研究目的
Investigating the design and electronic properties of a new subphthalocyanine-based 3-D covalent organic framework (NEUCOF1) for co-crystalline organic photovoltaics (OPVs) to overcome the trade-off between surface area and structural order in current OPV architectures.
研究成果
The designed NEUCOF1 framework and its co-crystals with C60 show promising structural and electronic properties for next-generation co-crystalline OPV devices. The high internal surface area of the COF combined with directional charge transport via columns of acceptor molecules could overcome the competition between D-A surface area and long-range order in current OPV architectures.
研究不足
The study is based on computational models and simulations, which may not fully capture all aspects of experimental conditions. The PBE functional underestimates band gaps, and the computational cost of hybrid DFT methods is prohibitive for large systems.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Plane-wave density functional theory (PBE) was used to minimize the geometries of NEUCOF1 and NEUCOF1–C60 co-crystals and determine their electronic band structures. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations were performed to assess the structural stability of NEUCOF1-C60 dispersion-bound complexes at OPV operating conditions.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study focused on the NEUCOF1 framework and its co-crystals with fullerene (C60).

4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Initial models of NEUCOF1 and COF-C60 co-crystals were relaxed using a variable cell algorithm. Band structures, densities-of-states (DOS), and Γ-point partial charge densities were computed for these relaxed structures. MD simulations were performed to determine the stability of COF-C60 co-crystals at elevated temperatures.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The band structures and DOS were analyzed to determine the electronic properties of NEUCOF1 and its co-crystals with C60. RMSD analysis was used to assess the stability of MD simulations.
