic dyes with different donors.
研究成果
The computational protocol demonstrates predictive power for assessing DSSC performance, with less than 10% deviation between theoretical and experimental results. Dimethoxybenzene substituted indoline is identified as a more suitable donor when combined with TTP as π bridge and cyanoacrylic acid as acceptor. The study highlights the importance of both core and substituted groups in determining dye properties.
研究不足
The study acknowledges limitations in accuracy due to simplification of structures, possible aggregation effects, and calculation errors. It also notes the neglect of electron recombination between dye cations and injected electrons in TiO2, and other device fabrication-related factors.
