Non-Fullerene acceptors (NFAs) are getting a huge attention from the researchers across the globe to develop bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells (BHJ-OSC). In contrast with fullerene counterparts, the electronic energy levels as well as their optical properties can be tuned easily which ultimately helps to further enhance the power conversion efficiency of BHJ-OSC devices. By considering this crucial phenomenon of NFAs in OSCs, here we have designed a series of new banana-shaped NFAs (BS1-BS5) by doing end-capped modifications of BDTP-4F (R). Structural-property relationship, photo-physical, and optoelectronic properties of newly designed molecules are extensively studied by using density functional theory (DFT) and time dependent-density functional theory (TD-DFT). Furthermore, some geometric parameters like frontier molecular orbitals (FMOs), excitation and binding energy, hole-electron overlap, density of states, molecular electrostatic potential, open circuit voltage, transition density matrix, and reorganizational energy of electron and hole are also studied and compared with BDTP-4F (R). All of the designed materials (BS1-BS5) showed a red-shifting in absorption spectrum, higher electronic charge mobility, while, lower binding and excitation energies in-contrast to BDTP-4F. Much narrower HOMO-LUMO energy gaps (Eg= 1.89–1.98 eV) has been observed among all of the newly designed materials, suggesting their higher charge shifting behavior from HOMO to LUMO. In last, complex study of PTB7-Th/BS2 and PM6/BS2 also investigated in order to understand the charge shifting between donor and acceptor molecules. From all reported analysis, we concluded that our theoretical designed molecules are better than BDTP-4F (R), thus we recommend these molecules to experimentalist for future development of highly-efficient OSCs devices.

用于高性能非富勒烯有机太阳能电池的具有优异光伏性能的香蕉形受体材料的量子化学设计

非富勒烯受体(NFA)在开发整体异质结有机太阳能电池(BHJ-OSC)方面引起了全球研究人员的极大关注。与富勒烯类似物相比,可以轻松地调节电子能级及其光学性质,这最终有助于进一步提高BHJ-OSC器件的功率转换效率。通过考虑OSC中NFA的这一关键现象,在这里,我们通过对BDTP-4F(R)进行封端修饰,设计了一系列新的香蕉形NFA(BS1-BS5)。。通过使用密度泛函理论(DFT)和时间依赖密度泛函理论(TD-DFT)对新设计分子的结构-性质关系,光物理和光电性质进行了广泛的研究。此外,还研究了一些几何参数,例如前沿分子轨道(FMO),激发和结合能,空穴-电子重叠,态密度,分子静电势,开路电压,跃迁密度矩阵以及电子和空穴的重组能,并且与BDTP-4F(R)相比。所有设计的材料(BS1-BS5)的吸收光谱均发生红移,电子电荷迁移率较高,而与BDTP-4F相比,其结合能和激发能更低。在所有新设计的材料中,均观察到了更窄的HOMO-LUMO能隙(E g = 1.89–1.98 eV),这表明它们从HOMO到LUMO的电荷转移行为更高。最后,还对PTB7-Th / BS2PM6 / BS2进行了复杂的研究,以了解供体和受体分子之间的电荷转移。从所有已报告的分析中,我们得出的结论是,我们理论上设计的分子优于BDTP-4F(R),因此,我们向实验人员推荐这些分子,以用于将来开发高效OSCs器件。
