Two n‐type organic semiconductor (n‐OS) small molecules m‐ITIC‐2F and m‐ITIC‐4F with fluorinated 2‐(2,3‐dihydro‐3‐oxo‐1H‐inden‐1‐ylidene)propanedinitrile (IC) terminal moieties are prepared, for the application as an acceptor in polymer solar cells (PSCs), to further improve the photovoltaic performance of the n‐OS acceptor 3,9‐bis(2‐methylene‐(3‐(1,1‐dicyanomethylene) indanone) ‐5,5,11,11‐tetrakis(3‐hexylphenyl)‐dithieno[2,3‐d:2′,3′‐d′]‐sindaceno[1,2‐b:5,6‐b′]‐dithiophene (m‐ITIC). Compared to m‐ITIC, these two new acceptors show redshifted absorption, higher molecular packing order, and improved electron mobilities. The power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of the as‐cast PSCs with m‐ITIC‐2F or m‐ITIC‐4F as an acceptor and a low‐cost donor–acceptor (D–A) copolymer PTQ10 as a donor reach 11.57% and 11.64%, respectively, which are among the highest efficiency for the as‐cast PSCs so far. Furthermore, after thermal annealing treatment, improved molecular packing and enhanced phase separation are observed, and the higher PCE of 12.53% is achieved for both PSCs based on the two acceptors. The respective and unique advantage with the intrinsic high degree of order, molecular packing, and electron mobilities of these two acceptors will be suitable to match with different p‐type organic semiconductor donors for higher PCE values, which provide a great potential for the PSCs commercialization in the near future. These results indicate that rational molecular structure optimization is of great importance to further improve photovoltaic properties of the photovoltaic materials. 相似文献

Generally, highly efficient organic solar cells require both a high open‐circuit voltage (VOC) and a high short‐circuit current density (JSC). Reducing the energy loss (Eloss) is an effective way to achieve a high VOC without compromising the photocurrent, which is ideal for enhancing the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Herein, a new chlorinated nonfullerene acceptor (ITC‐2Cl) with chlorinated thiophene‐fused end groups is developed. In comparison with the unchlorinated counterpart (ITCPTC), the introduction of Cl improves not only the electronic properties by redshifting the absorption spectra and deepening the lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels, but also the molecular packing and thus thin‐film morphology. The PM6:ITC‐2Cl‐based device yields a significantly higher PCE (13.6%) with a lower Eloss (0.67 eV) than the ITCPTC‐based device (PCE of 12.3% with Eloss of 0.70 eV). More importantly, compared to the archetypal nonfullerene acceptors such as IT‐4F (PCE of 12.9% with Eloss of 0.73 eV) and IT‐4Cl (PCE of 12.7% with Eloss of 0.76 eV), the ITC‐2Cl‐based device shows a higher PCE and a lower Eloss. These results demonstrate that the chlorinated thiophene‐fused end group is a promising candidate for a high‐performance nonfullerene acceptors with low energy loss. 相似文献

The effects of alkyl chain regiochemistry on the properties of donor polymers and performances of non‐fullerene organic solar cells are investigated. Two donor polymers (PfBTAZ and PfBTAZS) are compared that have nearly identical chemical structures except for the regiochemistry of alkyl chains. The optical properties and crystallinity of two polymers are nearly identical yet the PfBTAZ:O‐IDTBR blend exhibits nearly double domain size compared to the blend based on PfBTAZS:O‐IDTBR. To reveal the origins of the very different domain size of two blends, the morphology of neat polymer films is characterized, and it is found that PfBTAZ tends to aggregate into much larger polymer fibers without the presence of O‐IDTBR. This indicates that it is not the polymer:O‐IDTBR interactions but the intrinsic aggregation properties of two polymers that determine the morphology features of neat and blend films. The stronger aggregation tendency of PfBTAZ could be explained by its more co‐planar geometry of the polymer backbone arising from the different alkyl chain regiochemistry. Combined with the similar trend observed in another set of donor polymers (PTFB‐P and PTFB‐PS), the results provide an important understanding of the structure–property relationships that could guide the development of donor polymers for non‐fullerene organic solar cells. 相似文献

