Abstract

In this study, we have developed a series of eight non-fullerene acceptors, con-stituting A-D-A type small molecules named (SS1–SS8) to enlighten the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and the efficacy of pre-existed SR (reference) molecule.Density functional theory has been adopted to computationally assess the opto-electronic features of fabricated molecules with the B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level oftheory. Several factors like charge transfer, light absorption, binding energy,dipole moment, and reorganization energy are studied. The frontier orbitalsanalysis revealed that all the newly developed molecules have less bandgap(ranging from 1.97 to 2.22 eV) than SR (2.23 eV). Similarly, these newly engi-neered molecules also revealed better light absorption by screening remarkableredshift from 676.23 to 789.28 nm than SR (673.83 nm) in chloroform. Thesemolecules have remarkably reduced excitation energy ranging from 1.71 to1.83 eV than SR 1.84 eV. The exclusive CT analysis is carried out via J61:SS8complex because of the higher Voc of SS8 (acceptor). Additionally, SS8 hasshown the least energy loss, making it a strong contender to be used to developimproved OSCs. Because of the exceptionally improved characteristics, these newly engineered molecules (especially SS8) can be considered potential aspi-rants for fabricating proficient OSCs.
