Ternary Blend Strategy for Achieving High‐Efficiency Organic Solar Cells with Nonfullerene Acceptors Involved 下载免费PDF全文
Nonfullerene acceptors have recently drawn considerable attention in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells (OSCs). The power conversion efficiency (PCE) over 14% is achieved in single‐junction fullerene‐free OSCs, which has surpassed that of fullerene‐based counterparts. For future commercial applications, however, a high and stable PCE > 15% is required, which entails rational material design and device optimization. In this context, three approaches are generally utilized—the synthesis of novel nonfullerene acceptors and the selection of suitable polymer donors to pair with them, the tandem or multijunction device architecture, and the ternary blend strategy. Compared to the former two methods, the ternary strategy allows to employ the existing photovoltaic materials and the single‐junction device. Therefore, an exploration of nonfullerene acceptor–based ternary blend OSCs (NFTSCs) has shown unprecedented progress since 2016. This review summarizes and classifies the photovoltaic materials utilized in NFTSCs, aiming to not only exhibit the recent development of NFTSCs but also elucidate the correlation among donor/acceptor materials, film morphology, transport dynamics, and device fabrication toward high‐efficiency OSCs. Lastly, the above key advances are highlighted along with the existing issues and insights into the viable path for the further research thrusts are offered. 相似文献

The ternary structure that combines fullerene and nonfullerene acceptors in a photoactive layer is demonstrated as an effective approach for boosting the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of organic solar cells (OSCs). Here, highly efficient ternary OSCs comprising a wide‐bandgap polymer donor (PBT1‐C), a narrow‐bandgap nonfullerene acceptor (IT‐2F), and a typical fullerene derivative (PC71BM) are reported. It is found that the addition of PC71BM into the PBT1‐C:IT‐2F blend not only increases the device efficiency up to 12.2%, but also improves the ambient stability of the OSCs. Detailed investigations indicate that the improvement in photovoltaic performance benefits from synergistic effects of increased photon‐harvesting, enhanced charge separation and transport, suppressed trap‐assisted recombination, and optimized film morphology. Moreover, it is noticed that such a ternary system exhibits excellent tolerance to the PC71BM component, for which PCEs over 11.2% can be maintained throughout the whole blend ratios, higher than that (11.0%) of PBT1‐C:IT‐2F binary reference device. 相似文献

Atomic replacement on platforms of nonfullerene acceptor (NFA) with already excellent performance is expected to further optimize the energy levels, absorptions, and even charge transfer dynamics of NFAs effectively without greatly destroying their superior molecular conformations. On the basis of high-performance F-series NFAs, the structural optimization at atomic level is performed by replacing sulfur atoms in FO-2Cl with selenium atoms, thus affording a new NFA labeled as FOSe-2Cl. FOSe-2Cl not only inherits the good planar configuration of FO-2Cl, but also exhibits more suitable energy levels, redshifted absorption, enhanced molecular packing, and accelerative charge transfer/transport dynamics compared with those of FO-2Cl. With a widely used polymer PM6 as the donor, organic solar cell (OSC) based on FOSe-2Cl affords a significantly improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.94% with a reduced energy loss (Eloss) of 0.670 eV, with respect to that of FO-2Cl-based OSC with a PCE of 14.94% and Eloss of 0.706 eV. The result represents the best performance reported to date for pyran-fused NFAs and F-series NFAs-based binary OSCs, providing another promising platform to achieve the state-of-the-art OSCs in addition to the well-known Y-series NFAs. 相似文献

