Triphenylamine-base organic dyes were designed and investigated for dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The dye molecules consist of three parts, an electron-donor connected by the π-conjugated linker (benzene and thiophene) as an electron spacer and an acceptor/anchoring (cyanoacrylic acid). In this study, quantum chemical calculations were used to study the electronic properties, optical properties and density of electron in the linker of dye molecule by using the density functional theory. The results present that thiophene is the most appropriate to use as electron linker between triphenylamine donor and acrylic acceptor due to the wide of absorption band and π-conjugate bond effect on exhibiting red-shifted absorption spectra.
An emissive layer, fluorene derivative, was performed for organic light-emitting device properties. The preparation of fluorene derivative thin film by spin coating and convective technique was studied the band diagram of thin films which its properties out as the energy gap (Eg). UV-Visible spectrophotometer has been used to investigate the thin film properties. The results indicates spectacular property which occurs the optical properties, fluorescence in thin film and luminescence as a green light in device that it could be applied as emissive layer for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) since the appropriate work function with cathode and anode, aluminum metal and indium tin oxide layer (ITO), respectively.
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.
