A medium-bandgap small molecule donor compatible with both fullerene and unfused-ring nonfullerene acceptors for efficient organic solar cells
摘要: Here we designed and synthesized a new small molecule donor DRC4TB with an alkylthiothienyl-substituted benzodithiophene as the core and 3-butyl rhodanine as the terminal group, which showed an optical bandgap of 1.87 eV. DRC4TB was compatible with both a fullerene acceptor (PC71BM) and an unfused-ring non-fullerene acceptor (HF-PCIC). The optimized DRC4TB:PC71BM and DRC4TB:HF-PCIC solar cells delivered comparable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 8.53% and 8.68%, respectively.

A new medium-bandgap fused-[1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]benzo-thiophene (BTBT) nonfullerene acceptor for organic solar cells with high open-circuit voltage
摘要: A new nonfullerene small molecule acceptor, namely DBTIC, based on a octocyclic thieno[3,2-b]thienodi(indenothiophene) unit using [1]benzothieno[3,2-b][1]-benzothiophene as the core unit, was developed. Despite the medium-bandgap of DBTIC (1.71 eV), a power conversion efficiency of 8.64% can be delivered by the solar cells combining DBTIC and a wide-bandgap polymer donor J52. The high open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.94 V is also rare for J52 based devices owing to the high-lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level of DBTIC. Moreover, using J71 with lower highest occupied molecular orbital level as polymer donor, a higher Voc up to 1.05 V can be achieved.

Nonfullerene Small-Molecule Acceptors with Extended Optical Absorption Based on the “Spliced” Strategy for Organic Solar Cells
摘要: How to broaden the optical absorption of photovoltaic materials is one of the key issues in the design of high-performance organic solar cells. Nowadays, the sunlight of 400–550 nm wavelength range is not effectively utilized for most small-molecule nonfullerene acceptors. In this work, we proposed the “spliced” strategy of combining the acceptor–donor–acceptor type narrow band-gap small molecules and wide-band-gap perylene diimide (PDI) moieties via a flexible alkyl chain linkage, which could give the superposition effect of the absorption spectra, and three small-molecule acceptors (S1, S2, and S3) were designed based on various end-capping groups with different electron withdrawing abilities. Encouragingly, the as-constructed molecules can well make use of 400–550 nm sunlight with two independent absorption regions. Meanwhile, the aggregation of S1 with a highly planar end-capping group was dominated by both the PDI unit and main skeleton, while S2 and S3 exhibited PDI-controlled aggregation. When fabricated into organic solar cells, S1-based devices achieved a superior efficiency of 3.41% in comparison with those of the other two. The poor photovoltaic performance could be attributed to severe PDI aggregation, which can hinder the charge transfer through the main skeletons. This work could provide a new perspective to modulate optical absorption through the spliced strategy.

Rationally pairing photoactive materials for high-performance polymer solar cells with efficiency of 16.53%
摘要: The emergence of non-fullerene acceptors (NFA) offers a promising opportunity to develop high-performance donor/acceptor pairs with high power conversion efficiency, as NFAs offer tunable energy levels, broad absorption and suitable aggregation property. In order to enhance light-harvesting capability of active layers, we choose a wide bandgap polymer PTQ10 as the donor to blend with a narrow bandgap NFA Y6 as the acceptor. In comparison with PTQ10:IDIC blend, ~130 nm red-shifted absorption spectrum is observed in the PTQ10:Y6 blend, which potentially enhance the short-circuit current density (Jsc) for the PSCs. In addition, the optimal PTQ10:Y6 blend shows higher photoluminescence quenching efficiency and more efficient charge separation, higher charge mobilities, as well as weaker bimolecular recombination over the PTQ10:IDIC blend, which leads to an outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.53%, with a notable Jsc of 26.65 mA cm?2 and fill factor (FF) of 0.751.

High Performance Roll-to-Roll Produced Fullerene-Free Organic Photovoltaic Devices via Temperature-Controlled Slot Die Coating
摘要: Solution-processed organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have continued to show their potential as a low-cost power generation technology; however, there has been a significant gap between device efficiencies fabricated with lab-scale techniques—i.e., spin coating—and scalable deposition methods. Herein, temperature-controlled slot die deposition is developed for the photoactive layer of OPVs. The influence of solution and substrate temperatures on photoactive films and their effects on power conversion efficiency (PCE) in slot die coated OPVs using a 3D printer-based slot die coater are studied on the basis of device performance, molecular structure, film morphology, and carrier transport behavior. These studies clearly demonstrate that both substrate and solution temperatures during slot die coating can influence device performance, and the combination of hot substrate (120 °C) and hot solution (90 °C) conditions result in mechanically robust films with PCE values up to 10.0% using this scalable deposition method in air. The efficiency is close to that of state-of-the-art devices fabricated by spin coating. The deposition condition is translated to roll-to-roll processing without further modification and results in flexible OPVs with PCE values above 7%. The results underscore the promising potential of temperature-controlled slot die coating for roll-to-roll manufacturing of high performance OPVs.
