Chemical modification-induced enhancements in quantum dot photovoltaics: a theoretical and molecular descriptive analysis
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 (
