Abstract

This study explores the design, synthesis, and application of two nonfused ring nonfullerene acceptors, namely ECPDT-IC and EDTP-IC, featuring an ethynylene linkers between two 4Hcyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b0]dithiophene (CPDT) units and two 4-(2-octyldodecyl)-4H-dithieno[3,2-b:2′, 3′-d]pyrrole (DTP) units, respectively. The incorporation of the ethynylene linker is found to effectively regulate the energy levels and molecular conformations of the nonfullerene acceptors. The EDTP-IC with a DTP central core exhibits higher electron mobility, compared to ECPDT-IC. The frontier energy levels of both ECPDT-IC and EDTP-IC are aligned with PTB7-Th and also showed complementary absorption profiles. The organic solar cells (OSCs) based on PTB7-Th:EDTP-IC attained higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) (13.35%) as compared to the PTB7-Th:ECPDT-IC counterpart (10.87%), attributed to efficient exciton dissociation and charge transport. Further, the PCE has been improved to 15.17% for ternary OSC, when ECPDT-IC was added to PTB7-Th:EDTP-IC binary active layer. The PCE is about 15%, likely due to the active layer's absorption spectrum being limited to 820 nm. However, these NFR-NFAs could be promising for efficient indoor OSCs and as guest components in OSCs with wide bandgap polymers and narrow bandgap acceptors.

基于4h -二噻吩[3,2- b:2 ', 3 ' -D]吡咯和4h -环五[1,2- b:5,4- b ']二噻吩N, s -杂环的新型非缩合受体与乙烯连接体用于三元聚合物太阳能电池,效率超过15%
本研究探索了两种非熔合环非富勒烯受体ECPDT-IC和EDTP-IC的设计、合成和应用,这两种受体分别在两个4Hcyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b]二噻吩(CPDT)单元和两个4-(2-辛基十二烷基)- 4h -二噻吩[3,2-b:2 ', 3 ' -d]吡咯(DTP)单元之间具有乙烯连接。研究发现,乙烯连接体的加入能有效地调节非富勒烯受体的能级和分子构象。与ECPDT-IC相比,具有DTP中心核的EDTP-IC具有更高的电子迁移率。ECPDT-IC和EDTP-IC的前沿能级均与PTB7-Th排列一致,并表现出互补的吸收谱。与PTB7-Th:EDTP-IC相比,基于PTB7-Th:EDTP-IC的有机太阳能电池(OSCs)获得了更高的功率转换效率(PCE)(13.35%),这归功于高效的激子解离和电荷传输。此外,在PTB7-Th:EDTP-IC二元有源层中加入ECPDT-IC后,三元OSC的PCE提高到15.17%。PCE约为15%,可能是由于活性层的吸收光谱被限制在820 nm。然而,这些nfr - nfa有望成为高效的室内OSCs,并作为具有宽带隙聚合物和窄带隙受体的OSCs中的来宾组分。
