Adsorption of dye molecules on different positions of the B 3 O 3 nanosheet leads to the formation of the complexes with favorable adsorption energy in the range of -0.25 to -1.48 eV and the 50 to 57% percentage of change in band gap energy of the monolayer. The dye molecule is adsorbed in two forms on the B 3 O 3 surface, the complexes of the trans-isomer with a more negative adsorption energy of -1.48 eV being more stable than -1.41 eV of the cis-isomer complexes. By the adsorption of dye molecules on the pristine B 3 O 3 surface, the electronic properties of the surface change a lot, which in this work can be proved with the percentage of the changes in the gap energy of more than 50%. The present study results show that the studied substrate may be suitable for application in dye-sensitized solar cells via pairing with a desired dye molecule.","PeriodicalId":325688,"journal":{"name":"Colloid & Nanoscience Journal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115883189","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
