Abstract

The emergence of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) has revived organic solar cells (OSCs) and promoted its industrialization significantly. Nowadays there are two main kinds of fused-ring electron acceptors: ITIC series and Y-series NFAs. Herein, two hybrid NFAs TIT-H and TIT-EH integrated ITIC series and Y-series NFAs have been developed, which based on thieno[2′,3′:4,5]thieno[3,2-b]indole-thiophene with one spiro group. TIT-H and TIT-EH both exhibited excellent thermal stability, low optical bandgaps of ∼1.5 eV, planar molecular geometries, and suitable energy levels. As a result, OSCs based on PM6:TIT-EH afforded a decent PCE of 13.32 %, with an V_OC of 0.856 V, a J_SC of 23.50 mA/cm² and a FF of 65.91 %, which was due to the suitable intermolecular interactions of TIT-EH, balanced charge carrier mobilities and face-on orientation in blend films. As comparison, PM6:TIT-H cell exhibited lower PCE of 12.26 %. These results demonstrated that hybrid NFAs are promising for OSC applications.

基于噻吩并[2′,3′:4,5]噻吩并[3,2-b]吲哚的混合非富勒烯受体用于高效有机太阳能电池

非富勒烯受体（NFAs）的出现振兴了有机太阳能电池（OSCs），并极大地推动了其产业化进程。目前，熔环电子受体主要有两种：ITIC 系列和 Y 系列 NFA。本文以带有一个螺基的噻吩并[2′,3′:4,5]噻吩并[3,2-b]吲哚-噻吩为基础，开发了两种集成了 ITIC 系列和 Y 系列 NFA 的混合 NFA TIT-H 和 TIT-EH。TIT-H 和 TIT-EH 都具有出色的热稳定性、1.5 eV 以下的低光带隙、平面分子几何形状和合适的能级。因此，基于 PM6:TIT-EH 的 OSC 具有 13.32 % 的良好 PCE，VOC 为 0.856 V，JSC 为 23.50 mA/cm2，FF 为 65.91 %。相比之下，PM6:TIT-H 电池的 PCE 较低，仅为 12.26%。这些结果表明，混合 NFA 在 OSC 应用中大有可为。
