A diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) and perylene diimide (PDI)-based molecule, denoted as PDI-DPP-PDI, was investigated an electron acceptor material in bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells, with poly[[4,8-bis [5-(2-ethylhexyl)-2-thienyl]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl] [2-(2-ethyl-1-oxohexyl)thieno[3,4-b]thiophenediyl]] (PBDTTT-CT) donor. The donor polymer the molecule have complementary absorption spectra, which is essential feature for energy collection organic cells. However, AFM images indicated presence of isolated microsized PDI-DPP-PDI domains along surface films, reduced power conversion efficiency. Therefore, to improve homogenization film, a post-deposition treatment, solvent vapor annealing (SVA), performed saturated atmosphere containing vapour 3-10 minutes. This procedure changed optical morphological properties PBDTTT-CT : active layer, resulting increased efficiency values by more than 2.5 times (reaching 5.1%). Theoretical simulation pointed out that experimental absorbance band localized at 580 nm, appeared after SVA possibly related intense simulated maximum 572 from pair transitions starting copolymer ending regions where both are stacked about 3 Å. most significant natural transition orbitals (NTOs) these charge transfer character.

Herein we study the effects of borane incorporation in a perylene diimide (PDI)-based non-fullerene acceptor (NFA). We have previously demonstrated that PDI-bithiophene-PDI ((PDI)2Th2) compound can be synthesized via direct (hetero)arylation techniques and is easily modified to incorporate phosphole bithiophene core ((PDI)2Th2PO) tune electronic geometric properties. In this work, analogue ((PDI)2Th2B) organoboron moiety heavily influences optical, electronic, To determine functionalization on device performance, green solvent solution-processed bulk-heterojunction solar cells were fabricated using medium-gap donor polymer TTFQx-T1 each PDI as NFA, respectively. Devices with new borane-containing provided highest efficiency, more than twice for other compounds, which was attributed highly twisted structure allowing favorable active-layer morphology formed.

This work covers the development of non-fullerene acceptors for use in organic photovoltaics built using N-annulated perylene diimide dye. The classic dye has been extensively used to construct acceptors, leading device power conversion efficiencies over 10%. Strong visible light absorption and deep frontier molecular energy levels have made such materials (both polymeric) near ideal pairing with narrow-gap conjugated polymers bulk-heterojunction active layers. N-annulation provides an extra site side-chain engineering alters electronic structure polycyclic aromatic core. In addition, allows selective bromination core, building blocks that are useful construction large frameworks atom-economical direct heteroarylation cross-coupling method. Herein, we detail a series molecules developed by our team based on form dimers different cores electron-rich electron-deficient); varied side chains; tetramers varying geometries; large, asymmetric internal cascades. these as photovoltaic devices (binary ternary blends, outdoor indoor applications, spin-coated vs. slot-die-coated photoactive layers) is presented.
