Development of New Computational Approaches to Predict the UV-Vis Behavior of Charge Transfer Organic Dyes and Application to Novel Silole Containing Dyes

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSC's) have received much attention since their invention in 1991. These solar cells are cheap to manufacture, durable, and use low toxicity components. Dyes used for DSC's often exhibit charge transfer character upon absorption of light. Predicting dye behav...
