研究目的
Investigating the significance of five membered heterocycles in fine tuning the HOMO-LUMO gap of simple donor-acceptor systems as organic solar cell materials using a DFT approach.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated that substituting different five-membered heterocycles in a simple donor-acceptor system can significantly reduce the HOMO-LUMO gap, suggesting their potential application in the development of organic solar cells. The aromaticity and charge delocalization contributed by the heterocycles were key factors in tuning the electronic properties.
研究不足
