Description

FIELDENE DERIVATIVES AND SALTS THEREOF FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001]

The present invention relates to a fluorene derivative and its salt, an electrolyte using the same, and a photoelectric conversion element.

The photoelectric conversion element means a device that converts a light signal into an electric signal by using a photoelectric effect. In particular, a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) of a photoelectric conversion device is a dye-sensitized solar cell developed by Gratzel et al. In Switzerland, and includes dye molecules capable of absorbing visible light to generate electron-hole pairs, It is a photoelectrochemical solar cell whose main constituent material is a transition metal that transfers electrons. Therefore, it is attracting attention as a new type of solar cell different from the conventional silicon solar cell.

The electrolyte used in this dye-sensitized solar cell is composed of a redox pair such as I - / I 3 -, and in the case of a liquid type electrolyte, the redox ion moves quickly in the medium to help regenerate the dye smoothly High energy conversion efficiency is possible, but if the bonding between the electrodes is not perfect, it has leakage problem. On the other hand, when the polymer is used as a medium, there is no fear of leaking, but since the movement of the oxidation-reduction species is slowed, it may adversely affect the energy conversion efficiency, so that when the polymer electrolyte is used, the oxidation- It is necessary to design it.

As a technique for solidifying a dye-sensitized solar cell, there is a method using a hole conductor. The hole conductor is classified into an inorganic hole conductor and an organic hole conductor. Among them, the inorganic hole conductor is difficult to fill the inside of the nanoporous film, so that it is not easy to produce a solid dye-sensitized solar cell. . Since the organic hole conductor can be dissolved in various solvents, the filling can be easily performed and the bonding property can be improved in the actual photoelectric conversion element. For example, an alkoxy group can be introduced to enhance the bonding property of the hole conductor. The compound in which the alkoxy group is introduced can be both liquid or solid, and these compounds are easily soluble in an organic solvent and are useful for device and battery fabrication.

As typical organic hole conductor compounds, arylamine compounds are generally well known. In addition, there are examples using pentacene, polythiophene, polyaniline, and polypyrrole-based compounds, but it is known that the photoelectric conversion efficiency is as low as less than 1%.
