Optoelectronic Characterization of Natural Dyes in the Quest for Enhanced Performance in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: A Density Functional Theory Study

Optoelectronic Characterization of Natural Dyes in the Quest for Enhanced Performance in Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells: A Density Functional Theory Study

This study employs density functional theory (DFT) to evaluate the optoelectronic features of five natural dyes (cyanidin, delphinidin, pelargonidin, peonidin, and petunidin) in gas and ethanol phases for potential dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) applications. Calculations cover HOMO and LUMO energ...
