研究目的
To design and synthesize a panchromatic absorptive conjugated terpolymer, BDTID-BDT3MT, for highly efficient light harvesting under solar illumination and its application to polymer solar cells.
研究成果
The study successfully synthesized a panchromatic absorptive conjugated terpolymer, BDTID-BDT3MT, which exhibited a broad absorption spectrum and high power conversion efficiency in polymer solar cells. The terpolymer's performance was attributed to its high light harvesting efficiency and favorable nano-phase film morphology. The findings suggest that BDT, ID, and 3 MT units are effective building blocks for conjugated terpolymers with panchromatic absorption.
研究不足
The study does not extensively explore the effects of annealing and the incorporation of additives on device performance, indicating potential areas for optimization in future research.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the synthesis of a conjugated terpolymer using benzodithiophene (BDT), isoindigo (ID), and methyl-3-thiophenecarboxylate (3 MT) as monomers. The synthesis was performed via Stille-coupling polymerization.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The monomers M1, M2, and M3 were synthesized following reported procedures. The synthesized polymers were purified via Soxhlet extraction.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Schlenk tube, Pd2(dba)3, P(o-tolyl)3, toluene, methanol, acetone, hexane, dichloromethane (DCM), and gel permeation chromatography (GPC) for molecular weight measurement.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The monomers were polymerized in toluene at 110°C for 24 h, followed by purification via precipitation into methanol and Soxhlet extraction. The polymers were characterized using UV–vis absorption spectra, cyclic voltammetry (CV), and atomic force microscopy (AFM).
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The optical and electrochemical properties of the polymers were analyzed using UV–vis absorption spectra and CV. The morphology of the blend films was studied using AFM.
