研究目的
To enhance the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs) by optimizing the design of fused-ring electron acceptors (FREAs) through fluorination and sidechain modification to achieve better phase separation and higher domain purity.
研究成果
The novel FREA ITC6-4F, designed with fluorination and sidechain modification, demonstrated a significant improvement in OSC performance, achieving a PCE of 14.47%. This was attributed to enhanced crystallinity, enlarged phase separation, and higher domain purity. The study concludes that fluorination is an effective strategy for tuning the morphology of ITC6-based devices, highlighting the importance of balancing phase separation and domain purity for further advancements in OSC performance.
研究不足
The study acknowledges the complexity and challenges in molecular backbone design and sidechain control for nonfullerene acceptors. The repeatability of device efficiency is noted as challenging due to strong aggregation and unmanageable phase separation of blend films.
