“…Density of state (DOS) and partial density of states (PDOS) were analyzed using Gauss Sum software [17,18], and the keyword was Iop(3/33 = 1,3/36 = -1) pop = full. For further investigating the hole mobility, Marcus theory was employed [19][20][21][22][23][24]. All calculations mentioned above were operated in the Gaussian 09 program [17].…”

To improve the hole-transport ability and photoelectric properties of perovskite solar cells, the ground-state geometry, frontier molecular orbital, and mobility of two organic molecules were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) with the Marcus hopping model. The absorption spectra were calculated using time-dependent DFT. The result indicated that the increase in the conjugated chain and change in the substituted group location from meta to para cause low mobility, which has a negative effect on the hole-transporting ability.

Five donor‐acceptor‐donor (D‐A‐D) hole transport materials (HTMs) are investigated to reveal the effect of core units on the structure‐property relationship. Structurally, the five electron‐withdrawing cores are derivatives of diazosulfide, and the bis(N, N‐bis(4‐[methoxy]phenyl))aniline segment performed as the symmetrical end‐capping. The DFT and TD‐DFT coupled with the Marcus theory are used to look into electronic structures, ground and excited state properties, charge transport mobilities, and charge transfer analyses. It is found that the HTM‐PT shows little differences in planarity, ionization potential, and solubility compared with the original molecule. Additionally, the HTM‐PT exhibits lower frontier molecular orbital (FMOs), smaller bandgap, and red‐shift than HTM‐DP. More importantly, among the four designed HTMs, the HTM‐PT shows a larger hopping rate and mobility. As the charge transfer analyses, the HTM‐PT exhibits a larger intramolecular charger transfer amount and charge transfer distance than the prototypical one, which is conducive to a larger short‐circuit current. Through the evaluation from various aspects, it is reasonable to infer that PT‐core with excellent properties has potential advantages in regulating HTMs.

“…In fact, Density Functional Theory (DFT) and Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory (TD-DFT) in combination with Marcus theory are important way to obtain the geometric structure, optical absorption and charge mobility of organic materials. [18][19][20][21][22] Some article point out that Marcus theory is used to simulate the charge transfer process, which ignores the high-frequency modes that may play an important role in the charge transfer process. [23][24][25][26] In our previous work, an important correlation between the theoretical HOMO/LUMO energy levels and the experimental HOMO/LUMO energy levels was established and can be used to evaluate the HOMO/ LUMO energy of new designed arylamine derivative-based HTMs theoretically.…”
