摘要

The study reports a molecular descriptive based design for carbon quantum dots (CQDT) to their photovoltaic (PV) performance. Taking C30H14 as an example, its new molecular systems as CQDT1-CQDT5 are optimized by Density Functional Theory (DFT). Their molecular descriptors are calculated with the help of a Python programming language package RDKit tool. Their Frontier Molecular Orbitals (FMOs) show a charge switching behavior, and UV–Vis analysis shows a redshift of their maximum absorption (λmax) values. Among their RDKit descriptors, their Bertz Complexity Topology (BertzCT) and molecular connectivity indices ( \({\chi }_{o}^{v}\) χ o v ) emerge as important for determining their Jsc. Pmax shows positive relation correlation. Further efficiency is analyzed through additional PV parameters while their electronic excitations are visualized using Multiwfn-based Transition Density Matrix (TDM) and electron–hole overlap analysis. This synergy of theoretical and molecular descriptor-related approaches could pave the way for the rational design of high-efficiency CQDTs as PV devices.
