The study designed a series of novel Z-shaped electron acceptor molecules based on chrysene and investigated their photovoltaic and electronic properties through calculations, revealing that these molecules exhibit good photovoltaic parameters and may be suitable for organic solar cells.
Chrysene core containing fused ring acceptormaterials have remarkable efficiency for high performance organic solar cells. Therefore, present study has been carried out with the aim to design chrysene based novel Z-shaped electron acceptor molecules (Z1-Z6) fromfamous Z-shaped photovoltaicmaterial FCIC (R) for organic photovoltaic applications. End-capped engineering at two electron-accepting end groups 1,1-dicyanomethylene-3-indanone of FCIC is made with highly efficient end-capped acceptor moieties and impact of end-capped modifications on structure-property relationship, photovoltaic and electronic properties of newly designed molecules (Z1-Z6) has been studied in detail through DFT and TDDFT calculations. The efficiencies of the designed molecules are evaluated through energy gaps, exciton binding energy along with transition density matrix (TDM) analysis, reorganizational energy of electron and hole, absorption maxima and open circuit voltage of investigated molecules. The designed molecules exhibit red-shift and intense absorption in near-infrared region (683-749 nm) of UV-Vis-NIR absorption spectrum with narrowing of HOMO-LUMO energy gap from 2.31 eV in R to 1.95 in eV in Z5. Moreover, reduction in reorganization energy of electron from 0.0071 (R) to 0.0049 (Z5), and enhancement in open circuit voltage from 1.08 V in R to 1.20 V in Z5 are also observed. Twisted Z-shape of designed molecules prevents self-aggregation that facilitates miscibility of donor and acceptor. Low values of binding energy, excitation energy, and reorganizational energy (electron and hole) suggest that novel designed molecules offer high charge mobilities as compared to FCIC. Our findings indicate that these novel designed molecules can display better photovoltaic parameters and are suitable candidates if used in organic solar cells. (C) 2020 Elsevier B.V.
