Abstract

Use The electron transfer rate (ETR) of CdSe semiconductors in contact with ruthenium N3 dye was calculated based on the electron transport theory using the quantum hypothesis of the donor-acceptor model. The electron transport rate of the ruthenium compound N3-CdSe was affected based on the calculation of the rearrangement energy, polarity, strong coupling, path length, atomic density, and concentration. The electron transport rate of the electrons was also studied and evaluated. Morpholine and ethylamine (E) solvents are used to study the electron transport rate affected by reorganization energy, force coupling, and temperature, and are analysed in N3-e devices, based on the electron transport rate results. The electron transport rate results show that the rate behavior is strongly affected by temperature, redistribution energy, force coupling, and strong coupling, which limits the movement of electrons in N3-CdSe devices.The rate, which is affected by increasing temperature and bond coupling strength as well as increasing reorganization energy, greatly affects the electron transport process and determines the electronic characteristics of N3-CdSe devices. Specifically, the electron transfer rate increases with increasing temperature and coupling between the N3 dye and CdSe..This plays a key role in increasing the electron transfer rate, as an increase in strong coupling corresponds to increased electron transfer, and vice versa.
