高结晶度方酸菁染料全溶液制备平面异质结有机太阳能电池

高结晶度有机半导体材料由于分子紧密堆叠,电荷迁移率高,但其在普通有机溶剂中溶解度低,溶液可加工性较差,限制了其在有机光电产品中的应用。本文设计合成了一种甲基修饰的高结晶度方酸菁类染料(DM-SQ),利用三氟乙酸溶剂溶液涂布制备DM-SQ薄膜。研究发现溶液制备的DM-SQ薄膜结晶度高,与真空沉积的DM-SQ薄膜比较,空穴迁移率更高(5.28×10_^-4 vs. 7.53×10_^-5 cm_² v_^-1 s_^-1)。以DM-SQ作为给体,PC₆₁BM作为受体,制备了平面异质结太阳能电池。溶液法制备的器件平均能量转换效率明显高于真空沉积器件(6.08±0.19％和3.56±0.22％)。

丁基黄药在CuO表面吸附的二维连续在线原位ATR-FTIR光谱研究

运用连续在线原位衰减全反射傅里叶变换红外光谱(ATR-FTIR)技术测定了纳米CuO表面对丁基黄药的吸附行为. 在FTIR 谱图中发现有峰的红移现象,吸收峰由1200 cm^-1偏移到1193 cm^-1,用超纯去离子水脱附,峰强度只有微小的变化,可判断丁基黄药在CuO表面发生了很强的化学吸附. 通过对吸附行为进行二维(2D)红外光谱分析,分辨出吸附过程中光谱强度的变化顺序. 二维异步相关光谱测定结果表明,1265 cm^-1处振动吸收峰最先引起光谱强度的变化,1265 cm^-1处吸收峰可归因为表面反应生成的双黄药和黄药分子聚集体的复合峰. 根据1200 cm^-1处黄药特征吸收峰强度的变化,进行吸附动力学模拟,得出CuO对丁基黄药的最大吸附量为529 mg·g^-1,且吸附符合拟二级吸附动力学过程.

An acrylated fullerene derivative for efficient and thermally stable polymer solar cells

The continuous microstructure evolution occurring in active layers of polymer-fullerene solar cells is one of the main causes for their device instability. With aim to tackle it, this work developed a new polymerizable fullerene acceptor, [6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁-butyl acrylate (PC₆₁BA). It was found that PC₆₁BA has similar light-absorption properties and HOMO and LUMO energy levels as [6,6]-phenyl-C₆₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PC₆₁BM), and can be converted into insoluble oligomers upon heating at 150 °C. Polymer-fullerene solar cells using poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) as donor and PC₆₁BA as acceptor exhibited an optimized efficiency of 3.54%, the performance comparable to P3HT/PC₆₁BM cells (optimized efficiency: 3.70%). But, the former possess much better thermal stability than the latter owing to aggregation suppression by the polymerized PC₆₁BA. These results indicate that PC₆₁BA, unlike most previous reported, is a unique polymerizable fullerene derivative that can be used alone as acceptor to achieve both efficient and thermally stable polymer solar cells.     

Diketopyrrolopyrrole-based conjugated polymers as additives to optimize morphology for polymer solar cells

Novel random copolymers for optimizing the morphology of the active layer for high performance organic photovoltaic devices have been demonstrated. Three ternary random copolymers PTBDTDPPSi CN(3/7), PTBDTDPPSi CN(5/5), PTBDTDPPSi CN(7/3) were prepared by polymerization of electron-donating thienyl-substituted benzodithiophene(TBDT) with 2,5-bis[8-(1,1,3,3,5,5,5-heptamethyltrisiloxane-3-yl)octly]-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione(DPPSi) and 2,5-dio[5-(5-cyano-5,5-dimethyl-pentyl)]-3,6-dithiophen-2-yl-pyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole-1,4-dione(DPPCN) of different ratios. The DPPCN block can well-tune the light absorption and molecular packing, while the DPPSi block is in favor of enhancing the charge mobility. And the formation of organic Si―O―Si networks is beneficial to stabilize the morphology of the active layer. These new copolymers have narrow bandgaps and broaden visible light absorption from 500 nm to 1000 nm. Careful balance of the contents of the trimethoxysilyl group and the cyano group can well-tune the surface energy and morphology of the copolymers. Incorporation of these novel copolymers as additives into the blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C60-butyric acid methyl ester(PC_(61)BM) is found to effectively broaden the light absorption, improve the compatibility and morphology of the active layer. As a result, some devices with certain ratios of these copolymers as additives achieve the enhanced efficiency compared with the device based on pristine P3HT:PC_(61)BM.     

