Description

Conjugated organic small molecule and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of photoelectric materials, in particular to a conjugated organic small molecule and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
With the continuous development of economy and society, people have higher and higher demands for energy, and traditional fossil energy cannot be regenerated in a short time, so that new energy development is imperative. Among the existing solar cells, organic Solar Cells (OSC) are one of the most promising technologies for producing low-cost energy sources, and have the advantages of light weight, wide material sources, strong energy level and absorption spectrum adjustability, translucency, and the like. Because of these excellent characteristics, a great deal of researchers have been attracted to study how to improve the energy conversion efficiency (PCE) of an organic solar cell device in the last several decades. In recent years, with the rapid development of non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) materials, the energy conversion efficiency of organic solar cells has been greatly improved. To date, PCEs of organic solar cells certified by the national renewable energy laboratory have reached 18.2% and even single junction OSC efficiencies reported in the literature have reached nearly 19%.
The donor materials used for high efficiency OSCs are mostly polymeric materials, the polymers being generally determined in molecular weight by molecular weight distribution, which makes the polymeric OSCs prone to batch-to-batch variation in production and preparation. The organic small molecules have definite chemical structures, the molecular weight is also definite, the separation and purification are easier and more thorough, the controllability in mass preparation is stronger, meanwhile, the small molecules can avoid certain characteristics of the high molecules, such as defects of chain links and chain ends, and the defects can lead to structural disorder and low-level trap states. Although organic small molecule materials are simpler in structure and easier to prepare, modify and optimize than polymeric donor materials, the development of small molecule donor materials lags behind the development of polymeric donors, and the efficiency of all small molecule organic solar cells (ASM-OSC) reported to date is 16.28%, so developing an all small molecule OSC with a high PCE is one of the important challenges facing today.

As shown in FIG. 3, the highest occupied orbitals (HOMO) levels of BDF-1, BDF-2, BDF-3, respectively, -5.50eV, -5.52eV, -5.42eV, and the lowest unoccupied orbitals (LUMO) levels of-3.58 eV, -3.54eV, -3.52eV, respectively, as measured by Cyclic Voltammetry (CV), while the reported HOMO and LUMO levels of Y6 are-5.65 eV and-4.10 eV, respectively, indicating that there is sufficient voltage between the acceptors to drive exciton dissociation. Wherein Fc/Fc in FIG. 3 + Indicating the potential of the reference electrode.
Therefore, since the conjugated organic small molecules adopted in the embodiment of the invention take BDF units as cores, BDF can serve as electron donating centers to regulate energy level and absorption; in addition, the thiophene side chain in the conjugated organic micromolecule structure contains fluorine, so that the energy level of the highest occupied orbit (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied orbit (LUMO) of the material can be effectively reduced, and the material and an acceptor have better energy level matching; in addition, the electron withdrawing groups on the cyanoacetate or the rhodanine as end groups may also lower the HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the molecule. Therefore, BDF-1, BDF-2 and BDF-3 prepared by the embodiment of the invention are used as donor materials, can form good complementation with the absorption of a low band gap acceptor material when being applied to an organic solar cell, are beneficial to obtaining high short circuit current and high open circuit voltage, and realize improvement of device efficiency (for example, embodiment 4-embodiment 6).
As shown in FIG. 4, BDF-1, BDF-2 and BDF-3 are obtained through Thermal Gravimetric Analysis (TGA) at the temperature of 355.8 ℃ and 350.8 ℃ and 385.5 ℃ respectively at the temperature of 5% thermal gravimetric analysis, which shows that all three materials have good thermal stability, so that the materials can still keep the high voltage level at the high thermal annealing temperature (120 ℃).
As shown in FIGS. 5-7, it can be seen that three conjugated small organic molecules BDF-1, BDF-2 and BDF-3 have good solubility and film forming property in common organic solvents (such as chloroform, chlorobenzene and o-dichlorobenzene) by ultraviolet-visible light absorption spectra of conjugated organic molecules BDF-1, BDF-2 and BDF-3 in examples 1-3 under chloroform solution and film and ultraviolet-visible light absorption spectra of conjugated organic molecules BDF-1, BDF-2 and BDF-3 under film after being respectively blended with Y6 in examples 4-6.
As shown in fig. 8, the current-voltage curves of the organic solar cell devices using the conjugated organic molecules BDF-1, BDF-2 and BDF-3 in examples 4 to 6 show that the organic solar cell fabricated using the conjugated organic small molecules having a-pi-D-pi-a type structure according to the embodiment of the present invention can generate a higher short circuit current.
