The objective of this thesis is on the one hand to analyze the electronic properties of several dye models that can potentially be used in solar cells and on the other hand to characterize the effect of the solvent on the local structure of the dye D205 in solution and at the TiO2 interface. These investigations were carried out using quantum chemistry and molecular dynamics (MD) simulation calculations.In the first chapter of the thesis we tried to solve two problems important for describing and predicting the spectral properties of dyes for DSSCs. It was shown that the Time-Dependent DFT (TDDFT) approximation with a combination of B3LYP and CAM-B3LYP (or M06-2X) functionals with the 6-31++G(d,p) basis set can be recommended for the predic...
