研究目的
To develop a simple small molecule non-fullerene acceptor that can extend light absorption up to 900 nm and improve the performance of polymer solar cells.
研究成果
The study successfully developed a simple small molecule non-fullerene acceptor based on cyclopentadithiophene core unit, which extends light absorption up to 900 nm. The ternary solar cells showed a significant enhancement in performance, achieving a PCE of 9.39%, which is over 20% enhancement compared to the binary system.
研究不足
The study is limited by the relatively low fill factor and short circuit current in binary solar cells, which could be due to unsatisfied nanomorphology for the blend film.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of a cyclopentadithiophene cored A-π-D-π-A type molecule and its application in polymer solar cells. The methodology included UV-Vis absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy, cyclic voltammetry, and theoretical calculations using DFT method with PBE0 functional.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were synthesized from commercially available starting materials. The optical and electrochemical properties were characterized using standard techniques.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment used includes PerkinElmer Lambda750 spectrometer, FluroMax-4 fluorescence spectrometer, RST3000 electrochemical workstation, and Bruker MultiMode 8 Atomic Force Microscope.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The synthesis involved Suzuki coupling and Knoevenagel condensation. Device fabrication included spin-coating and thermal evaporation processes.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data were analyzed using Beer-Lambert model for UV-Vis absorption, and DFT calculations for electronic structure analysis.
