Unidirectional Sidechain Engineering to Construct Dual‐Asymmetric Acceptors for 19.23 % Efficiency Organic Solar Cells with Low Energy Loss and Efficient Charge Transfer

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 62(36)

Achieving both high open-circuit voltage (Voc ) and short-circuit current density (Jsc to boost power-conversion efficiency (PCE) is a major challenge for organic solar cells (OSCs), wherein energy loss (Eloss inefficient charge transfer usually take place. Here, three new Y-series acceptors of mono-asymmetric asy-YC11 dual-asymmetric bi-asy-YC9 bi-asy-YC12 are developed. They share the same asymmetric D1 AD2 (D1 =thieno[3,2-b]thiophene D2 =selenopheno[3,2-b]thiophene) fused-core but have different unidirectional sidechain on side, allowing fine-tuned molecular properties, such as intermolecular interaction, packing pattern, crystallinity. Among binary blends, PM6 : one has better morphology with appropriate phase separation higher order than asy-YC9 bi-asy-YC11 ones. Therefore, bi-asy-YC12-based OSCs offer PCE 17.16 % Voc Jsc , due reduced Eloss efficient properties. Inspired by strong NIR-absorption, introduced into L8-BO construct ternary OSCs. Thanks broadened absorption, optimized morphology, furtherly minimized achieve champion 19.23 %, which highest efficiencies among these annealing-free devices. Our developed engineering constructing bi-asymmetric provides an approach

Ductile Oligomeric Acceptor‐Modified Flexible Organic Solar Cells Show Excellent Mechanical Robustness and Near 18% Efficiency

High power conversion efficiency (PCE) and mechanical robustness are key requirements for wearable applications of organic solar cells (OSCs). However, almost all highly efficient photoactive films comprising polymer donors (PD ) small molecule acceptors (SMAs) mechanically brittle. In this study, (PCE = 17.91%) robust (crack-onset strain [COS] 11.7%) flexible OSCs fabricated by incorporating a ductile oligomeric acceptor (DOA) into the PD :SMA system, representing most to date. The photophysical, mechanical, photovoltaic properties D18:N3 with different DOAs characterized. By introducing DOA DOY-C4 longer alkyl linker lower polymerization, D18:N3:DOY-C4-based exhibit significantly higher PCE (17.91%) 50% COS (11.7%) than D18:N3-based device 17.06%, 7.8%). based on D18:N3:DOY-C4 retain 98% initial after 2000 consecutive bending cycles, showing greater stability reference (maintaining 89% PCE). After careful investigation, it is hypothesized that enhancement in mainly due formation tie chains or entanglement ternary blend films. These results demonstrate have great potential achieving high-performance OSCs.

Poly(dimethylsiloxane)‐block‐PM6 Polymer Donors for High‐Performance and Mechanically Robust Polymer Solar Cells

Advanced Materials, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 35(24)

Published: March 17, 2023

High power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stretchability are the dual requirements for wearable application of polymer solar cells (PSCs). However, most efficient photoactive films mechanically brittle. In this work, highly (PCE = 18%) robust (crack-onset strain (COS) PSCs acheived by designing block copolymer (BCP) donors, PM6-b-PDMSx (x 5k, 12k, 19k). these BCP stretchable poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) blocks covalently linked with PM6 to effectively increase stretchability. The donors increases a longer PDMS block, PM6-b-PDMS19k :L8-BO PSC exhibits high PCE (18%) 9-times higher COS value compared that (COS 2%) PM6:L8-BO-based PSC. PM6:L8-BO:PDMS12k ternary blend shows inferior (5%) (1%) due macrophase separation between active components. intrinsically PSC, significantly greater mechanical stability PCE80% ((80% initial PCE) at 36% strain) than those PM6:L8-BO (PCE80% 12% PM6:L8-BO:PDMS 4% strain). This study suggests an effective design strategy PD achieve PSCs.
