A DFT Study on Theoretical Investigation of Application of Combining Pristine C60 and doped C60 with Silicon and Germanium Atoms for Solar cells | Chapter 4 | Challenges and Advances in Chemical Science Vol. 3

 In the recent decade, there has been a lot of research into solar energy and how it can be converted to electricity. A p-type semiconductor serves as the donor, while an n-type semiconductor serves as the acceptor in solar cells. In an organic solar cell, organic polymers are employed as organic semiconductors. This study looks at the basic structure of a solar cell using Fullerene C60 as a donor and C60 doped derivatives with Silicon and Germanium atoms as acceptors. This study examines the theoretical UV-VIS spectrum of the chosen donors-acceptors, as well as their absorption wavelengths, oscillator strength, and maximum coefficient absorptions of these solar cells, in addition to employing associated equations.
