研究目的
To develop a facile molecular design strategy to effectively regulate the crystalline properties of photoactive materials, enabling the optimization of blend morphology for high-performance non-fullerene small-molecule organic solar cells (NFSM-OSCs).
研究成果
The study demonstrates that increasing the crystalline properties of donor molecule by modulating the symmetry of the conjugated side group contributes to the synergistic optimization of donor–acceptor blend morphology, leading to high-performance NFSM-OSCs with a PCE of 15.3%.
研究不足
The study focuses on the crystalline properties of donor molecules and their interaction with acceptors, but does not explore the potential of other molecular designs or acceptors that could further improve the performance of NFSM-OSCs.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the design and synthesis of a new donor molecule B1, comprising phenyl-substituted benzodithiophene (BDT) central unit, and its comparison with thiophene-substituted BDT-based material, BTR. The molecular geometries were investigated using density functional theory (DFT) analysis.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The solar cells were prepared with the same non-fullerene acceptor, BO-4Cl.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Instruments used included a Bruker AVANCE 400 and 75 MHz NMR spectrometer, Hitachi UH5300 spectrophotometer, CHI650D electrochemical workstation, Bruker Nanoscope V AF microscope, Tecnai G2 F20 U-TWIN TEM instrument, and XEUSS SAXS/WAXS SYSTEM.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The photovoltaic devices were fabricated with a conventional structure of ITO/PEDOT:PSS/BHJ/PFN-Br/Al. The active layer solutions were spin-coated and treated with solvent vapor annealing (SVA).
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The photocurrent analysis was performed to investigate the charge generation, dissociation, and extraction processes. The morphology of the active layer was investigated using AFM and TEM.
