Organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells are considered as a viable alternative to those energy sources currently in use. In this work three derivatives of original N,N’- dimetilaminobenziliden-1,3-indandione (DMABI) material are presented as potential materials for OPV. The photoconductivity threshold energy was evaluated from the perspective of spectral dependence of photoconductivity quantum efficiency, and the optical energy gap was defined to determine the optical absorption spectra. The absorption spectra of derivatives are blue shifted compared to original DMABI. Use of these derivatives in multilayer solar cells with original DMABI makes it possible to broaden the spectral response range of OPV.