Side‐chain engineering is an important strategy for optimizing photovoltaic properties of organic photovoltaic materials. In this work, the effect of alkylsilyl side‐chain structure on the photovoltaic properties of medium bandgap conjugated polymer donors is studied by synthesizing four new polymers J70 , J72 , J73 , and J74 on the basis of highly efficient polymer donor J71 by changing alkyl substituents of the alkylsilyl side chains of the polymers. And the photovoltaic properties of the five polymers are studied by fabricating polymer solar cells (PSCs) with the polymers as donor and an n‐type organic semiconductor (n‐OS) m‐ITIC as acceptor. It is found that the shorter and linear alkylsilyl side chain could afford ordered molecular packing, stronger absorption coefficient, higher charge carrier mobility, thus results in higher Jsc and fill factor values in the corresponding PSCs. While the polymers with longer or branched alkyl substituents in the trialkylsilyl group show lower‐lying highest occupied molecular orbital energy levels which leads to higher Voc of the PSCs. The PSCs based on J70 :m‐ITIC and J71 :m‐ITIC achieve power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.62 and 12.05%, respectively, which are among the top values of the PSCs reported in the literatures so far. 相似文献

Single‐layered organic solar cells (OSCs) using nonfullerene acceptors have reached 16% efficiency. Such a breakthrough has inspired new sparks for the development of the next generation of OSC materials. In addition to the optimization of electronic structure, it is important to investigate the essential solid‐state structure that guides the high efficiency of bulk heterojunction blends, which provides insight in understanding how to pair an efficient donor–acceptor mixture and refine film morphology. In this study, a thorough analysis is executed to reveal morphology details, and the results demonstrate that Y6 can form a unique 2D packing with a polymer‐like conjugated backbone oriented normal to the substrate, controlled by the processing solvent and thermal annealing conditions. Such morphology provides improved carrier transport and ultrafast hole and electron transfer, leading to improved device performance, and the best optimized device shows a power conversion efficiency of 16.88% (16.4% certified). This work reveals the importance of film morphology and the mechanism by which it affects device performance. A full set of analytical methods and processing conditions are executed to achieve high efficiency solar cells from materials design to device optimization, which will be useful in future OSC technology development. 相似文献

Various substituents have been incorporated into nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) to modulate absorption scopes and energy levels for boosting efficiencies of organic solar cells (OSCs). The manipulation of the NFAs' molecular order and crystallinity via those substitutions is equally crucial to OSC performances, which yet remains interesting and challenging. The hydroxyl group, which can potentially form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds (H‐bonds) for improving molecular arrangements, has, however, never been considered. Herein, two hydroxyl‐functionalized NFAs, IT‐OH with one hydroxyl and IT‐DOH with two hydroxyls, are synthesized to tune the molecular packing and crystallinity. The ordered molecular arrangement and higher crystallinity are observed for the IT‐OH and IT‐DOH than the parent ITIC. This is assigned to the formation of intermolecular H‐bonds induced by the hydroxyls, which elongates molecular conjugated planes leading to long‐range‐ordered structures via π–π stacking. By the appropriate crystallinity and miscibility with donor polymer, an IT‐DOH‐based nonannealed OSC affords an efficiency of 12.5% with good device stability. This work provides a promising strategy to tune the molecular packing and crystallinity to design NFAs by introducing hydroxyl groups. 相似文献

The introduction of oligomeric polystyrene (PS) side chains into the conjugated backbone is proven to enhance the processability and electronic properties of semiconducting polymers. Here, two series of donor and acceptor polymers are prepared with different molar percentages of PS side chains to elucidate the effect of their substitution arrangement on the all‐polymer solar cell performance. The observed device performance is lower when the PS side chains are substituted on the donor polymer and higher when on the acceptor polymer, indicating a clear arrangement effect of the PS side chain. The incorporation of PS side chains to the acceptor polymer contributes to the decrease in phase separation domain size in the blend films. However, the reduced domain size was still an order of magnitude larger than the typical exciton diffusion length. A detailed morphological study together with the estimation of solubility parameter of the pristine PS, donor, and acceptor polymers reveals that the relative value of solubility parameter of each component dominantly contributes to the purity of the phase separated domain, which strongly impacts the amount of generated photocurrent and overall solar cell performance. This study provides an understanding of the design strategies to improve the all‐polymer solar cells. 相似文献

