研究目的
Investigating the potential of a novel distorted lactam motif, BTP, as an electron donor in polymer solar cells through the design and synthesis of two D–A conjugated polymers, PBDT-BTP-HD and PBDT-BTP-OD, and evaluating their photophysical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties.
研究成果
The novel distorted lactam BTP, with intramolecular hydrogen bonds, is a promising building block for organic solar cells, as demonstrated by the high power conversion efficiency of up to 9.54% achieved with PBDT-BTP-OD. Side-chain engineering plays a critical role in optimizing the device performance.
研究不足
The study focuses on the synthesis and characterization of two specific polymers and their performance in solar cells, which may not cover all potential variations of the BTP motif or other device configurations.
