Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of heterocyclic compounds, and in particular relates to a DPP-bridged perylene imide compound, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof in an organic solar cell. Background Art

[0002] Perylene imide compounds have the characteristics of low cost, good photochemical stability, strong light absorption ability, high electron mobility, and easy functionalization to adjust solubility, energy level and molecular configuration, so they have attracted widespread attention from researchers. With the joint efforts of researchers in multiple fields such as material synthesis and device physics, perylene imide materials have made great progress in the field of organic semiconductors and have shown extremely excellent application prospects. Although the larger planar conjugated structure of perylene imide molecules is conducive to the formation of tight π-π stacking, thereby obtaining higher electron mobility. However, when it is used in organic solar cell (OSCs) devices, this aggregation behavior will lead to excessively large phase separation scale, which seriously hinders the efficient dissociation of excitons and greatly reduces the performance of the device. Therefore, achieving a balance between the molecular conjugation size and the degree of distortion to take into account both carrier mobility and exciton dissociation efficiency is an effective way to obtain high-performance perylene imide receptors.

[0003] However, existing perylene imide compounds generally have the following disadvantages: (1) The perylene imide molecules have strong interactions and are prone to self-aggregation. (2) Exciton dissociation is difficult because large phase separation is likely to occur between the donor and acceptor materials. Therefore, further structural modification of perylene imide electron acceptor materials is required. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a 2,5-dihydro-1,4-diketopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole (DPP)-bridged perylene imide compound and a preparation method thereof as well as an application in an organic solar cell in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art. The compound uses DPP as a bridge D unit connecting two perylene imide molecules to obtain a DPP-bridged perylene imide compound, which combines the advantages of perylene imide and 2,5-dihydro-1,4-diketopyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrole compounds, and an organic solar cell device prepared with the compound as a semiconductor layer has high photoelectric conversion efficiency.
