Fused ring non-fullerene acceptors with benzothiophene dioxide end groups and their side chain effect investigations
Abstract
The development of small molecule-based non-fullerene acceptors (NF-SMAs) greatly advanced the performances of polymer solar cells (PSCs) in recent years. As the foreseeability of commercializing this technology in the future, interest in reducing the materials cost is rising. To this end, efforts have been made in this work on exploring the usage of commercially available chemical segment of benzothiophene dioxide (BC) in constructing efficient NF-SMAs. Thus, we designed and synthesized two BC-based NF-SMAs, which showed high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 7.59% also by device engineering and side chain engineering. Our work revealed the full potential of using BC end groups in constructing high-performance NF-SMAs and demonstrated the application of side chain engineering in tuning material properties and performances.
