Abstract We investigate the subleading-power corrections to the exclusive B → Dℓν ℓ form factors at O $$ mathcal{O} $$ ( α s 0 $$ {alpha}_s^0 $$ ) in the light-cone sum rules navy drapery fabric (LCSR) framework by including the two- and three-particle higher-twist contributions from the B-meson light-cone distribution amplitudes up to the twist-six accuracy, by taking into account the subleading terms in expanding the hard-collinear charm-quark propagator, and by evaluating the hadronic matrix element of the subleading effective current.Employing further the available leading-power results for the semileptonic B → D form factors at the next-to- leading-logarithmic level and combining our improved LCSR predictions with the recent lattice determinations, we then carry out a comprehensive phenomenological analysis on the semi-leptonic B → Dℓν ℓ decay.We extract V cb = 40.
