Side-chain engineering has been demonstrated as an effective method for fine-tuning the optical, electrical, and morphological properties of organic semiconductors toward efficient organic solar cells (OSCs). In this work, three isomeric non-fullerene small molecule acceptors (SMAs), named BTP-4F-T2C8, BTP-4F-T2EH and BTP-4F-T3EH, with linear and branched alkyl chains substituted on the α or β positions of thiophene as the side chains, were synthesized and systematically investigated. The results demonstrate that the size and substitution position of alkyl side chains can greatly affect the electronic properties, molecular packing as well as crystallinity of the SMAs. After blending with donor polymer D18-Cl, the prominent device performance of 18.25% was achieved by the BTP-4F-T3EH-based solar cells, which is higher than those of the BTP-4F-T2EH-based (17.41%) and BTP-4F-T2C8-based (15.92%) ones. The enhanced performance of the BTP-4F-T3EH-based devices is attributed to its stronger crystallinity, higher electron mobility, suppressed biomolecular recombination, and the appropriate intermolecular interaction with the donor polymer. This work reveals that the side chain isomerization strategy can be a practical way in tuning the molecular packing and blend morphology for improving the performance of organic solar cells.
2-fluorobenzoic acid (2-HFBA) and 2,2′-bipyridine (2,2′-bpy) was used as ligands to react with lanthanum to obtain a complex, [La(2-FBA)3·(2,2′-bpy)]2. The structure of the complex contains three independent molecules. In two of them, the two central metal ions are connected together through four 2-FBA groups by bidentate bridging and chelating-bridging two modes. In another, the two central metal ions are connected together through four bidentate bridging 2-FBA groups. 相似文献
[structure: see text] Thiophene dendrons and dendrimers were designed and synthesized using a convergent approach. Metal-mediated coupling reactions were used in the synthesis. A rational approach allowed the formation of alphaalpha, betabeta, and alphabeta linkages between the dendrons and thiophene units. 相似文献
Based on sonochemical technique, large-scale PbS nanobelts are successfully synthesized in the mixed solution of PbCl2 and Na2S2O3. These nanobelts are characterized using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), selected area electronic diffraction, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and high-resolution TEM. The as-synthesized PbS nanobelts have width of about 80 nm, length up to several millimeters, and width-to-thickness ratio of about 5. In addition, the growth mechanism of PbS nanobelts is suggested. 相似文献
In common fluorescence process, molecular excitation is caused by the absorption of at least a single photon with shorter wavelength. When certain laser is used as the pump source, some compounds can be excited by simultaneous absorption of at least two photons and then the emission of up-converted fluorescence may occur. This process is called two-photon excited fluorescence (TPEF)1,2. Because of several advantages of TPEF, including intrinsic high three-dimensional resolution and the p… 相似文献
