摘要: Abstract The structural, electronic and photovoltaic properties of furan-phenylene copolymer ((Fu- co -Ph) 4 ) its derivatives were evaluated using density functional theory (DFT) time-dependent (TD-DFT). calculated band gaps pristine furan phenylene are in good agreement with the available experimental data. lower gap value 2.72 eV was obtained from –NO 2 –NHCH 3 substituents, leading to broader solar absorption range. With respected reorganization energy, –OCH , –OH, -SCH –CH –CF -F substituted (Fu- structures classified as better electron donor materials. For combination PC 61 BM, –CN, –F functionalized copolymers demonstrated significantly higher open circuit voltage ( V oc values ranging 1.07 2.10 eV. Our results revealed that withdrawing group substitution on an effective way for improving optical materials used applications.
