The performance of the created BODIPY-based dye compound in dye-sensitized solar cells is evaluated. The electrical and charge transport characteristics of the dye are examined using the density functional theory and time-dependent density functional theory. By calculating EHOMO, ELUMO, λmax, Eex, light-harvesting efficiency, reorganization energy, and the free injection energy (ΔGinj), attributes of the dye are identified. In comparison to the performance of N719 dye (5.16%), the device performance of synthesized BODIPY dye is reported to have an efficiency of 0.34%. Electrochemical outcomes are consistent with the efficiency outcomes and have a larger charge transport resistance for BODIPY (85.9 Ω) than for N719 (6.1 Ω).
