Abstract
Conjugated polymers derived from polyfluorene and featuring sulfonate groups in their side chains were synthesized for interlayer in both fullerene and non-fullerene organic solar cells (OSCs). These polymers, specifically denoted as PFS-T-x (x = H, Li), establish an advantageous interfacial dipole through the ionic functionality located at the side chains. Remarkably, the key parameters of organic solar cells, such as \({J}_{sc}\) and \(FF,\) exhibit improvements as the size of the cation increases. The highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) was achieved using PFS-T-Li as interlayer, reaching up to 9.11% and 16.3% for the device based on fullerene and non-fullerene, respectively. This study can provide a deeper understanding and potential enhancements in the performance of OSCs utilizing polymers as universal interlayers.

This study explored the impact of different countercations in conjugated polymers used as an interlayer in organic solar cells. It was discovered that the conjugated polyelectrolyte containing lithium countercations produced the highest power conversion efficiency, ascribed to the creation of an advantageous interfacial dipole.
在富勒烯和非富勒烯有机太阳能电池(OSCs)的中间层中,合成了由聚芴衍生并在其侧链上具有磺酸基的共轭聚合物。这些聚合物,具体表示为PFS-T-x (x = H, Li),通过位于侧链上的离子官能团建立了有利的界面偶极子。值得注意的是,有机太阳能电池的关键参数,如\({J}_{sc}\)和\(FF,\),随着阳离子尺寸的增加而有所改善。采用PFS-T-Li作为中间层实现了最高的功率转换效率(PCE),最高可达9.11% and 16.3% for the device based on fullerene and non-fullerene, respectively. This study can provide a deeper understanding and potential enhancements in the performance of OSCs utilizing polymers as universal interlayers.Graphic abstractThis study explored the impact of different countercations in conjugated polymers used as an interlayer in organic solar cells.
