High‐Efficiency All‐Small‐Molecule Organic Solar Cells Based on an Organic Molecule Donor with Alkylsilyl‐Thienyl Conjugated Side Chains

Journal Article Bin, Haijun ; Yao, Jia ; Yang, Yankang ; ... - Advanced Materials

Abstract Two medium‐bandgap p‐type organic small molecules H21 and H22 with an alkylsily‐thienyl conjugated side chain on benzo[1,2‐ b :4,5‐ b ′]dithiophene central units are synthesized and used as donors in all‐small‐molecule organic solar cells (SM‐OSCs) with a narrow‐bandgap n‐type small molecule 2,2′‐((2Z,2′Z)‐((4,4,9,9‐tetrahexyl‐4,9‐dihydro‐ s ‐indaceno[1,2‐ b :5,6‐ b ′]dithiophene‐2,7‐diyl)bis(methanylylidene))bis(3‐oxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indene‐2,1‐diylidene))dimalononitrile (IDIC) as the acceptor. In comparison to H21 with 3‐ethyl rhodanine as the terminal group, H22 with cyanoacetic acid esters as the terminal group shows blueshifted absorption, higher charge‐carrier mobility and better 3D charge pathway in blend films. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the SM‐OSCs based on H22:IDIC reaches 10.29%more »« less

Polymerized Small Molecular Acceptor with Branched Side Chains for All Polymer Solar Cells with Efficiency over 16.7%

Journal Article Li, Yun ; Song, Jiali ; Dong, Yicai ; ... - Advanced Materials

Abstract The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of small molecule acceptor (SMA)‐based organic solar cells have already exceeded 18%. However, the development of polymer acceptors still lags far behind their SMA counterparts mainly due to the lack of efficient polymer acceptors. Herein, a series of polymer acceptors named PY‐X (with X being the branched alkyl chain) are designed and synthesized by employing the same central core with the SMA L8‐BO but with different branched alkyl chains on the pyrrole motif. It is found that the molecular packing of SMA‐HD featuring 2‐hexyldecyl side chain used in the synthesis of PY‐HD is similar tomore »« less

Chlorinated Wide-Bandgap Donor Polymer Enabling Annealing Free Nonfullerene Solar Cells with the Efficiency of 11.5%

Journal Article Liu, Zhitian ; Gao, Yerun ; Dong, Jun ; ... - Journal of Physical Chemistry Letters

Substituting the hydrogen atoms on the conjugated side chain of a wide-bandgap polymer J52 with chlorine atoms can simultaneously increase the J_sc, V_oc, and FF of nonfullerene OSCs, leading to an efficiency boost from 3.78 to 11.53%, which is among the highest efficiencies for as-cast OSCs reported to date. To illustrate the impressive 3-fold PCE enhancement, the chlorination effect on the optical properties and energy levels of polymers, film morphology, and underlying charge dynamics is systematically investigated. Grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering studies show that chlorinated J52-2Cl exhibits strong molecule aggregation, the preferred face-on orientation, and enhanced intermolecular pi-pi interactions,more »« less

Polymer non-fullerene solar cells of vastly different efficiencies for minor side-chain modification: impact of charge transfer, carrier lifetime, morphology and mobility

Journal Article Awartani, Omar M. ; Gautam, Bhoj ; Zhao, Wenchao ; ... - Journal of Materials Chemistry. A

The performance of the 11.25% efficient PBDB-T : ITIC system degraded to 4.35% after a minor side-chain modification in PBDB-O : ITIC. In this study, the underlying reasons behind this vast difference in efficiencies are investigated.
