研究目的
To design and synthesize a novel wide-bandgap conjugate donor-acceptor type copolymer for application in non-fullerene polymer solar cells, aiming to achieve a high power conversion efficiency.
研究成果
The introduction of a trifluoromethyl (TFM) group into the thiophene ring in PBDT-TFMTh effectively altered the HOMO and LUMO levels, leading to a promising power conversion efficiency of 2.25% in non-fullerene polymer solar cells. This demonstrates the potential of TFM-substituted thiophene monomers in the development of efficient solar cell materials.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific copolymer design and the need for thermal annealing to achieve optimal performance. Further optimization of the copolymer structure and device fabrication process could enhance efficiency.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of PBDT-TFMTh via Stille coupling polymerization, incorporating benzodithiophene (BDT) as a donor unit and trifluoromethyl (TFM)-substituted thiophene (Th) as an acceptor unit.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The monomers were prepared according to literature methods.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
UV-Vis absorption spectrometer, cyclic voltammetry setup, elemental analyzer, gel permeation chromatography (GPC), atomic force microscope (AFM).
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The copolymer was synthesized, characterized for its physical, optical, and electrochemical properties, and then used to fabricate polymer solar cells.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the solar cells was evaluated based on power conversion efficiency (PCE), short-circuit current density (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), and fill factor (FF).
