研究目的
Investigating the effects of alkyl side-chain engineering on the molecular self-organization of small molecules and its application in high-performance organic and perovskite solar cells.
研究成果
The study demonstrates that alkyl side-chain engineering can effectively control the molecular self-organization of small molecules, leading to improved performance in OPVs and PvSCs. SM2, with an additional hexyl side-chain, showed superior device performance and stability compared to SM1, highlighting the potential of molecular design strategies in advancing organic and hybrid electronics.
研究不足
The study focuses on the impact of alkyl side-chain engineering on molecular self-organization and device performance but does not explore the scalability of the synthesis process or the long-term stability of devices under operational conditions beyond heat and humidity tests.
