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

Enhancement in Open-Circuit Voltage in Organic Solar Cells by Using Ladder-Type Nonfullerene Acceptors

Journal Article Cai, Zhengxu ; Zhao, Donglin ; Sharapov, Valerii ; ... - ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces

The open-circuit voltage (V_oc) loss has always been a major factor in lowering power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) in bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). A method to improve the V_oc is indispensable to achieve high PCEs. Here in this paper, we investigated a series of perylene diimide-based ladder-type molecules as electron acceptors in nonfullerene OPVs. The D-A ladder-type structures described here lock our pi-systems into a planar structure and eliminate bond twisting associated with linear conjugated systems. This enlarges the interface energy gap (ΔE_DA), extends electronic delocalization, and hence improves the V_oc. More importantly, these devices showed an increase inmore »« 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

A 3D nonfullerene electron acceptor with a 9,9'-bicarbazole backbone for high-efficiency organic solar cells

Journal Article Chao, Jiang ; Huang, Xinjing ; Sun, Bangjin ; ... - Organic Electronics

One-dimensional ladder-type nonfullerene electron acceptors (NFAs) with large fused ring cores have been typically used in highly efficient organic solar cells (OSCs). Prior studies have demonstrated that small molecule acceptors with three-dimensional (3D) structures may exhibit low energy loss, and hence can lead to improved OSC performance. In this study, a new 3D NFA (99CZ-8F) with a 9,9'-bicarbazole backbone was designed, synthesized, and characterized, where two linear A-D-A architectures were linked by a single N–N bond. 99CZ-8F showed strong absorption in the range of 500–800 nm in the solid state, which is complementary to the absorption of the donor materialmore »« less