Improved photovoltaic performance from high quality perovskite thin film grown with the assistance of PC<Subscript>71</Subscript>BM

The strategy of sequentially spin-coating a perovskite film from the perovskite precursor and an electron transporting layer of [6,6]-phenyl-C₇₁-butyric acid methyl ester (PC₇₁BM) is developed to simplify the fabrication procedure of perovskite solar cells. X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy indicate that PC₇₁BM film on perovskite layer can retard the evaporation of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) efficiently, thus prolonging the transformation of intermediate phase to perovskite crystals, leading to a high quality perovskite thin film. The solar cells with the structure of indium tin oxides (ITO)/poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS)/CH₃NH₃PbI₃/PC₇₁BM/bathocuproine (BCP)/Ag made from this simplified method exhibit a higher efficiency (12.68%) than those from the conventional one-step method (9.49%).     

Physical mechanisms responsible for the water-induced degradation of PC61BM P3HT photovoltaic thin films

We show that [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC₆₁BM) at the surface of thin film blends of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT):PC₆₁BM can be patterned by water. Using a series of heating and cooling steps, water droplets condense onto the blend film surface. This is possible due to the liquid-like, water swollen layer of poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate. Breath pattern water deformation and subsequent drying on the film surface results in isolated PC₆₁BM structures, showing that migration of PC₆₁BM takes place. This was confirmed by selective wavelength illumination to spatially map the photoluminescence from the P3HT and PC₆₁BM. Within a device, redistribution of the surface PC₆₁BM into aggregates would be catastrophic, as it would markedly alter device performance. We also postulate that repeated volume change of the poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate layer by water swelling may be, in part, responsible for the delamination failure mechanism in thin film solar cells devices. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Efficient P3HT:PC61BM solar cells employing 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene as the processing additives

The efficiency of the poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl C_(61)-butyric acid methyl ester(PC_(61)BM) based organic solar cells was enhanced by using 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene(TCB) as a processing additive to control the blend morphology. The addition of TCB improved the arrangement of P3HT which resulted in good phase separated blend films. Correspondingly, the optimized solar cells showed a power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 4.17% with a fill factor(FF) of 0.69, which were higher than those of common thermal annealing devices(PCE 3.84%, FF 0.67). The efficiency was further improved to 4.74% by thermal annealing at 150 °C for 10 min with a higher FF of 0.74.     

Enhanced efficiency of ternary organic solar cells by doping a polymer material in P3HT:PC61BM

Doping a low‐bandgap polymer material (PDTBDT‐DTNT) as a complementary electron donor in poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]‐phenyl‐C₆₁‐butyricacid methyl ester (PC₆₁BM) blend is experimented to improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs). The PCE of OSCs was increased from 3.19% to 3.75% by doping 10 wt% PDTBDT‐DTNT, which was 17.55% higher than that of the OSCs based on binary blend of P3HT:PC₆₁BM (host cells). The short‐circuit current density (J_sc) was increased to 10.11 mA·cm⁻² compared with the host cells. Although the PCE improvement could partly be attributed to more photon harvest for complementary absorption of 2 donors by doping appropriate PDTBDT‐DTNT, the promotion of charge separation and transport as well as the suppression of charge recombination due to a matrix of cascade energy levels is also important. And the better morphology of the active layer films is beneficial to the optimized performance of ternary devices.     

Aqueous solution-processed NiOx anode buffer layers applicable for polymer solar cells

A green and facile method has been developed for the room temperature and aqueous solution preparation of NiO_x film as anode buffer layers for polymer solar cells (PSCs). The NiO_x buffer layer is prepared simply by spin-coating nickel acetylacetonate precursor-based aqueous solution onto ITO substrate at room temperature in air. UV-ozone post-treatment promotes the formation of dipolar NiOOH species on the film surface, resulting in the anode buffer layer with suitable work function. PSCs have been fabricated with the device structure of ITO/NiO_x/photoactive layer/PFN/Al. The power conversion efficiencies of the PSCs based on PTB7:PC₇₁BM blends (8.43%) and P3HT:PC₇₁BM blends (3.04%) with NiO_x anode buffer layer are comparable to those with the commonly used PEDOT:PSS anode buffer layer. In addition, the devices made with NiO_x buffer layer exhibit much better air stability than those with PEDOT:PSS. These results indicate that the water solution processed NiO_x film at room temperature in air is a promising anode buffer layer for efficient and stable PSCs. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J.

Bay‐annulated indigo based near‐infrared sensitive polymer for organic solar cells

A new conjugated polymer (PBAIIDTT) based on bay‐annulated indigo and indacenodithieno[3,2‐b]thiophene was designed, synthesized, and characterized. PBAIIDTT shows strong absorption in 400–500 and 600–800 nm, and its HOMO and LUMO energy levels are −5.45 eV and −3.65 eV, respectively. In organic field‐effect transistors, the polymer exhibits a relatively high hole mobility of 0.39 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹. PBAIIDTT was added to poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl‐C₆₁‐butyric acid methyl ester (PC₆₁BM) based organic solar cells. Ternary blend solar cells with 10% PBAIIDTT show an increased short circuit current density due to the broadened photocurrent generated in the near‐infrared region, and a power conversion efficiency of 3.78%, which is higher than that of the P3HT:PC₆₁BM binary control devices (3.33%). © 2017 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
