Layer‐by‐Layer Organic Solar Cells Enabled by 1,3,4‐Selenadiazole‐Containing Crystalline Small Molecule with Double‐Fibril Network Morphology

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 63(21)

Published: March 27, 2024

A double-fibril network of the photoactive layer morphology is recognized as an ideal structure facilitating exciton diffusion and charge carrier transport for high-performance organic solar cells (OSCs). However, in layer-by-layer processed OSCs (LbL-OSCs), polymer donors small molecule acceptors (SMAs) are separately deposited, it challenging to realize a fibril pure SMAs with absence tight interchain entanglement polymers. In this work, crystalline (SMDs), named TDZ-3TR SeDZ-3TR, were designed introduced into L8-BO acceptor solution, forcing phase separation molecular fibrilization. SeDZ-3TR showed higher crystallinity lower miscibility than TDZ-3TR, enabling more driving force favor better fibrilization L8-BO. On other hand, two donor polymers PM6 D18 different widths lengths put together optimize layer. The simultaneously optimization layers resulted impressive power conversion efficiency (PCE) 19.38 % LbL-OSCs.

Advanced Functional Materials, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 9, 2025

Abstract Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) offers unprecedented control over active layer morphology in organic solar cells (OSCs), yet optimal processing conditions remain critical for maximizing device performance. Here, pressure‐dependent NIL fabrication of ordered interdigitated heterojunction structures is demonstrated D18/L8‐BO‐based OSCs, achieving exceptional performance through systematic pressure optimization. At an 50 bar, devices exhibit record‐setting metrics: 20.08% power conversion efficiency, 27.34 mA cm −2 short‐circuit current density, and 80.34% fill factor. The NIL‐patterned layers form well‐defined, solvent‐resistant nanopillar arrays (8.7–29 nm height) with enhanced light‐harvesting capabilities. Detailed characterization reveals improved molecular ordering both donor acceptor phases, while advanced spectroscopy demonstrates accelerated charge transfer dynamics reduced exciton dissociation diffusion times. This pressure‐optimized strategy simultaneously enhances the optical, morphological, electronic properties establishing a promising pathway toward commercial‐scale photovoltaic technology.