Wide Bandgap Molecular Acceptors with a Truxene Core for Efficient Nonfullerene Polymer Solar Cells: Linkage Position on Molecular Configuration and Photovoltaic Properties 下载免费PDF全文
Wenlin Wu Guangjun Zhang Xiaopeng Xu Shichao Wang Ying Li Qiang Peng 《Advanced functional materials》2018,28(18)
Two wide bandgap star‐shaped small molecular acceptors, para‐TrBRCN and meta‐TrBRCN , are synthesized for efficient nonfullerene polymer solar cells (PSCs). The tiny structural variation by just changing the linkage positions affects largely the inherent properties of the resulting molecules. Both molecules have a nonplanar 3D structure, which can prevent the excessively aggregation to realize the optimized morphology and ideal domain size in their active blends. Compared to para‐TrBRCN , meta‐TrBRCN exhibits the smaller distortions between the truxene skeleton and the benzothiadiazole units, which would also lead to the enhanced π–π stacking and charge transfer. When blending with PTB7‐Th, high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 10.15% and 8.28% are obtained for meta‐TrBRCN and para‐TrBRCN devices, respectively. To make up the weak absorption of above binary active blend in the longer wavelength region and increase the whole device performance further, low bandgap 3,9‐bis(2‐methylene‐(3‐(1,1‐dicyanomethylene)‐indanone)‐5,5,11,11‐tetrakis(4‐hexylthienyl)‐dithieno[2,3‐d:2′,3′‐d′]‐s‐indaceno[1,2‐b:5,6‐b′]‐dithiophene (ITIC‐Th) is added as the second acceptor material to fabricate ternary blend PSCs. After adding 20 wt% of ITIC‐Th, the resulting devices exhibit the well‐balanced optical absorption and fine‐tuned morphology, giving rise to the significantly improved PCE of 11.40% with much higher J sc of 18.25 mA cm?2 and fill factor of 70.2%. 相似文献

The vast majority of ternary organic solar cells are obtained by simply fabricating bulk heterojunction (BHJ) active layers. Due to the inappropriate distribution of donors and acceptors in the vertical direction, a new method by fabricating pseudoplanar heterojunction (PPHJ) ternary organic solar cells is proposed to better modulate the morphology of active layer. The pseudoplanar heterojunction ternary organic solar cells (P‐ternary) are fabricated by a sequential solution treatment technique, in which the donor and acceptor mixture blends are sequentially spin‐coated. As a consequence, a higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.2% is achieved with a Voc of 0.79 V, Jsc of 25.6 mA cm?2, and fill factor (FF) of 69.8% compared with the ternary BHJ system of 13.8%. At the same time, the alloyed acceptor is likely formed between two the acceptors through a series of in‐depth explorations. This work suggests that nonfullerene alloyed acceptor may have great potential to realize effective P‐ternary organic solar cells. 相似文献

A new wide bandgap polymer donor, PNDT‐ST, based on naphtho[2,3‐b:6,7‐b′]dithiophene (NDT) and 1,3‐bis(thiophen‐2‐yl)‐5,7‐bis(2‐ ethylhexyl)benzo[1,2‐c:4,5‐c′]dithiophene‐4,8‐dione (BDD) is developed for efficient nonfullerene polymer solar cells. To better match the energy levels, a new near infrared small molecule of Y6‐T is also developed. The extended π‐conjugation and less twist of PNDT‐ST provides it with higher crystallinity and stronger aggregation than the PBDT‐ST counterpart. The higher lowest occupied molecular orbital level of Y6‐T than Y6 favors the better energy level match with these polymers, resulting in improved open circuit voltage (Voc) and power conversion efficiency (PCE). The high crystallinity and strong aggregation of PNDT‐ST also induces large phase separation with poorer morphology, leading to lower fill factor and reduced PCE than PBDT‐ST. To mediate the crystallinity and optimize the morphology, PNDT‐ST and PBDT‐ST are blended together with Y6‐T, forming the ternary blend devices. As expected, the two compatible polymers allow continual optimization of the morphology by varying the blend ratio. The optimized ternary blend devices deliver a champion PCE as high as 16.57% with a very small energy loss (Eloss) of 0.521 eV. Such small Eloss is the best record for polymer solar cells with PCEs over 16% to date. 相似文献

Impact of Nonfullerene Molecular Architecture on Charge Generation,Transport, and Morphology in PTB7‐Th‐Based Organic Solar Cells 下载免费PDF全文

