Journal of the American Chemical Society, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 145(22), С. 11914 - 11920

Designing new polymer semiconductors for intrinsically stretchable solar cells (IS-PSCs) with high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and durability is critical wearable electronics applications. Nearly all high-performance PSCs are constructed using fully conjugated donors (PD) small-molecule acceptors (SMA). However, a successful molecular design of PDs mechanically durable IS-PSCs without sacrificing conjugation has not been realized. In this study, we novel thymine side chain terminated 6,7-difluoro-quinoxaline (Q-Thy) monomer synthesize series (PM7-Thy5, PM7-Thy10, PM7-Thy20) featuring Q-Thy. The Q-Thy units capable inducing dimerizable hydrogen bonding enable strong intermolecular PD assembly highly efficient robust PSCs. PM7-Thy10:SMA blend demonstrates combination PCE (>17%) in rigid devices excellent stretchability (crack-onset value >13.5%). More importantly, PM7-Thy10-based show an unprecedented (13.7%) ultrahigh mechanical (maintaining 80% initial after 43% strain), illustrating the promising potential commercialization

All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) have been regarded as one of the most promising candidates for commercial applications owing to their outstanding advantages such mechanical flexibility, light weight and stable film morphology. However, compared large amount new-emerging excellent polymer acceptors, development high-performance donor lags behind. Herein, a new D-π-A type donor, namely QQ1, was developed based on dithienoquinoxalineimide (DTQI) A unit, benzodithiophene with thiophene-conjugated side chains (BDTT) D alkyl-thiophene π-bridge, respectively. QQ1 not only possesses strong dipole moment, but also shows wide band gap 1.80 eV deep HOMO energy level -5.47 eV, even without halogen substituents that are commonly indispensable donors. When blended classic acceptor PY-IT, QQ1-based all-PSC delivers an PCE 18.81 %. After introduction F-BTA3 third component, record 19.20 % obtained, highest value reported so far all-PSCs. The impressive photovoltaic performance originates from broad absorption range, reduced loss, compact π-π stacking. These results provide insight in rational design novel nonhalogenated donors further

Abstract Power-conversion-efficiencies (PCEs) of organic solar cells (OSCs) in laboratory, normally processed by spin-coating technology with toxic halogenated solvents, have reached over 19%. However, there is usually a marked PCE drop when the blade-coating and/or green-solvents toward large-scale printing are used instead, which hampers practical development OSCs. Here, new series N -alkyl-tailored small molecule acceptors named YR-SeNF same molecular main backbone developed combining selenium-fused central-core and naphthalene-fused end-group. Thanks to -alkyl engineering, NIR-absorbing show different crystallinity, packing patterns, miscibility polymeric donor. The studies exhibit that packing, vertical distribution active layer morphologies well optimized introducing newly designed guest acceptor associated tailored chains, providing improved charge transfer dynamics stability for PM6:L8-BO:YR-SeNF-based As result, record-high approaching 19% achieved OSCs fabricated from green-solvent o -xylene high-boiling point. Notably, ternary offer robust operating under maximum-power-point tracking well-keep > 80% initial PCEs even 400 h. Our alkyl-tailored strategy provides unique approach develop high-efficiency stable OSCs, paves way industrial development.
