Dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) offer a promising, cost-effective alternative to conventional photovoltaic systems. Organic sensitizers, capable of capturing a broad spectrum of sunlight, are key components in DSSCs, but their development and testing are often time-consuming and expensive. Quantum chemical calculations, specifically Density Functional Theory (DFT), have emerged as valuable tools to evaluate potential dye candidates, streamlining the design process and reducing costs. This study investigated the molecular structures and photophysical properties of three common dye classes used in high-performance DSSCs: natural pigments, anthocyanidin pigments, and squaraine dyes. Employing DFT and time-dependent DFT (TD-DFT) at the B3LYP/6-31G level, key parameters such as the HOMO-LUMO energy gap, free energy differences for electron injection and dye regeneration, short-circuit current density, total reorganization energy, and open-circuit voltage were analyzed. Additionally, maximum absorption wavelengths and oscillator strength values were calculated. Our findings provide valuable insights into the optical and electrical properties of these natural dyes, aiding DSSC manufacturers in selecting optimal sensitizers. This research highlights the potential of computational methods in accelerating dye development and improving the overall efficiency of DSSC technology.
