Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 62(36)

Опубликована: Июль 18, 2023

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.

The determination of molecular conformations oligomeric acceptors (OAs) and their impact on packing are crucial for understanding the photovoltaic performance resulting polymer solar cells (PSCs) but have not been well studied yet. Herein, we synthesized two dimeric acceptor materials, DIBP3F-Se DIBP3F-S, which bridged segments Y6-derivatives by selenophene thiophene, respectively. Theoretical simulation experimental 1D 2D NMR spectroscopic studies prove that both dimers exhibit O-shaped other than S- or U-shaped counter-ones. Notably, this conformation is likely governed a distinctive "conformational lock" mechanism, arising from intensified intramolecular π-π interactions among terminal groups within dimers. PSCs based deliver maximum efficiency 18.09 %, outperforming DIBP3F-S-based (16.11 %) ranking highest efficiencies OA-based PSCs. This work demonstrates facile method to obtain OA highlights potential high-performance

Abstract Peripheral halogen regulations can endow non‐fullerene acceptors (NFAs) with enhanced features as organic semi‐conductors and further boost efficient solar cells (OSCs). Herein, based on a remarkable molecular platform of CH14 more than six halogenation positions, preferred NFA CH23 is constructed by synergetic swapping both central end units, rendering the overall enlarged dipole moment, packing density thus relative dielectric constant. Consequently, CH23‐based binary OSC reaches an excellent efficiency 18.77% due to its improved charge transfer/transport dynamics, much better that 17.81% for control CH14. This work demonstrates great potential achieving state‐of‐the‐art OSCs delicately regulating formula these newly explored CH‐series NFAs.
