ABSTRACTWe present normal and inverted solution processed bi-layer solar cells using cationic cyanine dyes as the electron donor and a fullerene as the electron acceptor. The cells exhibit high open circuit voltages up to 1 volt showing the optimal alignment of donor and acceptor energy levels. We demonstrate the large effect that cyanine dye counter ions can have on the energetics of the solar cells and how the S-shaped current density vs. voltage (J-V) curves can be avoided.

Via this look at efforts have been made to increase a chain of latest donor-acceptor (D-A) systems through the usage of 4-methoxy-2,7,nine-trimethyl-9H-carbazole (2,7-MMCB) as a electron donor and benzo[c][1,2,5] oxadiazole (BCO); benzo[c] [1,2,5] thiadiazole (BCT); benzo[c][1,2,5]selenadiazole (BCS); [1,2,5]oxadiazolo[3,4-c]pyridine (OCP); [1,2,5] thiadiazolo [3,4-c]pyridine (TCP); [1,2,5] selenadiazolo [3,4-c]pyridine (SCP); [1,2,5] oxadiazolo[3,4-d]pyridazine (ODP); [1,2,5] thiadiazolo[3,4-d]pyridazine (TDP) as electron acceptors. In this work, we executed calculations of DFT and TD-DFT/B3LYPmethod with /6-31G basis. Calculated and explored theoretical expertise of the HOMO, LUMO oenergies, the band gap (Eg), and the open-circuit voltage (Voc) of the studied compounds. To take a look at the relationship between molecularstructure and optoelectronic properties, the consequences of the extraordinary acceptor effect on the geometries and optoelectronic residences of those substances were discussed. The outcomes acquired show how the digital residences can be modified with many lessons of acceptors through the substituent and suggest that 2,7MMCB-ODP, 2,7MM CB-TDP, and 2,7MM CB-SDP are these compounds as suitable candidates for optoelectronic packages in solar cells inclusive of BHJ.

Stimulated by a recent experimental report, charge transfer and photophysical properties of donor-acceptor ambipolar polymer were studied with the quantum chemistry calculation and the developed 3D charge difference density method. The effects of electronic acceptor strength on the structure, energy levels, electron density distribution, ionization potentials, and electron affinities were also obtained to estimate the transporting ability of hole and electron. With the developed 3D charge difference density, one visualizes the charge transfer process, distinguishes the role of molecular units, and finds the relationship between the role of DPP and excitation energy for the three polymers during photo-excitation.
