Abstract
AbstractTo meet the rising requirement of photovoltaic compounds for modernized hi-tech purpose, we designed six new molecules (DTPD1-DTPD6) from banana shaped small fullerene free chromophore (DTPR) by structural tailoring at terminal acceptors. Frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), density of states (DOS), open circuit voltage (Voc), transition density matrix (TDM) analysis, optical properties, reorganization energy value of hole and electron were determined utilizing density function theory (DFT) and time-dependent density function theory (TD-DFT) approaches, to analyze photovoltaic properties of said compounds. Band gap contraction (∆E = 2.717–2.167 eV) accompanied by larger bathochromic shift (λmax = 585.490–709.693 nm) was observed in derivatives contrary to DTPR. The FMOs, DOS and TDMs investigations explored that central acceptor moiety played significant role for charge transformation. The minimum binding energy values for DTPD1-DTPD6 demonstrated the higher exciton dissociation rate with greater charge transferal rate than DTPR, which was further endorsed by TDM and DOS analyses. A comparable Voc (1.49–2.535 V) with respect to the HOMOPBDBT–LUMOacceptor for entitled compounds was investigated. In a nutshell, all the tailored chromophores can be considered as highly efficient compounds for promising OSCs with a good Voc response.
