A theoretical study on four organic dyes based on bis(4-hexyloxy)triphenylamine as donor and electron acceptor cyanoacrylic acid with a donor–π–acceptor structure (D–π–(D–A–)–A) using DFT/DFT (TD-DFT)/6-31G( d , p ) having a difference of π spacer was designed. The theoretical study of the structural, electronic and optical properties of these dyes (D1, D4) suggests that these materials would be excellent sensitizers as a candidate for the production of dye solar cells, due to the efficient photoinduced electron transfer and strong absorption as well as the electronic properties (HOMO, LUMO, E gap ) low band gap, The improved light-harvesting efficiency and free energy change of electron injection (Δ G inject ), of new designed sensitizers revealed that these materials would be excellent sensitizers. This theoretical designing paves the way for experimentalists to synthesize more efficient sensitizers for solar cells.
