研究目的
Investigating the structural and electronic properties of bay-annulated indigo (BAI)-based oligomers for bulk heterojunction organic solar cells through a density functional theory (DFT) study.
研究成果
The study concludes that attachment of electron-withdrawing ?NO2 groups at the acceptor unit and electron-donating groups at the donor unit is favorable for better tuning of the optoelectronic properties. The designed compounds are potential candidates for application in optoelectronic devices, particularly organic solar cells.
研究不足
The study is limited to computational modeling and does not include experimental validation. The computational cost was controlled by limiting calculations to trimers (n = 3).
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection
DFT and TD-DFT calculations were performed to study the structural and electronic properties of BAI-based oligomers. The study included the calculation of dihedral angles, distortion energy, BLA parameters, band gap values, PDOS, ESP surface analysis, reorganization energy, charge transfer rates, hopping mobility values, and absorption spectra.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources
A series of oligomers based on the donor?acceptor concept were designed, with BAI as the acceptor and DAC as the donor, joined by a thiophene linkage. Various electron-withdrawing and electron-donating groups were substituted at specific positions to study their effects.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials
Computational calculations were performed using the Gaussian09 program package.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow
Geometry optimization of the oligomers was carried out using the DFT method. Solvent phase calculations were performed using DCM solvent with the CPCM model. Excited-state calculations were carried out using the TD-DFT method.
5：Data Analysis Methods
The analysis included the calculation of IP, EA, dipole moment, reorganization energy, charge transfer rate, hopping mobility, and absorption properties using various DFT and TD-DFT methodologies.
