In present study, a progression of low bandgap carbazole molecules was developed and rendered to
increase their performance for organic solar cells. Thus, a design of D-A monomers from 2,7-carbazole
donors (D) and a few acceptors (A) based D-A monomers was attempted. The calculation of the
electronic and optical properties of the D-A monomers considered was based on the techniques of
DFT and TD-DFT at the level of B3LYP with a basis set of 6-31G (d) in the gas and chlorobenzene.
The HOMO and LUMO orbital energies, the bandgap energy (Eg), and the open-circuit voltage (VOC)
were calculated in the gas and solvent phase. The impacts of the acceptor groups on the calculations
and optoelectronic properties of these D-A monomers are discussed in the study of the link between
the electronic structure and the optoelectronic properties. Some of these D-A monomers suggested
that the after-effects of this work are a good possibility for formation of organic solar cells.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
