研究目的
Investigating the influence of benzothiadiazole substitution on the electronic and optoelectronic properties of conjugated polymers for use in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells.
研究成果
The introduction of benzothiadiazole groups significantly affects the electronic and optoelectronic properties of the conjugated polymers, making them promising candidates for use in organic solar cells. The compound M2, in particular, shows better electronic and optical properties, suggesting its potential as an efficient electron donor in BHJ solar cells.
研究不足
The study is theoretical and relies on computational models, which may not fully capture all real-world conditions and interactions. Experimental validation is needed to confirm the findings.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study utilized density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) calculations to analyze the geometric, electronic, and optical properties of benzothiadiazole-based conjugated polymers. The CAM-B3LYP functional and the 6-31G(d, p) basis set were employed for ground- and excited-state properties, respectively.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Two conjugated compounds containing phenyl ester were studied theoretically.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Gaussian09 package was used for DFT and TD-DFT calculations.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Geometric optimizations were performed without symmetry constraints. Electronic transitions were studied using B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) for ground-state properties and CAM-B3LYP/6-31G(d, p) for excited-state properties.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The HOMO, LUMO, and energy gap (Egap) levels were calculated. The electronic transition energies were obtained using TD-DFT.
