Abstract

We present a method based on a time-dependent self-consistent density functional tight-binding (TD-DFTB) approach, able to predict the quantum efficiency of the photoinjection process in a dye–TiO2 complex from a fully atomistic picture. We studied the process of charge transfer of three systems with different dyes: catechol (CAT), alizarin (ALZ) and FSD101. Each system was excited with lasers of different energies in the range of 300–2500 nm, studying the efficiency of the induced charge transfer process at the incident energies. We show that the perturbation can produce either hole transfer or electron transfer from the dye to the nanoparticle, therefore affecting the efficiency of the charge transfer in the solar cell when illuminated by broadband radiation.

Physical Chemistry Chemical Physics (PCCP) is an international journal co-owned by 19 physical chemistry and physics societies from around the world. This journal publishes original, cutting-edge research in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysical chemistry. To be suitable for publication in PCCP, articles must include significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry; this is the most important criterion that reviewers and Editors will judge against when evaluating submissions. The journal has a broad scope and welcomes contributions spanning experiment, theory, computation and data science. Topical coverage includes spectroscopy, dynamics, kinetics, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, catalysis, surface science, quantum mechanics, quantum computing and machine learning. Interdisciplinary research areas such as polymers and soft matter, materials, nanoscience, energy, surfaces/interfaces, and biophysical chemistry are welcomed if they demonstrate significant innovation and/or insight into physical chemistry. Joined experimental/theoretical studies are particularly appreciated when complementary and based on up-to-date approaches.
