Rationally regulating the pi-bridge of small molecule acceptors for efficient organic solar cells
JOURNAL OF MATERIALS CHEMISTRY A(2022)
摘要
Nonfullerene acceptors have boosted the power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs). Rigid fused-ring molecular skeletons enable decent molecular planarity and stacking orientations, but suffer from tedious synthesis procedures for those with large pi-backbones. Promisingly, the pi-bridge strategy provides an alternative to readily manipulate the light utilization, but sometimes increases the conformation complexity. To rationally regulate the performance of pi-bridged acceptors, herein, we report two new acceptors WA1 and WA2, functionalized with single or dual pi-bridges flanking the phenylalkyl modified indacenodithiophene (IDT) backbone. The unilateral pi-bridge endows WA1 with an asymmetric electron cloud distribution, affording a greater dipole moment and well-organized molecular orientation. In contrast, the bilateral pi-bridges endow WA2 with two disparate molecular dipoles and disordered stacking orientations, generating inferior PCEs below 10%. Notably, the PM6:WA1 device shows a remarkable PCE of up to 15.45% with an impressive fill factor (FF) of up to 79.31%, both of which rank among the highest values of OSCs with pi-bridged acceptors. More importantly, the PM6:Y6:WA1 ternary organic solar cell (TOSC) affords a high PCE of up to 18.15%, which is the best efficiency among Y6-based bulk-heterojunction TOSCs and the first example of an efficient ternary cell featuring a pi-bridged guest acceptor.
