Description

Organic donor-acceptor system

The invention relates to amphiphilic organic molecules for active layers in electronic devices, comprising at least one organic donor-acceptor system and chemical groups. The organic donor-acceptor system forms a molecular triad. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the self-assembly of amphiphilic organic molecules, wherein at least a first amphiphilic organic molecule with at least one second amphiphilic organic molecule by means of ττ-ττ interaction stacked to a three-dimensional phase-separated single layer or bilayer.

Electronic components, such as Organic solar cells are increasingly used in everyday as well as industrial environments. Organic photovoltaics (OPV) convert solar energy into electrical energy cost-effectively. This is done on the basis of the use of photoactive donor-acceptor systems. The photoactive donor-acceptor system consists of two organic materials, which are phase-separated in the photoactive layer. The light incident on an organic solar cell generates excitons (strongly bound electron-hole pairs) in the respective material as a result of the photoexcitation of the donor or acceptor material. The excitons diffuse to the donor-acceptor interface, or recombine in the generated material. The excitons that reach the boundary layer are separated into a hole on the donor and an electron on the acceptor material. The separate charges can now diffuse and drift to the respective electrodes of the solar cell, thus contributing to the usable current of the solar cell. However, this separation process, the exciton to free charge carriers, leads to high voltage losses in organic solar cells. In view of a large-scale, profitable use of OPV, the charge carrier mobility should be increased, and the voltage losses through the separation process should be reduced, which would lead to an increase in the efficiency.

The charge-carrier mobility of conjugated molecules in a crystalline arrangement may be higher than 1 cm ² / Vs. In previous organic solar cells, however, the charge-carrier mobility is 10 ^"5 - 10 ^{" 3} cm s. This low charge-carrier mobility is caused by the strong phase mixing of the donor and acceptor materials, which prevent large crystalline areas. The strong phase mixing is necessary because the photogenerated exciton diffuses only a few nanometers before it recombines. To separate as many excitons, therefore, the donor and acceptor phase sizes must also be in the range of a few nanometers. Molecular triads comprising a donor, a spacer, and an acceptor revealed carrier separation within the triad [1, 2]. However, the previously published conversion efficiencies in photovoltaic devices are still very low due to a lack of phase separation, too low crystallinity in the donor phase and acceptor phase, and the associated inefficient charge carrier transport to the respective electrodes [3,4]. In addition, donor, spacer and acceptor were sometimes directly covalently linked together. This can disadvantageously lead to the wave function of the electron and the hole propagating across the boundary layer and thus having an exciton-binding energy which is too high for thermal separation [5], resulting in recombination of the exciton and thus adversely inefficient Separation of the charge carriers leads.

In [10] amphiphilic dyads are described which have as donor Pz _n and as acceptor Ceo fullerenes and an interposed linker. Although hollow bodies such as nanotubes can be formed by the formation of the molecules shown in [10], due to the unequal dimensioning of the space occupied by donors and acceptors perpendicular to the molecule, no parallel arrangement of these molecules into single or double layers can take place, as a result of which the charge carrier injection and charge carrier extraction to the flat electrodes is adversely affected.

US 2015/0076418 A1 discloses organic molecules having a plurality of donor and acceptor moieties containing triads having donors and acceptors with molecules of similar dimensioning. These triads consist of donor-acceptor-donor triads or acceptor-donor-acceptor triads, and have no spacer, which is disadvantageous in photovoltaic applications inefficient charge separation.

The object of the present invention is to provide a donor-acceptor system which overcomes the disadvantages of the prior art.

In this case, the active interface of the donor-acceptor system is to be improved by the position and orientation of the donor and acceptor to each other is controlled and controlled by chemical groups. Advantageously, by a self-assembly of donor-acceptor systems contained organic molecules and the associated improved morphology improved exciton dissociation and a significant increased carrier mobility can be achieved. This reduces voltage losses and enables higher efficiencies of organic solar cells.

According to the invention the object is achieved by an amphiphilic organic molecule according to the independent claims. Advantageous embodiments of the invention are specified in the dependent claims.

A first aspect of the invention relates to an amphiphilic organic molecule for active layers in electronic components which comprises as constituents at least one organic donor-acceptor system and chemical groups. The amphiphilic organic molecule according to the invention serves for the production of active layers for electronic components. For the purposes of the invention, electronic components preferably include semiconducting materials, wherein these components need not be limited to semiconducting materials. In the context of the invention, an active layer is understood as meaning a layer with a donor-acceptor system, wherein in the self-assembled donor and acceptor phases, for organic components, more efficient charge carrier transport takes place, which can be used for various electronic components.
