摘要： Graphene/polythiophene composites are widely used in a variety of optoelectronic devices and applications, e.g., as electrode materials in capacitors and solar cells, but the detailed molecular-level relationship between their structural and electronic properties is not well understood. We present a density functional theory study of these composites using model systems consisting of graphene nanosheets and nanoribbons sandwiched between oligothiophenes (up to 13 monomers in length). These systems are investigated by computing optical band gaps, UV-vis spectra, densities of states, and by analyzing noncovalent interactions in terms of the reduced density gradient. Frontier molecular orbital analysis reveals a significant decrease in the optical band gap upon increasing the concentration of graphene, which can be tuned by adjusting the proportion of graphene using larger nanoribbons. This finding has implications for device design in these materials.
