Performance Regulation of Thieno[3,2-b]benzothiophene π-Spacer-Based D-π-A Organic Dyes for Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell Applications: Insights From Computational Study

Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been widely investigated; however, the development of promising dye sensitizers is still appealing. In this work, we perform a detailed theoretical search for high-efficiency D-π-A organic dyes using density functional theory and time-dependent density functio...
