研究目的
To analyze the impact of reducing thiophene π‐bridge and further fluorination on photostability and photovoltaic performance in medium bandgap copolymers composed of indacenodithieno[3,2‐b]thiophene and benzothiadiazole subunits.
研究成果
Modulating the π‐bridge in the polymer backbone is an effective method to enhance photovoltaic performance, as demonstrated by the 185% increase in PCE for PIDTT‐TBT. However, further fluorination led to a decrease in PCE due to undesired morphology in the photoactive layer.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific materials used (IDTT and BT subunits) and the focus on π‐bridge modulation and fluorination effects. The photostability and aggregation effects in solution were found to be insignificant, which may limit the applicability of the findings to other systems.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of two random conjugated polymers (PIDTT‐TBT and PIDTT‐TFBT) and a control polymer (PIDTT‐DTBT) to compare their photovoltaic performance and photostability. The polymers were synthesized using Stille polymerization.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were prepared from indacenodithieno[3,2‐b]thiophene (IDTT), 3‐octylthiophene, and benzothiadiazole (BT) units.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Key materials included bistin IDTTSn, dibromide monomers (DTBTBr2, TBTBr2, TFBTBr2), and solvents like chlorobenzene (CB) and o‐dichlorobenzene (oDCB). Equipment included NMR for characterization, GPC for molecular weight determination, and AFM/TEM for morphology analysis.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Polymers were synthesized, purified, and characterized. Photovoltaic devices were fabricated and their performance was measured.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Optical properties were analyzed using UV‐Vis absorption spectra, electrochemical properties via cyclic voltammetry, and photovoltaic performance through J‐V characteristics.
