研究目的
Investigating the impact of isomeric end-capping groups on the performance of polymer solar cells.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that the isomerization of end-capping groups is an effective strategy for designing high-performance small-molecule acceptors for polymer solar cells. The ITC-2Br2-based device achieved a significantly higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 13.1% compared to those based on ITC-2Br (10.9%) and ITC-2Br1 (11.9%). The success of the isomerization strategy highlights its potential for the development of high-performance SMAs.
研究不足
The study focuses on the impact of isomeric end-capping groups on the performance of polymer solar cells, but does not explore other potential modifications or combinations of materials that could further enhance performance.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the design and synthesis of three isomeric brominated thiophene-fused end-capping groups linked to the IDTT core to form small-molecule acceptors (SMAs). The physicochemical properties and photovoltaic performance of these SMAs were systematically investigated.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The study used three novel isomeric SMAs named ITC-2Br, ITC-2Br1, and ITC-2Br
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
The study utilized conventional device structures for polymer solar cells, including ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PM6:acceptor/Zracac/Al.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The optimal active layers were acquired by spin-coating the blend solution of PM6:ITC-2Br (or ITC-2Br1 or ITC-2Br2) with an acceptor concentration of 7.5 mg mL?1 in chloroform, followed by thermal annealing.
5:5 mg mL?1 in chloroform, followed by thermal annealing.
Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: The study employed theoretical simulations, optical and electrochemical measurements, and photovoltaic performance tests to analyze the data.
