研究目的
To design and theoretically study four new organic dyes with a donor–π–acceptor structure for use in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), focusing on their structural, electronic, and optical properties to identify potential candidates for improving DSSC efficiency.
研究成果
The theoretical study suggests that the designed dyes, especially D4, exhibit favorable properties for DSSC applications, including efficient photoinduced electron transfer, strong absorption, and suitable electronic properties. The findings provide a foundation for experimental synthesis of these dyes.
研究不足
The study is theoretical, and the actual performance of the dyes in DSSCs may vary due to factors not considered in simulations, such as solvent effects and solid-state interactions.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed DFT and TD-DFT methods with the B3LYP functional and 6-31G(d,p) basis set for geometry optimization and electronic properties analysis. CAM-B3LYP/6-31G(d,p) was used for electronic transitions and optical properties.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Four organic dyes (D1-D4) were designed with variations in the π-spacer unit to study their effects on dye properties.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Gaussian 09 package was used for all calculations.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Geometric optimizations were performed without symmetry constraints. Electronic transitions, absorption spectra, and other properties were calculated using TD-DFT.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Analyzed HOMO, LUMO energies, energy gaps (Egap), light-harvesting efficiency (LHE), and electron injection driving force (ΔGinject).
