研究目的
Investigating the effects of modulating donor alkyl terminal chains with shifting branching points on the morphology and efficiency of all-small-molecule organic solar cells.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that suitably tuning the branching position of terminal groups in small molecular donors can significantly influence the morphology and efficiency of ASM-OSCs. The BSCl-C2 donor, with its branching point at the 2-position, achieved the highest PCE of 12.4% due to optimized phase morphology, strong molecular crystallinity, and suitable intermolecular interaction with the acceptor IDIC-4Cl. This approach provides a promising strategy for further improving the performance of ASM-OSCs.
研究不足
The study focuses on a specific set of small molecular donors and a single acceptor, which may limit the generalizability of the findings to other materials. The optimization of device performance is constrained by the current understanding of molecular interactions and morphology control in ASM-OSCs.
