Active enhancement of the optical absorption coefficient to improve the light converting efficiency of thin-film solar cell materials is crucial to develop the next-generation solar cell devices. Here we report first-principles calculations with generalized gradient approximation to study the optoelectronic properties of pristine and divacancy (DV) blue phosphorene (BlueP) thin films under structural deformation. We show that instead of forming sp-like covalent bonds as in the pristine BlueP layer, a DV introduces two particular dangling bonds between the voids. Using a microscopic (non-) affine deformation model, we reveal that the orbital hybridization of these dangling bonds is strongly modified in both the velocity and vorticity directions depending on the type of deformation, creating an effective light trap to enhance the material absorption efficiency. Furthermore, this successful light trap is complemented by a clear signature of σ + π plasmon when a DV BlueP layer is slightly compressive. These results demonstrate a practical approach to tailor the optoelectronic properties of low-dimensional materials and to pave a novel strategy to design functionalized solar cell devices from the bottom-up with selective defects.
