Solar cells based on conjugated polymers have been gaining attention in the recent decades due to its various potential advantages. In this study, several oligothiophene derivatives based on poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) were investigated by performing density functional and time-dependent...
