研究目的
Investigating the effect of fused triphenylamine core in star-shaped donor-π-acceptor molecules on their physicochemical properties and performance in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells.
研究成果
The novel star-shaped donor-acceptor molecule with the fused triphenylamine core (I) exhibits higher crystallinity, solubility, and thermal stability compared to its analog with a pristine triphenylamine core (II). Organic solar cells based on I showed significantly higher power conversion efficiency, hole mobility, and external quantum efficiency than those based on II. This demonstrates the potential of the fused triphenylamine core in designing highly soluble and crystalline materials for organic optoelectronic devices.
研究不足
The study focuses on the comparison between two specific molecules (I and II) and their performance in organic solar cells. The potential for optimization in the synthesis process and the exploration of other fused cores are not fully addressed.
