Computational Analysis of Triazolone-Based Dyes in DSSCs: Exploring Acceptor Terminal for Enhanced Photovoltaic Performance
摘要
We designed and built several triazolone-based dyes (TPA1-TPA5 and PTZ1-PTZ5) by modifying the structure around At-D-π-A. We studied how different donating and accepting groups affect the shape, energy levels, absorption spectra and photovoltaic behavior of these sensitizers using DFT and TDDFT calculations. We used selected functional methods to optimize the ground state of these sensitizer molecules. Our quantum chemistry calculations revealed vital molecular properties such as absorption properties, HOMO–LUMO orbital configurations, energy differences, and chemical properties indicators. The light absorption patterns and quantum data show useful evidence for applying these sensitizers in photonic systems. The performance data obtained from LHE,
