Alkyl Chain End Group Engineering of Small Molecule Acceptors for Non-Fullerene Organic Solar Cells

Journal Article Qu, Jianfei ; Mu, Zhao ; Lai, Hanjian ; ... - ACS Applied Energy Materials

Alkyl chain engineering is widely used to prepare high-performance donor materials. However, relatively few studies have been focused on the alkyl chain optimization of acceptor materials. Herein, a series of new A-D-A (acceptor-donor-acceptor) type small molecule acceptors (ITBTR-C2, ITBTR-C4, ITBTR-C6, and ITBTR-C8) with indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene (IDTT) as the core, benzothiadiazole (BT) as the π bridge, and ethyl-, butyl-, hexyl-, and octyl-substituted 2-(1,1-dicyanomethylene) rhodanine as the end groups, respectively, are successfully synthesized to systematically investigate the alkyl substituent effects on the physical, chemical, and electronic properties of A-D-A type small molecule acceptors. All molecules exhibit a strong and broad absorption from 600more »« less

Chlorination of Side Chains: A Strategy for Achieving a High Open Circuit Voltage Over 1.0 V in Benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-Based Non-Fullerene Solar Cells

Journal Article Chao, Pengjie ; Mu, Zhao ; Wang, Huan ; ... - ACS Applied Energy Materials

Here, a benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-based donor material with chlorine atoms substituted on its side chains, named PBClT, was designed and developed for application in non-fullerene solar cells to enhance the open-circuit voltage (V_oc) without decreasing charge carrier transfer in the corresponding blend films. The results demonstrated that the chlorinated PBClT polymer was an efficient donor in non-fullerene polymer solar cells (PSCs) and exhibited a blue-shifted absorbance, resulting in more complementary light absorption with non-fullerene acceptors, such as ITIC. In addition, the chlorine substitution decreased the HOMO level of PBClT, and as a result, the V_oc of the corresponding solar cell increased dramaticallymore »« less

Synergistic Effects of Side-Chain Engineering and Fluorination on Small Molecule Acceptors to Simultaneously Broaden Spectral Response and Minimize Voltage Loss for 13.8% Efficiency Organic Solar Cells

Journal Article Fan, Qunping ; Su, Wenyan ; Zhang, Ming ; ... - Solar RRL

In this paper, three small molecule (SM)-acceptors (POIT-IC, POIT-IC2F, and POIT-IC4F) are developed by combining the side-chain engineering located on the sp³-hybridized carbon atoms of the fused-ring core and the fluorination of end groups. From ITIC to POIT-IC, POIT-IC2F, and then to POIT-IC4F, the SM-acceptors show gradually broadened absorption spectra, increased maximum extinction coefficient, crystallinity, and electron mobilities due to the synergistic effects of side-chain engineering and fluorination. Compared with nonfluorinated ITIC and POIT-IC, as fluorination broadens the molecular spectra, POIT-IC2F and POIT-IC4F with alkoxyphenyl side chains show less decreased LUMO levels than IT-IC2F and IT-IC4F with alkylphenyl side chains,more »« less

3D Interpenetrating Network for High-Performance Nonfullerene Acceptors via Asymmetric Chlorine Substitution

Journal Article Lai, Hanjian ; Chen, Hui ; Zhou, Jiadong ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

We report two chlorine-substituted isomers, ITIC-2Cl-β and α-ITIC-2Cl, were synthesized for potential use as nonfullerene acceptors. The two molecules differ in the position of chlorine atoms, leading to symmetric (ITIC-2Cl-β) and asymmetric (α-ITIC-2Cl) molecular configuration. In single crystals, the two molecules exhibit a completely different arrangement and stacking as derived from X-ray diffraction analysis. Whereas ITIC-2Cl-β has a linear packing structure, a-ITIC-2Cl forms a 3D interpenetrating network structure with shorter π-π distances and better molecular planarity. Therefore, a high power conversion efficiency of >12% is obtained by α-ITIC-2Cl-based devices. It is similar to ~10% higher than that of ITIC-2Cl-β-based devicesmore »« less

Systematic Merging of Nonfullerene Acceptor π-Extension and Tetrafluorination Strategies Affords Polymer Solar Cells with >16% Efficiency

Journal Article Li, Guoping ; Zhang, Xiaohua ; Jones, Leighton O. ; ... - Journal of the American Chemical Society

The end-capping group (EG) is the essential electron-withdrawing component of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs). The two frequent EG functionalization strategies to enhance OSC per-formance are π-extension and halogenation. To systematically probe their impact in A-DAD-A type NFAs, we designed, syn-thesized, and characterized four such NFAs, BT-BIC, BT-LIC, BT-L4F, and BT-BO-L4F. To assess the relative importance of these strategies, we compare/contrast these NFAs with the baseline A-DAD-A acceptors, Y5 (no π-extension or fluorination), and Y6 (fluorination only). Blending with donor polymers PBDB-T and PBDB-T-2F yields up to 16.6% power conversion efficiency (PCE) in binarymore »« less