Despite the rapid development of nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs), the fundamental understanding on the relationship between NFA molecular architecture, morphology, and device performance is still lacking. Herein, poly[[4,8‐bis[5‐(2‐ethylhexyl)thiophene‐2‐yl]benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b0]dithiophene‐2,6‐diyl][3‐fluoro‐2‐[(2‐ethylhexyl)carbonyl]‐thieno[3,4‐b]thiophenediyl]] (PTB7‐Th) is used as the donor polymer to compare an NFA with a 3D architecture (SF‐PDI4) to a well‐studied NFA with a linear acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A) architecture (ITIC). The data suggest that the NFA ITIC with a linear molecular structure shows a better device performance due to an increase in short‐circuit current ( Jsc) and fill factor (FF) compared to the 3D SF‐PDI4. The charge generation dynamics measured by femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) reveals that the exciton dissociation process in the PTB7‐Th:ITIC films is highly efficient. In addition, the PTB7‐Th:ITIC blend shows a higher electron mobility and lower energetic disorder compared to the PTB7‐Th:SF‐PDI4 blend, leading to higher values of Jsc and FF. The compositional sensitive resonant soft X‐ray scattering (R‐SoXS) results indicate that ITIC molecules form more pure domains with reduced domain spacing, resulting in more efficient charge transport compared with the SF‐PDI4 blend. It is proposed that both the molecular structure and the corresponding morphology of ITIC play a vital role for the good solar cell device performance. 相似文献

Three asymmetric non-fullerene acceptors (LL2, LL3, and LL4) are designed and synthesized with one norbornyl-modified 1,1-dicyanomethylene-3-indanone (CBIC) terminal group and one chlorinated 1,1-dicyanomethylene-3-indanone (IC-2Cl) terminal group. The three-dimensional shape-persistent CBIC terminal group can effectively enhance the solubility and tune the packing mode of acceptors. Compared with their symmetric counterparts (LL2-2Cl, LL3-2Cl, and LL4-2Cl) bearing two IC-2Cl terminals, the asymmetric acceptors show improved solubilities, giving rise to enhanced crystallinity and favored nanomorphology for charge transport in the blend films with PBDB-T. Asymmetric acceptors based organic solar cells (OSCs) also show much lower voltage loss due to their higher ECT and EQEEL values. Therefore, they exhibit 17−27% higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) than OSCs based on the corresponding symmetric acceptors. Among these six acceptors, LL3 with a central benzotriazole core shows the best PCE of 16.82% with an outstanding Jsc of 26.97 mA cm−2 and a low nonradiative voltage loss (ΔVnr) of 0.18 V, the best values for PBDB-T based OSCs. The Jsc and ΔVnr also represent the best reported for asymmetric non-fullerene acceptors-based OSCs to date. The results demonstrate that the combination of the unique CBIC terminal group with the asymmetric strategy is a promising way to enhance the performance of OSCs. 相似文献

Despite considerable advances devoted to improving the operational stability of organic solar cells (OSCs), the metastable morphology degradation remains a challenging obstacle for their practical application. Herein, the stabilizing function of the alloy states in the photoactive layer from the perspective of controlling the aggregation characteristics of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs), is revealed. The alloy-like model is adopted separately into host donor and acceptor materials of the state-of-the-art binary PM6:BTP-4Cl blend with the self-stable polymer acceptor PDI-2T and small molecule donor DRCN5T as the third components, delivering the simultaneously enhanced photovoltaic efficiency and storage stability. In such ternary systems, two separate arguments can rationalize their operating principles: (1) the acceptor alloys strengthen the conformational rigidity of BTP-4Cl molecules to restrain the intramolecular vibrations for rapid relaxation of high-energy excited states to stabilize BTP-4Cl acceptor. (2) The donor alloys optimize the fibril network microstructure of PM6 polymer to restrict the kinetic diffusion and aggregation of BTP-4Cl molecules. According to the superior morphological stability, non-radiative defect trapping coefficients can be drastically reduced without forming the long-lived, trapped charge species in ternary blends. The results highlight the novel protective mechanisms of engineering the alloy-like composites for reinforcing the long-term stability of NFA-based ternary OSCs. 相似文献

