小分子优先结晶构筑聚合物/非富勒烯共混体系互穿网络结构

非富勒烯小分子受体(SMAs)有序聚集决定聚合物/非富勒烯共混体系光伏电池的双分子复合几率。 然而,由于非对称相分离聚合物趋于优先形成网络,抑制小分子受体分子结晶。 在聚[(2,6-(4,8-二(5-(2-乙基己基噻吩-2-基)苯并[1,2-b:4,5-b']二噻吩))-alt-(5,5-(1',3'-二-2-噻吩基-5',7'-二(2-乙基己基)苯并[1',2'-c:4',5'-c']二噻吩-4,8-二酮))](PBDB-T)/9-二(2-亚甲基(3-(1,1-二氰基亚甲基)-6,7-二氟-茚酮))-5,5,11,11-四(4-己基苯基)-二噻吩并[2,3-d:2',3'-d']-s-引达省[1,2-b:5,6-b']二噻吩(IT-4F)共混体系,四氢呋喃蒸汽处理可提高IT-4F结晶性,150 ℃热退火可提高PBDB-T的结晶性。 因此,依次利用蒸汽退火和热退火处理薄膜,诱导小分子先结晶、聚合物后结晶,从而降低PBDB-T对小分子扩散的限制,构建高结晶互穿网络结构。 形貌优化后降低了双分子复合,器件光电转换效率从5.95%提高至7.18%。

采用芳香取代的咪唑二羧酸配体2-(对氰基)苯基-4,5-咪唑二羧酸(p-CNPhH₃IDC) ,在含氮螯合配体 2,2'-联吡啶(2,2'-bipy)的存在下,利用水热反应,制备了一个具有混合配体的一维链状配位聚合物:[Cd(p-CNPhHIDC)(2,2'-bipy)]_n(1)。 通过元素分析、傅里叶变换红外光谱仪以及单晶X射线衍射等技术手段研究了配位聚合物1的结构和性能。 结果表明,该配位聚合物稳定性较好,在231.6 ℃前结构稳定。 经乙睛、甲醇、乙醛等溶剂浸泡后,配位聚合物1的荧光强度发生了一定程度的减弱(乙醛和CH₂Cl₂)或增强(DMF、硝基苯、丙酮),仅有吡啶溶剂使其荧光发射波长发生了60 nm的蓝移,显示其对吡啶有比较好的识别作用。     

通过调节共轭聚合物侧链实现可绿色溶剂加工的非富勒烯太阳能电池

有机太阳能电池(OSC)经过长期的发展,其能量转换效率(PCE)已快速推进至14%–16%,基本接近可商业化应用的范围,但在目前所见报道的高效率OSC器件的制备过程中,活性层薄膜的加工大多采用氯苯、二氯苯、氯仿等毒性较高的含卤/芳香性试剂,此类试剂对环境及人类健康的危害非常高。在本工作中,我们基于已报道的高效率给体共轭聚合物PBDB-T,通过扩大共轭侧链结构与增长柔性烷基侧链的方式,合成了新型给体聚合物PBDB-DT。PBDB-DT中较长的柔性烷基侧链保证了其在低毒性溶剂四氢呋喃(THF)溶液中良好的溶解度,同时,扩大的共轭侧链也有效增强了其在THF中的溶液聚集作用,这一特性对于在非富勒烯型OSC器件中获得较好的光伏性能尤其重要。当采用非富勒烯小分子IT-M作为电子受体材料时,以THF为主溶剂加工的基于PBDB-DT:IT-M的OSC器件可以获得10.2%的能量转换效率。     

骨架非稠合的电子受体在聚合物太阳能电池中的应用

Non-fullerene electron acceptors have attracted enormous attention of the research community owing to their advantages of optoelectronic and chemical tunabilities for promoting high-performance polymer solar cells (PSCs). Among them, fused-ring electron acceptors (FREAs) are the most popular ones with the good structural planarity and rigidity, which successfully boost the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of PSCs to over 14%. In considering the cost-control of future scale-up applications, it is also worthwhile to explore novel structures that are easy to synthesize and still maintain the advantages of FREAs. In this work, we design and synthesize a new electron acceptor with an unfused backbone, 5, 5'-((2, 5-bis((2-hexyldecyl)oxy)-1, 4-phenylene)bis(thiophene-2-yl))bis(methanylylidene)) bis(3-oxo-2, 3-dihydro-1H-indene-2, 1-diylidene))dimal-ononitrile (ICTP), which contains two thiophenes and one alkoxy benzene as the core and 2-(3-oxo-2, 3-dihydroinden-1-ylidene) malononitrile (IC) as the terminal groups. The synthetic route to ICTP involves only three steps, with high yields. Density functional theory calculations indicate that the non-covalent interactions, O…H and O…S, help reinforce the space conformation between the central core and the terminals. ICTP shows broad and strong absorption in the long-wavelength range between 500 and 760 nm. The highest occupied molecular orbital and lowest unoccupied molecular orbital levels of ICTP were measured to be -5.56 and -3.84 eV by cyclic voltammetry. The suitable absorption and energy levels make ICTP a good acceptor candidate for medium bandgap polymer donors. The best devices based on PBDB-T:ICTP showed a PCE of 4.43%, with an open circuit voltage (V_OC) of 0.97 V, a short circuit current density (J_SC) of 8.29 mA∙cm^-2, and a fill factor (FF) of 0.55, after adding 1% 1, 8-diiodooctane (DIO) as the solvent additive. Atomic force microscopy revealed that DIO could ameliorate the strong aggregation in the blended film and lead to a smoother film surface. The hole and electron mobilities of the optimized device were measured to be 9.64 and 2.03 × 10^-5 cm²∙V^-1∙s^-1, respectively, by the space-charge-limited current method. The relatively low mobilities might be responsible for the moderate PCE. Further studies can be performed to enlarge the conjugation length by including more aromatic rings. This study provides a simple strategy to design non-fullerene acceptors and a valuable reference for the future development of PSCs.
