Push–pull effect on the geometries, electronic and optical properties of thiophene based dye-sensitized solar cell materials

Geometries, electronic structure and electronic absorption spectra of thiophene based dye-sensitized solar cells were performed using Density Functional Theory (DFT) and time dependent density functional theory (TD-DFT). Different electron donating and electron withdrawing groups have been substitut...