It remains challenging to fabricate efficient, scalable large-area organic solar cells (OSCs) owing to the unfavorable morphology of photoactive blend films. To address this challenge, two asymmetric nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) IPC1CN-BBO-IC2F and IPC1CN-BBO-IC2Cl are synthesized, where 12,13-bis(2-butyloctyl)-3,9-diundecyl-12,13-dihydro-[1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-e]thieno[2′“,3′”:4′,5′]thieno[2′,3′:4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-g]thieno[2′,3′:4,5]thieno-[3,2-b]indole (BBO) is the molecular core, and two types of end groups are appended to its ends, namely the 9H-indeno[1,2-b]pyrazine-2,3,8-tricarbonitrile (IPC1CN) end group and one of 2-(5,6-dihalo-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile end groups (IC2F or IC2Cl). These NFAs facilitate effective tuning of light absorption and energy levels, offer high carrier mobilities, and allow for the formation of appropriate morphologies. Note that these benefits apply even to large-area devices, unlike typical Y6-based NFAs. In addition, a random copolymer PM6-PBDBT(55) is synthesized and its energy levels are optimally matched with those of the asymmetric NFAs. The blade-coated 1 cm2-area OSCs based on PM6-PBDBT(55):IPC1CN-BBO-IC2Cl exhibit a PCE of 14.12%, which is higher than that of PM6-PBDBT(55)-IPC1CN-BBO-IC2F-based OSCs. More importantly, the PM6-PBDBT(55):IPC1CN-BBO-IC2Cl-based large-area (58.50 cm2) modules yield an impressive PCE of 11.28% with a small cell-to-module loss in fill factor. These results suggest that a combination of the asymmetric molecular design using the IPC1CN group and the terpolymer strategy will pave a new path for fabricating highly efficient and scalable large-area OSCs. 相似文献

A new small‐molecule nonfullerene acceptor based on the benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b′]dithiophene (BDT) fused central core with asymmetrical alkoxy and thienyl side chains, namely TOBDT , is designed and synthesized. The alkoxy unit helps narrow the bandgap, and thienyl side chain helps enhance the intermolecular interaction. As a result, TOBDT is suitable to match the deep‐lying highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) of polymer donor PM6 . Then, a strong crystalline acceptor IDIC is introduced as the third component to fabricate as‐cast nonfullerene ternary devices to achieve absorption and morphology control. Addition of IDIC not only mixes well with TOBDT but modulates the morphology of the blend film, which helps to balance the charge transport properties and reduce the photovoltage loss of ternary devices. All these contribute to synergetic improvement of Jsc, Voc, and fill factor parameters, leading to a power conversion efficiency of 14.0% for the as‐cast fullerene‐free ternary device. 相似文献

Inkjet printing (IJP) is a roll-to-roll (R2R) compatible fabrication method for large-area organic solar cells (OSCs). Unlike the coating process, the films are formed through droplet leveling and merging during IJP, and the pre-deposited droplets are partly dissolved by the subsequent droplets. Such a process yields undesired printing pattern lines, especially in large-area printed films. This study reveals that such a temperature-dependent “drying lines-related” phase separation morphology has caused component variation in the organic blend films, which leads to an obvious inhomogeneity of photocurrent in the printed OSCs. Such a phenomenon is attributed to the solubility difference between organic donor and acceptor molecules in the main printing solvent. A composite solvent strategy of ortho-dichlorobenzene (oDCB)/trimethylbenzene (TMB) and tetralin (THN) is developed to solve this problem. The introduction of THN suppresses the formation of printing drying lines during high-temperature printing due to the preferential miscibility of acceptor in THN, leading to the efficiency improvement to 13.96% and 15.78% for the binary and ternary devices. In addition, the 1 cm2 device with a disruptive pattern gives an efficiency of 12.80% and a certificated efficiency of 12.18%. 相似文献

A series of perylene diimide (PDI) derivatives, TPP‐PDI , TPO‐PDI , and TPS‐PDI , are developed for nonfullerene polymer solar cells (NF‐PSCs) by flaking three PDI skeletons around 3D central cores with different configurations and electronic states, such as triphenylphosphine (TPP), triphenylphosphine monoxide (TPO), and triphenylphosphine sulfide (TPS). These small‐molecule acceptors have a “three‐wing propeller” structure due to their similar backbones. By changing the electron density of phosphorus atoms through oxidation and sulfuration, the “folding‐back” strength is decreased, resulting in a less twisted molecular conformation. The stronger electron‐withdrawing ability of the oxygen atom affords TPO‐PDI the least twisted conformation, which enhances the crystallinity of this complex. NF‐PSCs based on PTTEA : TPO‐PDI exhibit a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.65%. Ultimately, the joint “molecular lock” effect arising from O? H???F and O? H???O?P supramolecular interactions is achieved by introducing 4,4′‐biphenol as an additive, which successfully promotes fibril‐like phase separation and blend morphology optimization to generate the highest PCE of 11.01%, which is currently the highest value recorded for NF‐PSCs based on PDI acceptors. 相似文献

