摘 要:A solubility model for Merocyanine-540 dye together with the interface’s electron transfer kinetics of MC-540/TiO2 has been investigated(Merocyanine 540-based dye has been used effectively in dye-sensitized solar cells).The highest absorption peaks were recorded at 489 nm and 493 nm in Water and Ethanol solvent,*** vacuum phase which yielded 495 nm(associated with a modest electron injection-free energy value(Ginj)of−2.34 eV for both Water and Ethanol solvents).The time-dependent density functional theory(TD-DFT)method approach has been applied in this ***,the electronic structure and simulated UV-Vis spectra of the dye in different solvents have been determined,and the alignment with the solar spectrum has been discussed to a certain *** energy level diagrams and electron density of the primary molecular orbitals are shown,and the major issues that have an impact on our new interface’s performance are *** is concluded that the proposed Solvation Model(SM)can improve the performance of Dye-Sensitized Solar Cells.
