    In response to address the constraints of fullerene analogues, scientists are constantly working on developing low-cost fullerene-free functionalization for nanoscale organic photovoltaics. During the present study, the computational design and analysis of 14 new non-fullerene dyes (IDIC-O-1 to IDIC-O-14) centered on indacenodithiophene (IDIC) core are proposed with sp2-hybridized nitrogen at varying positions. Regarding their UV–visible assessment, several long-range and range-separated functionals like B3LYP, CAM-B3LYP, ωB97XD, and APFD using the 6-311G + (d,p) basis set have been employed to identify their optimal level of density functional theory (DFT) with an impressive correlation at the CAM-B3LYP level. Their global hardness (η) and global electrophilicity (ω) natures show their persistent nature. The energy gaps (Egaps) are lesser than IDIC and IDIC-O to imply an easier electronic transition. When contrasted to the IDIC-O, the findings indicate that its broad absorption spectrum had a redshift. The efficient HOMO → LUMO-based CT was investigated, and an open-circuit voltage (Voc) study is done on HOMOIDIC → LUMOAcceptor. All dyes have their Voc values lower than reference (IDIC-O) except IDIC-O-11 with a positive value. These lower reorganization energies (RE) for holes and electrons indicate a greater charge transfer (CT). When contrasted to the IDIC-O, the newly designed dyes have better characteristics for solar cell performance.