Nonfullerene small‐molecule acceptors (SMAs) are considered as a key component of next‐generation organic photovoltaics. Introducing functional groups to the end‐groups of “acceptor‐donor‐acceptor”‐type SMAs is a facile and convenient way to tune their optoelectronic and morphological properties. Here, molecular dynamics simulations are combined with long‐range corrected density functional theory calculations to explore the molecular‐scale impact that the position of methoxy substitution in the end‐group has on the molecular packing and electron‐transfer properties in neat films. The focus here is on 3,9‐bis(2‐methylene‐(3‐(1,1‐dicyanomethylene)‐indanone))‐5,5,11,11‐tetrakis(4‐hexylphenyl)‐dithieno [2,3‐d:2′,3′‐d′]‐s‐indaceno[1,2‐b:5,6‐b′]dithiophene (IT‐OM), where three end‐group methoxy substitution positions are evaluated. Changing the methoxy substitution position is found to influence, to different extents, the planarity of the end‐groups and thus the intermolecular packing density. The effect on the intermolecular electron‐transfer rates is also examined and leads to markedly different sizes of strongly interconnected clusters. Overall, these findings are fully consistent with the experimental evolution of electron mobility in the neat IT‐OM film as a function of methoxy substitution position. 相似文献

Nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) in blends with highly crystalline donor polymers have been shown to yield particularly high device voltage outputs, but typically more modest quantum yields for photocurrent generation as well as often lower fill factors (FF). In this study, we employ transient optical and optoelectronic analysis to elucidate the factors determining device photocurrent and FF in blends of the highly crystalline donor polymer PffBT4T‐2OD with the promising NFA FBR or the more widely studied fullerene acceptor PC71BM. Geminate recombination losses, as measured by ultrafast transient absorption spectroscopy, are observed to be significantly higher for PffBT4T‐2OD:FBR blends. This is assigned to the smaller LUMO‐LUMO offset of the PffBT4T‐2OD:FBR blends relative to PffBT4T‐2OD:PC71BM, resulting in the lower photocurrent generation efficiency obtained with FBR. Employing time delayed charge extraction measurements, these geminate recombination losses are observed to be field dependent, resulting in the lower FF observed with PffBT4T‐2OD:FBR devices. These data therefore provide a detailed understanding of the impact of acceptor design, and particularly acceptor energetics, on organic solar cell performance. Our study concludes with a discussion of the implications of these results for the design of NFAs in organic solar cells. 相似文献

The efficiency of organic solar cells (OSCs) is primarily limited by their significant nonradiative energy loss and unfavorable active layer morphology. Achieving high-efficiency OSCs by suppressing nonradiative energy loss and tuning the active layer morphology remains a challenging task. In this study, an acceptor named CH-ThCl is designed, featuring an extended conjugation central core, dichlorodithienoquinoxaline. The incorporation of chlorine-substituted extended conjugation in the central core enhances the acceptor's rigidity and promotes J-aggregation, leading to improved molecular luminescent efficiency and a reduction in nonradiative energy loss. A binary device based on PM6: CH-ThCl demonstrates a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.16% and exhibits a high open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.934 V, attributed to the remarkably low nonradiative energy loss of 0.21 eV. Furthermore, a ternary device is fabricated by incorporating CH-6F as the third component, resulting in a significantly enhanced PCE of 18.80%. The ternary device exhibits improvements in short-circuit current (Jsc) and fill factor (FF) while maintaining the Voc, primarily due to the optimized active layer morphology. These results highlight the effectiveness of combining the reduction of nonradiative energy loss and precise tuning of the active layer morphology as a viable strategy for achieving high-efficiency OSCs. 相似文献

