Low-Cost and High-Performance Polymer Solar Cells with Efficiency Insensitive to Active-Layer Thickness

Xiaolei Kong et al.

Summary: The rapid increase in power conversion efficiency (PCE) of polymer solar cells (PSCs) has brought them closer to large-scale commercialization. However, issues like material cost and PCE sensitivity to active-layer thickness need to be addressed. In this study, a high-performance ternary PSC was fabricated using a low-cost polymer donor PTQ10 and a new A-DA'D-A-type small molecule acceptor (SMA) m-TEH. The optimized ternary PSCs exhibited an outstanding PCE of 19.34% and showed superior tolerance to active-layer thickness, achieving a PCE of 18.02% even at 300 nm. These results suggest great potential for future large-scale production and commercial application of PSCs based on PTQ10:m-TEH:m-PEH.

The effect of alkyl substitution position of thienyl outer side chains on photovoltaic performance of A-DA′D-A type acceptors

Xiaolei Kong et al.

Summary: The side chain configuration of organic small molecule acceptors (SMAs) has been found to significantly impact their intermolecular interaction and aggregation morphology. In this study, two isomeric A-DA 'D-A type SMAs with thienyl outer side chains were designed and synthesized to investigate the effects of thienyl conjugated outer side chains and the alkyl substitution position on SMA properties. It was found that the beta-substituted m-TEH SMA exhibited stronger intermolecular interaction and higher electron mobility compared to the alpha-substituted o-TEH SMA. Furthermore, the m-TEH blend film with the PBQ6 polymer donor showed more suitable phase separation, enhanced molecular packing, and improved hole and electron mobilities compared to the o-TEH blend film. Organic solar cells based on PBQ6:m-TEH achieved a significantly higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.51% compared to PBQ6:o-TEH based solar cells. This study demonstrates that m-TEH with 2-ethylhexyl beta-substituted thienyl outer side chains is an excellent high-performance SMA for organic solar cells.
