研究目的
Investigating the effect of electron withdrawing/donating groups on the sensitizing action of the novel organic dye for N-type Dye Sensitized Solar Cells.
研究成果
The study concludes that adding electron withdrawing groups at specific positions can lead to a higher efficiency of the dye. Electron donating substituted dyes generally exhibit better efficiencies than electron withdrawing substituted dyes. The efficiency of dyes in dye sensitized solar cells can be controlled by substitution of various electron donating and electron withdrawing groups at different positions of the dye.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and based on computational models. Experimental validation is required to confirm the predictions. The focus is on qualitative trends rather than quantitative aspects.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
DFT and TDDFT calculations were performed to study the effect of substituting different electron withdrawing and donating groups on the D5 dye. The study focused on analyzing the geometry, charge distribution, electron injection, and absorbance spectra.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The novel organic D5 dye was used as the primary structure. Different electron withdrawing and donating groups were substituted at various positions.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Gaussian 09 package was used for DFT and TDDFT calculations. Acetonitrile was chosen as the solvent.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
