By introduction of four hydroxy (HO) groups into the two perylene bisimide (PBI) bay areas, new HO-PBI ligands were obtained which upon deprotonation can complex Zn-II ions and photosensitize semiconductive zinc oxide thin films. Such coordination is beneficial for dispersing PBI photosensitizer molecules evenly into metal oxide films to fabricate organic-inorganic hybrid interlayers for organic solar cells. Supported by the photoconductive effect of the ZnO:HO-PBI hybrid interlayers, improved electron collection and transportation is achieved in fullerene and non-fullerene polymer solar cell devices, leading to remarkable power conversion efficiencies of up to 15.95 % for a non-fullerene based organic solar cell.