Peripheral halogen regulations can endow non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) with enhanced features as organic semi-conductors and further boost efficient organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, based on a remarkable molecular platform of CH14 with more than six halogenation positions, a preferred NFA of CH23 is constructed by synergetic halogen swapping on both central and end units, rendering the overall enlarged molecular dipole moment, packing density and thus relative dielectric constant. Consequently, the CH23-based binary OSC reaches an excellent efficiency of 18.77% due to its improved charge transfer/transport dynamics, much better than that of 17.81% for the control OSC of CH14. This work demonstrates the great potential for further achieving state-of-the-art OSCs by delicately regulating the halogen formula on these newly explored CH-series NFAs. 相似文献

Influence of Molecular Geometry of Perylene Diimide Dimers and Polymers on Bulk Heterojunction Morphology Toward High‐Performance Nonfullerene Polymer Solar Cells 下载免费PDF全文

In this study, we investigate the influence of molecular geometry of the donor polymers and the perylene diimide dimers (di‐PDIs) on the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) morphology in the nonfullerene polymer solar cells (PSCs). The results reveal that the pseudo 2D conjugated poly[4,8‐bis(5‐(2‐ethylhexyl)thiophen‐2‐yl)benzo[1,2‐b;4,5‐b′]dithiophene‐2,6‐diyl‐alt‐(4‐(2‐ethylhexyl)‐3‐fluorothieno[3,4‐b]thiophene‐)‐2‐carboxylate‐2‐6‐diyl)] (PTB7‐Th) has better miscibility with both bay‐linked di‐PDI (B‐di‐PDI) and hydrazine‐linked di‐PDI (H‐di‐PDI) compared to its 1D analog, poly[[4,8‐bis[(2‐ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b′]dithiophene‐2,6‐diyl][3‐fluoro‐2‐[(2‐ethylhexyl)carbonyl]thieno[3,4‐b]thiophenediyl]] (PTB7), to facilitate more efficient exciton dissociation in the BHJ films. However, the face‐on oriented π–π stacking of PTB7‐Th is severely disrupted by the B‐di‐PDI due to its more flexible structure. On the contrary, the face‐on oriented π–π stacking is only slightly disrupted by the H‐di‐PDI, which has a more rigid structure to provide suitable percolation pathways for charge transport. As a result, a very high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.41% is achieved in the PTB7‐Th:H‐di‐PDI derived device. This study shows that it is critical to pair suitable polymer donor and di‐PDI‐based acceptor to obtain proper BHJ morphology for achieving high PCE in the nonfullerene PSCs. 相似文献

Small‐molecule acceptors (SMAs)‐based organic solar cells (OSCs) have exhibited great potential for achieving high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Meanwhile, developing asymmetric SMAs to improve photovoltaic performance by modulating energy level distribution and morphology has drawn lots of attention. In this work, based on the high‐performance SMA (Y6), three asymmetric SMAs are developed by substituting the fluorine atoms on the terminal group with chlorine atoms, namely SY1 (two F atoms and one Cl atom), SY2 (two F atoms and two Cl atoms), and SY3 (three Cl atoms). Y6 (four F atoms) and Y6‐4Cl (four Cl atoms) are synthesized as control molecules. As a result, SY1 exhibits the shallowest lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level and the best molecular packing among these five acceptors. Consequently, OSCs based on PM6:SY1 yield a champion PCE of 16.83% with an open‐circuit voltage (VOC) of 0.871 V, and a fill factor (FF) of 0.760, which is the best result among the five devices. The highest FF for the PM6:SY1‐based device is mainly ascribed to the most balanced charge transport and optimal morphology. This contribution provides deeper understanding of applying asymmetric molecule design method to further promote PCEs of OSCs. 相似文献

The high crystallinity and ability to harvest near‐infrared photons make diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)‐based polymers one of the most promising donors for high performing organic solar cells (OSCs). However, DPP‐based OSC devices still suffer from the trade‐off between energetic loss (Eloss) and maximum external quantum efficiency (EQEmax), which significantly hinders their potential. Thus far, the replacement of fullerenes with small molecule acceptors did not wisdom the performance development of DPP‐donor‐based solar cells due to severe charge recombination issues. In this work, efficient DPP‐based solar cells are reported using low bandgap fused ring electron acceptor, IEICO‐4F. PBDTT‐DPP:IEICO‐4F OSC devices deliver a champion power conversion efficiency of 9.66% with successful interface engineering along with low Eloss of 0.57 eV and a high EQEmax (>70%). 相似文献
