Abstract The power conversion efficiency of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) has witnessed continuous breakthroughs in the past few years, mostly benefiting from extensive use a facile ternary blending strategy by host polymer donor:small molecule acceptor mixture with second small acceptor. Nevertheless, this rather general used well‐known PM6 systems fails constructing high‐performance P3HT‐based OPVs. As result, efficiencies all resulting blends based on benchmark P3HT:ZY‐4Cl and are no more than 8%. Employing mutual miscibility binary as guide to screen acceptor, here we were able break longstanding 10%‐efficiency barrier OPVs P3HT dual nonfullerene acceptors. With rational approach, identified multifunctional BTP‐2Br simultaneously improve photovoltaic performance both PM6‐based Attractively, P3HT:ZY‐4Cl:BTP‐2Br blend exhibited record‐breaking 11.41% for This is first‐ever report that over 11% achieved Importantly, study helps community rely less trial‐and‐error methods solar cells.

End‐extended Conjugation Strategy to Reduce the Efficiency‐Stability‐Mechanical Robustness Gap in Binary All‐Polymer Solar Cells

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Oct. 10, 2024

Concurrently achieving high efficiency, mechanical robustness and thermal stability is critical for the commercialization of all-polymer solar cells (APSCs). However, APSCs usually demonstrate complicated morphology, primarily attributed to polymer chain entanglement which has a detrimental effect on their fill factors (FF) morphology stability. To address these concerns, an end-group extended acceptor, PY-NFT, was synthesized studied. The analysis showed tightly ordered molecular packing mode favorable phase separation formed. PM6 : PY-NFT-based device achieved exceptional PCE 19.12 % (certified as 18.45 %), outperforming control PY-FT devices (17.14 %). This significant improvement highlights record-high binary APSCs. aging study revealed that PY-NFT blend exhibited excellent morphological stability, thereby superior retaining 90 initial efficiency after enduring stress (65 °C) 1500 hours. More importantly, film outstanding ductility with crack onset strain 24.1 %. Overall, rational chemical structure innovation, especially conjugation extension strategy trigger appropriate stable key improved robust
