Benzotriazole Based 2D-conjugated Polymer Donors for High Performance Polymer Solar Cells

To design high efficiency polymer solar cells(PSCs), it is of great importance to develop suitable polymer donors that work well with the low bandgap acceptors, providing complementary absorption, forming interpenetrating networks in the active layers and minimizing energy loss. Recently, we developed a series of two-dimension-conjugated polymers based on bithienylbenzodithiophene-alt-benzotriazole backbone bearing different conjugated side chains, generally called J-series polymers. They are medium energy bandgap(Eg) polymers(Eg of ca. 1.80 eV)with strong absorptions in the range of 400-650 nm, and exhibit ordered crystalline structures, high hole mobilities, and more interestingly,tunable energy levels depending on the structure variations. In this feature article, we highlight our recent efforts on the design and synthesis of those J-series polymer donors, including an introduction on the polymer design strategy and emphasis on the crucial function of differential conjugated side chain. Finally, the future opportunities and challenges of the J-series polymers in PSCs are discussed.     

Designing Hole Transport Materials with High Hole Mobility and Outstanding Interface Properties for Perovskite Solar Cells

Organic–inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (PSCs) have attracted much attention due to their rapid increase in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs), and many efforts are devoted to further improving the PCEs. Designing highly efficient hole transport materials (HTMs) for PSCs may be one of the effective ways. Herein we theoretically designed three new HTMs (FDT−N, FDT−O, and FDT−S) by introducing a nitrogen-phenyl group, an oxygen atom, and a sulfur atom into the spiro core of an experimentally synthesized HTM (FDT), respectively. And then we performed quantum chemical calculation to study their application potential. The results show that the devices with FDT−O and FDT−S instead of FDT may have higher open circuit voltages owing to their lower highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels. Moreover, FDT−S exhibits the best hole transport performance among the studied HTMs, which may be due to the significant HOMO-HOMO overlap in the hole hopping path with the largest transfer integral. Furthermore, the results on interface properties indicate that introducing oxygen and sulfur atoms can enhance the MAPbI₃/HTM interface interaction. The present work not only offers two promising HTMs (FDT−O and FDT−S) for PSCs but also provides theoretical help for subsequent research on HTMs.     

基于侧链不对称喹喔啉聚合物的高效非富勒烯太阳电池

喹喔啉衍生物由于合成简单,易功能化,成本较低等特点在众多领域都有广泛应用。其自身具有平面刚性结构,也是构建光电聚合物的重要单体。基于喹喔啉单元的有机分子化学结构和电子结构可修饰性强,通过骨架、侧链和取代基等修饰,易于调控分子的能级和吸光光谱,因此,当使用喹喔啉体系的共轭给体与球形富勒烯受体(如PCBM)及弱结晶性非富勒烯受体(如ITIC)均可表现出优异的光伏性能。在本工作中,基于结晶性较强的非富勒烯受体(o-IDTBR),我们首次制备出侧链不对称喹喔啉(简称：不对称喹喔啉)基聚合物(TPQ-1)与之匹配。相比于侧链对称性喹喔啉(简称：对称喹喔啉)(HFQx-T)与o-IDTBR组合,“弱结晶给体-强结晶受体”组合能表现出更佳均匀的相分离尺度,从而获得更高的短路电流及能量转换效率。TPQ-1与o-IDTBR共混后器件效率为8.6%,加入15%的TB7-Th后,器件效率达到9.6%。

Efficient Polymer Solar Cells Based on Solution-processed Vanadium Oxide as Hole-extracting Layer

Here we reported the fabrication of efficient polymer solar cells from regioregular poly（3-hexylthiophene） （P3HT）：fullerene derivative [6,6]-phenyl-C61 butyric acid methyl ester （PC6jBM） mixtures, in which solution- processed vanadium oxide （VOx） was used as a hole-extracting layer （HEL）. The obtained devices exhibited a high power conversion efficiency of 3.96%, and can be enhanced to 4.06% and 4.16%, respectively, when two types of PEDOT：PSS with different conductivities were used in conjunction with the VOx layer. All the VOx-based devices showed a high fill factor （FF） over 70%, which was ascribed to efficient hole extracting efficiency associated with the solution-processed VOx hole-extracting layer. The origins of the improvement were also studied by transmission spectra, atomic force microscope （AFM）, and capacitance-voltage characteristics.     

Polymer Electron Acceptors Based on Fluorinated Isoindigo Unit for Polymer Solar Cells

Most of efficient polymer electron acceptors for polymer solar cells (PSCs) are based on naphthalene diimide or perylene diimide as the electron deficient building block. In this paper, for the first time, we report polymer electron acceptors based on fluorinated isoindigo (F‐IID) as the electron deficient building block. We synthesized two polymer electron acceptors consisting of alternating F‐IID unit and thiophene/selenophen unit. They show low‐lying LUMO/HOMO energy levels of –3.69/–5.69 eV, high electron mobilities of 1.31×10^–5 cm²·V^–1·s^–1 and broad absorption spectra with the optical bandgap of 1.61 eV. PSC devices using the two F‐IID‐based polymers as polymer electron acceptors show encouraging power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of up to 1.50% with an open‐circuit voltage (V_OC) of 0.97 V, a short‐circuit current density (J_SC) of 2.91 mA·cm^–2, and a fill factor (FF) of 53.2%. This work suggests a new kind of polymer electron acceptors based on F‐IID unit.     

Enhanced Hole Transport in Ternary Blend Polymer Solar Cells

Recently, ternary blend polymer solar cells have attracted great attention to improve a short-circuit current density (J_SC) effectively, because complementary absorption bands can harvest the solar light over a wide wavelength range from visible to near-IR region. Interestingly, some ternary blend solar cells have shown improvements not only in J_SC but also in fill factor (FF). Previously, we also reported that a ternary blend solar cell based on a low-bandgap polymer (PTB7-Th), a wide-bandgap polymer (PDCBT), and a fullerene derivative (PCBM) exhibited a higher FF than their binary analogues. Herein, we study charge transport in PTB7-Th/PDCBT/PCBM ternary blend films to address the origin of the improvement in FF. We found that hole polarons are located in PTB7-Th domains and their mobility is enhanced in the ternary blend film.
