Improved performance of small molecule based organic photovoltaic cells enabled by fine-tuning side chains on terminal units
Achieving proper film morphology and microstructures via molecular engineering remains a long-standing challenge for small-molecule-based organic photovoltaics. Herein, we designed and synthesized a small molecule donor, namely DAR3TBDT with allyl substituted rhodanine as terminal units. Compared to molecule DR3TBDT with ethyl groups on the terminus, DAR3TBDT in film showed similar optical bandgap and frontier molecular orbital energy levels, but more ordered molecular packing. Moreover, DAR3TBDT:PC71BM blend film exhibited better morphology with more defined phase separation in comparison to DR3TBDT:PC71BM counterpart. Owing to efficient exciton dissociation, charge transport and charge collection, the photovoltaic devices based on DAR3TBDT:PC71BM achieved a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 9.05 % under one sun (AM 1.5G, 100 mW cm−2), outperforming the DR3TBDT:PC71BM-based counterparts (7.94 %). Furthermore, the DAR3TBDT:PC71BM-based devices are applied as the laser power converter under 532 nm laser irradiation, and achieved a high PCE of 23.11 %. This study opens a promising avenue to develop high-performance photovoltaic materials from the view of side chain engineering.
