研究目的
Investigating the design and modification of an organic electron acceptor to serve as a cathode interlayer for enhancing the efficiency of organic solar cells.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated a new molecular design strategy for developing high-performance CILs by tailoring the end-capping unit of ITIC. The S-3 molecule exhibited superior electron extraction properties and achieved a PCE of 16.6% in OSC devices. The DFT calculations provided insights into the role of electrostatic potential differences in promoting exciton dissociation, contributing to additional charge generation. This work offers a reliable approach for designing CIL materials and predicting their effects on OSC performance.