Symmetry breaking provides a new material design strategy for nonfullerene small molecule acceptors (SMAs). The past 10 years have witnessed significant advances in asymmetric nonfullerene SMAs in organic solar cells (OSCs) with power conversion efficiency (PCE) increasing from ≈1% to ≈14%. In this review, the progress of asymmetric nonfullerene SMAs, including early reports of asymmetric nonfullerene SMAs, asymmetric PDI‐based nonfullerene SMAs, and asymmetric acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A)‐type nonfullerene SMAs, is summarized. The structure–property relationships and the perspectives for future development of asymmetric nonfullerene SMAs are also discussed. 相似文献

Highly efficient tandem and semitransparent (ST) polymer solar cells utilizing the same donor polymer blended with [6,6]‐phenyl‐C61‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) and [6,6]‐phenyl‐C71‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) as active layers are demonstrated. A high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.5% and a record high open‐circuit voltage of 1.71 V are achieved for a tandem cell based on a medium bandgap polymer poly(indacenodithiophene‐co‐phananthrene‐quinoxaline) (PIDT‐phanQ). In addition, this approach can also be applied to a low bandgap polymer poly[2,6‐(4,4‐bis(2‐ethylhexyl)‐4H‐cyclopenta[2,1‐b;3,4‐b′]dithiophene)‐alt‐4,7‐(5‐fluoro‐2,1,3‐benzothia‐diazole)] (PCPDTFBT), and PCEs up to 7.9% are achieved. Due to the very thin total active layer thickness, a highly efficient ST tandem cell based on PIDT‐phanQ exhibits a high PCE of 7.4%, which is the highest value reported to date for a ST solar cell. The ST device also possesses a desirable average visible transmittance (≈40%) and an excellent color rendering index (≈100), permitting its use in power‐generating window applications. 相似文献

Although the field of all‐polymer solar cells (all‐PSCs) has seen rapid progress in device efficiencies during the past few years, there are limited choices of polymer acceptors that exhibit strong absorption in the near‐IR region and achieve high open‐circuit voltage (VOC) at the same time. In this paper, an all‐PSC device is demonstrated with a 12.06% efficiency based on a new polymer acceptor (named PT‐IDTTIC) that exhibits strong absorption (maximum absorption coefficient: 2.41 × 105 cm?1) and a narrow optical bandgap (1.49 eV). Compared to previously reported polymer acceptors such as those based on the indacenodithiophene (IDT) core, the indacenodithienothiophene (IDTT) core has further extended fused ring, providing the polymer with extended absorption into the near‐IR region and also increases the electron mobility of the polymer. By blending PT‐IDTTIC with the donor polymer, PM6, a high‐efficiency all‐PSC is achieved with a small voltage loss of 0.52 V, without sacrificing JSC and FF, which demonstrates the great potential of high‐performance all‐PSCs. 相似文献

In consideration of the unique advantages of new non‐fullerene acceptors and the tandem‐junction structure, organic photovoltaics (OPVs) based on them are very promising. Studies related to this emerging area began in 2016 with achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 8–10%, which have now been boosted to 17%. In this essay, the construction of high‐performance OPVs is discussed, with a focus on combining the advantages of new non‐fullerene acceptors and the tandem‐junction structure. In order to achieve higher PCEs, methods to enable high short‐circuit current density, open‐circuit voltage, and fill factor are discussed. In addition, the stability and reproducibility of high‐efficiency OPVs are also addressed. Herein, it is forecast that the new non‐fullerene acceptors‐based tandem‐junction OPVs will become the next big wave in the field and achieve high PCEs over 20% in the near future. Some promising research directions on this emerging hot topic are proposed which may further push the field into the 25% high efficiency era and considerably advance the technology beyond laboratory research. 相似文献

Extensive efforts have been devoted during the last decade to organic solar cell research that has led to remarkable progress and achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) in excess of 10%. Among the existing flexible organic solar cells, ultrathin organic solar cells with a total thickness <10 µm have important advantages, including good mechanical bending stabilities and good conformability. These advantages have led to power generation solutions for wearable electronics. In this essay, the progress of flexible and ultrathin organic solar cells, and the future research directions pertaining to these cells are discussed based on the potential applications of textile‐compatible solar cells. Both process engineering and development of the material of ultrathin substrate films have improved the PCE of ultrathin organic solar cells, which in turn have led to the small PCE difference between flexible organic solar cells with substrate thickness >10 µm and ultrathin organic solar cells with substrate thickness ≤10 µm. Key technologies for the further improvement of PCE of flexible/ultrathin organic solar cells are discussed. Strategies to improve the stability and some important aspects, which determine the mechanical robustness of flexible organic solar cells, are also presented and discussed. 相似文献

