研究目的
Investigating the modulation of three p-type polymers containing a fluorinated-thiophene-fused-benzotriazole unit to pair with a benzotriazole-based non-fullerene acceptor for high VOC in organic solar cells.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that chlorination is an effective approach to realize high PCE and VOC in organic solar cells. The thiophene-fused benzotriazole (BTAZT) based polymers are suitable for photovoltaic material combinations based on the SAS strategy, with PfBTAZT-Cl:BTA3 achieving the highest PCE of 8.00% and VOC of 1.20 V.
研究不足
The study focuses on the modulation of three specific polymers and their pairing with a single non-fullerene acceptor. The generalizability of the findings to other polymer-acceptor combinations is not explored. Additionally, the impact of chlorination on the polymers' crystallinity and morphology, while beneficial for VOC, may impede charge extraction in some cases.
