Résumé

Side chains of photovoltaic materials play an important role in determining charge transport property, film morphology, and the corresponding device performance. In this work, two new acceptor materials, ATT-6 and ATT-7 with different side chains, m-hexylphenyl and m-hexyloxyphenyl on the indacenodithiophene, are designed and synthesized for applications in non-fullerene polymer solar cells. ATT-7 shows a higher absorption coefficient, increased crystallinity, and improved electron mobility in comparison with ATT-6. Using wide-bandgap polymer poly[(2,6-(4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)-benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene))-alt-(5,5-(1',3'-di-2-thienyl-5',7'-bis(2-ethylhexyl)benzo[1',2'-c:4',5'-c']dithiophene-4,8-dione)] (PBDB-T) as donor, optimized devices based on PBDB-T:ATT-7 and PBDB-T:ATT-6 delivers power conversion efficiencies of 10.30% and 8.39%, respectively. The higher performance of ATT-7-based device can be attributed to efficient exciton dissociation, reduced bimolecular recombination, and enhanced and balanced charge carrier mobilities. These results indicate that side-chain modification is an easy but efficient way in the design of high-performance non-fullerene acceptors.
