Abstract

In this work, the current flow rate in a RUN3 solar cell was calculated using a [Ru(dcbpyH₂)₂(NCS)₂] sensor where dcbpyH₂-4,4′-dicarboxyl-2,2′bipyridine when it came into contact with zinc oxide (ZnO) in a chloroform solution.A quantitative scenario was used to study the current flow rate in order to understand the efficiency of the RUN3-ZnO solar cell. The increasing demand for higher solar cell efficiency has led to the search for high current flow rate in solar cell systems.The electronic current flow rate played a signiﬁcant role in characteristics of efficiency for RUN3-ZnO device. The current flow rate was evaluated using quantum processing with a connected model of the reorganization energy, and a quasi-quantum model of the electron drive energy, potential, and coupling interference.The current flow rate results showed a strong dependence on the reorganization energy, voltage, and coupling strength. These factors were calculated, and their effects on current density were discussed theoretically in this system using MATLAB software. The electrical current absorption spectra of the RUN3-ZnO compound, calculated at different values of reorganization energy and coupling strength, were analyzed to determine the appropriate solvent from among the seven solvents used, as well as the corresponding pKa values for its ground state. The current flow rate results show a strong dependence on the transfer energy and voltage. It increases as the transfer energy and voltage decrease, and vice versa.The data indicate that the electron current is high (≈ 10⁷ eV) for the N3/ZnO device when using chloroform solvent, compared to its lowest value (≈ 10⁶ eV)when using methanol solvent at an operating power ∆FE⁰ = 0.3 eV.
