Donor−acceptor−donor (D-A-D) structural monomers as donor materials in polymer solar cells: a DFT/TDDFT approach

Density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) are used to investigate the ground- and excited-state properties of donor-acceptor–donor (D-A-D) monomers based on 3,6-carbazole (CB) combined with various-conjugated benzothiazole derivatives, using B3LYP and the 6–311 G basis set. To...
