abstract

the research in new organic π-conjugated molecules with specific properties has become one of the most interesting topics in fields of materials chemistry. these materials are promising for optoelectronic device technology such as solar cells. on the other hand, the use of low band gap materials is a viable method for better harvesting of the solar spectrum and increasing its efficiency. the control of this parameter is essential to predict and study the electronic parameters for possible applications in optoelectronics. in this work, quantum chemical investigations have been performed to explore the optical and electronic properties of two compounds based on carbazole. firstly, we have determined the effect of grafting the fluorine atoms on their opto-electronic and physico-chemical properties. in addition to the solubility in the polar solvents and the modification in geometric parameters, the substitution of fluorine destabilize the homo and lumo levels, decreases the band gap energy and raises conjugation length. electronic, optical and photovoltaic properties have been reported in order to predict the bhj solar cell device efficiency for studied compounds.

3,6-Carbazole vs 2,7-carbazole: A comparative study of hole-transporting polymeric materials for inorganic–organic hybrid perovskite solar cells

The ever increasing demand for clean energy has encouraged researchers to intensively investigate environmentally friendly photovoltaic devices. Inorganic-organic hybrid perovskite solar cells (PSCs) are very promising due to their potentials of easy fabrication processes and high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Designing hole-transporting materials (HTMs) is one of the key factors in ach...
