Low-bandgap nonfullerene acceptor based on thieno[3,2-b]indole core for highly efficient binary and ternary organic solar cells
Artikel i vetenskaplig tidskrift, 2022
A low-bandgap nonfullerene acceptor (NFA) TIT-2FIC based on thieno[3,2-b]indole-thiophenes core has been developed. Compared with the analogue NFAs DTC(4Ph)-4FIC and IT-4F, TIT-2FIC exhibited remarkably red-shifted absorption, and up-shifted HOMO energy level. In addition, TIT-2FIC showed interesting universal miscibility with the donors nonfluorinated PBDB-T and fluorinated PM6, therefore the corresponding organic solar cells achieved promising power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 11.80% and 13.00%, respectively, which are higher compared to the counterpart IT-4F based cells. Furthermore, the ternary PM6:TIT-2FIC:Y6 cell pronounced a high PCE of 17.22%, being significantly improved from that of 16.04% for the binary PM6:Y6 cell. Similar improvement in PCEs from 13.41% to 14.46% was also observed in the ternary PM6:TIT-2FIC:IT-4F cell with TIT-2FIC as the third component. These results indicated that TIT-2FIC is universally applicable as an acceptor with nonfluorinated or fluorinated polymer donor materials in both binary and ternary cells.
