Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of organic compound synthesis and organic solar cell device preparation, in particular to a dimeric electron acceptor, a preparation method thereof and an organic photovoltaic device comprising the dimeric electron acceptor. Background Art

[0002] In response to the energy crisis, organic solar cells have attracted much attention in recent years. With the continuous development and application of its active layer materials, new receptor materials have also become a research hotspot. Among them, non-fullerene receptors, especially the pioneering polycyclic electron receptors, have rapidly emerged, which is conducive to promoting the efficiency of organic solar cells to exceed 20%, which is close to the level of crystalline silicon solar cells, and pushing the field into the "non-fullerene era".

[0003] At present, the development of receptor molecules mainly focuses on three aspects: small molecules, dimers and polymers. Among them, polymers have good film-forming properties, but have disadvantages such as uncontrollable synthesis and large batch differences. Therefore, the repeatability of materials and devices is poor, which is a bottleneck in the commercialization process. Small molecules have a clear structure and are synthetically controllable, which solves the problem of batch differences. However, charge transport is strongly dependent on crystallinity, and the optimal active layer morphology is difficult to obtain, which affects the performance and stability of the device. The dimer material between the two has the advantages of both and has become a hot topic of research. At present, the opening voltage is mainly improved by introducing some groups that can weaken the charge transfer within the molecule into the molecular structure, so that the absorption spectrum is blue-shifted, but this usually reduces the filling and current while increasing the opening voltage.

[0004] In addition, since halogenated solvents have good solubility for materials, most photovoltaic devices in the past have been prepared using toxic halogenated solvents, such as chloroform, which limits the preparation of large-area devices in industry.

[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to invent a dimeric electron acceptor and organic photovoltaic device processed by non-toxic solvents with both high opening voltage and power conversion efficiency (PCE) to solve the problem of practical application. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to combine high opening voltage characteristics with dimer advantages, and provide a high opening voltage dimer electron receptor, which is a new type of receptor material obtained by improving the existing non-fullerene receptor structure, with 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene or 3,4-dimethoxythiophene units as connecting units, and alkoxy side chains connected to the outer chains. The solar cell device using the dimer electron receptor as the receptor material has an open circuit voltage V oc It can reach 1.02V, and the energy conversion efficiency PCE is 15.1%, which is the highest V oc The highest PCE value is found in the dimeric receptor system >1V.

[0022] Furthermore, the feed ratio of the compound 3, phosphorus oxychloride and N,N-dimethylformamide is 1:(6-10):(6-10).

[0023] S4: Compound 4 is reacted to generate compound 5-1 / 5-2; in this step, zero-valent palladium is used as a catalyst, and the thiophene unit is bridged to two compounds 4 through Stillecoupling reaction. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium is used as a catalyst and toluene is used as a solvent, and the yield is above 50%.
