Abstract Herein, some novel metal-free 1,3,4-oxadiazole compounds O1-O7 were evaluated for Photovoltaic properties using density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT) calculations to determine if they can serve as metal-free organic dyes for the use of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). To understand the trends in the relative efficiencies of the investigated compounds as dyes in DSSCs, their electron contributions, hole contributions, and electron-hole overlaps for each respective atom and fragment within the molecule were analyzed with a particular focus on the electron densities on the anchoring segments. As transition density matrices (TDM) provide details for the departure of each electron from its corresponding hole during excitations, which results in charge transfer (CT), the charge separation distance (Δr) between the electron and its corresponding hole was studied as well as the degree of electron-hole overlap (Ʌ). The latter, single-point excitation energy of each electron, the percentage electron contribution to the anchoring segments of each compound, the incident-photon-conversion-efficiency (IPCE), charge recombination, light harvesting efficiency (LHE) electron injection (Φinj) and charge collection efficiency (ncollect) were then compared to Δr to determine whether the expected relationships hold. Moreover, parameters such as diffusion constant (Dπ) and electron lifetime (t), amongst others, were also used to describe electron excitation processes. Since IPCE is the key parameter in determining the efficiency, O3 was found to be the best dye due to its highest value.

The optical properties of metal-free and metal phthalocyanine were calculated by using density functional theory with various metals including copper, zinc, cobalt, iron and manganese. The polymorphic form of these crystals was employed only for β from. The molecules were optimized with the symmetry of D4h. For the alignments of the molecule in the crystal structures of this polymorphic form which have not been reported in detail, the variation of total energy was examined as a function of the align angles. The align angle at minimum total energy was used for the band calculation. The density functional theory and plane-wave pseudopotential method were used to calculate the energy band structure and electron density of state. The calculated band structures of various metal phthalocyanines can be divided in two groups according to the peak wavelength of the maximum absorption. The first group with the peak wavelength at about 230 nm consists of β-CuPc, β-H2Pc, and β-MnPc while the wavelength of another group for β-CoPc, β-FePc, and β-ZnPc occurs at 350 nm. From the density of state calculation, it indicates that these two transitions originate from the different band and the ratio of the absorption between these states depending on the type of metal in phthalocyanine. The optical absorption was derived to examine the absorption spectra for various metal compositions while the variation in intrinsic electrical conductivity can be estimated from the shape of the band. The phonon and infrared spectra were also determined in order to investigate the vibration mode of molecule in the crystals
