Description

Application of n-type A-DA' D-A micromolecule receptor containing thiophene conjugated side chain in high-efficiency organic solar cell
Technical Field
The invention relates to application of an n-type A-DA' D-A micromolecule receptor containing a thiophene conjugated side chain in a high-efficiency organic solar cell.
Background
Energy is used as an important material basis and continuously pushes the development of world economy and human society. In recent years, with the continuous increase in energy demand and the increasing severity of environmental problems such as greenhouse effect, clean renewable energy sources such as: solar energy, wind energy, water energy, biomass energy and the like become important measures for promoting energy structure transformation and coping with climate change in countries in the world. Among various renewable energy technologies, a solar cell that directly converts solar energy into electric energy has attracted attention due to its advantages such as wide application range, safety, convenience, and the like, and has been developed for a long time in the past few decades. Organic Solar Cells (OSCs) have received much attention due to their advantages such as simple device structures, low-cost processing techniques, versatile and controllable materials, and the ability to fabricate lightweight, flexible, translucent devices. [ Y.Li, acc.chem.Res.2012,45, 723.J.Yuan, Y.Zhang, L.Zhou, G.Zhang, H.L.YIp, T.K.Lau, X.Lu, C.Zhu, H.Peng, P.A.Johnson, M.Leclerc, Y.Cao, J.Ulanski, Y.Li, Y.Zou, joule 2019,3,1140 ]. In common OSCs, the active layer materials are divided into p-type conjugated polymer donors and n-type small molecule acceptors. In the past few years, due to the breakthrough of wide-bandgap polymer donor materials and narrow-bandgap small-molecule acceptor materials, especially the rapid development of A-DA' D-A type n-type small-molecule acceptor materials, the energy conversion efficiency (PCE) of OSCs is breakthrough by 18%, which makes the commercial application of organic solar cells further forward.
Thiophene is a five-membered heterocyclic compound containing a sulfur heteroatom, has aromaticity, and is more likely to undergo electrophilic substitution than benzene, and the substitution mainly occurs at the alpha-position (2-position or 5-position). The thiophene can be used for producing various dyes, perfumes, rapid cooling and heating resistant plastics, high-activity solvents, stimulants, insecticides, brightening agents, cosmetics, biological active substances, vitamins, anesthetics, antibiotics and other medicines. As thiophene has excellent conductive characteristics, polythiophene synthesized by a chemical method or an electrochemical method is a conductive polymer material with potential application prospect. Meanwhile, thiophene can be introduced into polymer materials and small molecule materials by simple chemical means, which is often used as a conjugated unit for electron donation in organic solar cells, and thus is also gaining wide attention [ y.lin, f.zhao, q.he, l.huo, y.wu, t.c.parker, w.ma, y.sun, c.wang, d.zhu, a.j.heeger, s.r.marder, x.zhan, j.am.chem.soc.2016,138,4955; cui, y.li, energy environ.sci.2019,12,3225.
A-DA 'D-A type small molecule acceptor in the organic solar cell generally refers to a molecule formed by connecting two electron-deficient (A) terminal groups through an intermediate DA' D condensed ring nuclear structure. Such structures typically consist of three active modules: DA' D fused ring core structure, side chains on the fused ring, and electron-deficient A terminus. The side chain not only is helpful for improving the molecular solubility, but also can effectively prevent the self-aggregation of the coplanar condensed ring nuclear structure and prevent the serious phase separation formed after the acceptor molecule and the donor are blended.
The group of the forever ship subjects of the institute of chemistry of the chinese academy of sciences, introduced the conjugated side chain into the molecular design of the polymer donor photovoltaic material at the earliest [ j.hou, z.tan, y.yan, y.he, c.yang, y.f.li, j.am.chem.soc.,2006,128: 4911-4916 ], and later, the benzodithiophene unit with the thiophene conjugated side chain became the star electron (D) structural unit of the high-efficiency D-a copolymer donor photovoltaic material [ l.huo, s.zhang, x.guo, f.xu, y.f.li, j.hou, angelw.chem.int.ed., 2011,50,9697-9702 ]; cui, y.li, energy environ.sci.2019,12,3225], because introduction of thiophene side chains can further expand the pi conjugation length of the main chain while obtaining a rigid planar structure, which is beneficial to delocalization of polarons and transmission of carriers. In addition, a larger pi conjugation area is also beneficial to enhance pi-pi interaction between chains, enhance interaction between donor and acceptor, and improve molecular orientation of the interface. Therefore, the thiophene conjugated side chain is introduced to the DA 'D condensed ring unit of the A-DA' D-A type micromolecule receptor, the photovoltaic performance of the receptor is expected to be improved, the energy conversion efficiency of a corresponding organic photovoltaic device is improved, and the application prospect is wide.