Despite rapid advances in the field of nonfullerene polymer solar cells (NF‐PSCs), successful examples of random polymer‐based NF‐PSCs are limited. In this study, it is demonstrated that random donor polymers based on thieno[2′,3′:5′,6′]pyrido[3,4‐g ]thieno[3,2‐c ]isoquinoline‐5,11(4H ,10H )‐dione (TPTI) containing two simple thiophene (T) and bithiophene (2T) electron‐rich moieties (PTTI‐Tx ) can be promising materials for the fabrication of highly efficient NF‐PSCs. With negligible influence on optical bandgaps and energy levels, the crystalline behavior of PTTI‐Tx polymers was modulated by varying the T:2T ratio in the polymer backbone; this resulted in the formation of different microstructures upon blending with a nonfullerene m ‐ITIC acceptor in NF‐PSCs. In particular, a PTPTI‐T70:m ‐ITIC system enabled favorable small‐scale phase separation with an increased population of face‐on oriented crystallites, thereby boosting the processes of effective exciton dissociation and charge transport in the device. Consequently, the highest power conversion efficiency of 11.02% with an enhanced short‐circuit current density of 17.12 mA cm?2 is achieved for the random polymer‐based NF‐PSCs thus far. These results indicate that random terpolymerization is a simple and practical approach for the optimization of a donor polymer toward highly efficient NF‐PSCs. 相似文献

A series of four polymers containing benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b′]dithiophene (BDT) and 5,6‐difluoro‐4,7‐diiodobenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (2FBT), PBDT2FBT, PBDT2FBT‐O, PBDT2FBT‐T, and PBDT2FBT‐T‐O, are synthesized with their four different side chains, alkyl‐, alkoxy‐, alkylthienyl‐, and alkoxythienyl. Experimental results and theoretical calculations show that the molecular tuning of the side chains simultaneously influences the solubilities, energy levels, light absorption, surface tension, and intermolecular packing of the resulting polymers by altering their molecular coplanarity and electron affinity. The polymer solar cell (PSC) based on a blend of PBDT2FBT‐T/[6,6]‐phenyl‐C71‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM) exhibits the best photovoltaic performance of the four PBDT2FBT derivatives, with a high open‐circuit voltage of 0.98 V and a power conversion efficiency of 6.37%, without any processing additives, post‐treatments, or optical spacers. Furthermore, PBDT2FBT‐T‐O, which has a novel side chain alkoxythienyl, showed promising properties with the most red‐shifted absorption and strong intermolecular packing property in solid state. This study provides insight into molecular design and fabrication strategies via structural tuning of the side chains of conjugated polymers for achieving highly efficient PSCs. 相似文献

The commercially available PM6 as donor materials are used widely in highly efficient nonfullerene polymer solar cells (PSCs). In this work, different concentrations of iridium (Ir) complexes (0, 0.5, 1, 2.5, and 5 mol%) are incorporated carefully into the polymer conjugated backbone of PM6 (PM6‐Ir0), and a set of π‐conjugated polymer donors (named PM6‐Ir0.5, PM6‐Ir1, PM6‐Ir2.5, and PM6‐Ir5) are synthesized and characterized. It is demonstrated that the approach can rationally modify the molecular aggregations of polymer donors, effectively controlling the corresponding blend morphology and physical mechanisms, and finally improve the photovoltaic performance of the PM6‐Irx‐based PSCs. Among them, the best device based on PM6‐Ir1:Y6 (1:1.2, w/w) exhibits outstanding power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 17.24% tested at Wuhan University and 17.32% tested at Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences as well as a certified PCE of 16.70%, which are much higher than that of the control device based on the PM6‐Ir0:Y6 blend (15.39%). This work affords an effective approach for further break through the reported champion PCE of the binary PSCs. 相似文献
