Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor devices, and particularly to a bisbenzothiophene derivative, a preparation method thereof, and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] In today's world, energy is an important factor promoting economic development. With the continuous development of the economy and the improvement of people's living quality, the consumption of traditional fossil energy is increasing day by day, bringing serious environmental pollution. Therefore, the development of renewable energy has become an essential way. Solar energy has a large storage capacity and a wide distribution range, and is a reliable renewable clean energy. A solar cell directly converts light energy into electrical energy, which is an ideal way to utilize solar energy. An organic solar cell is a technical means to convert this clean energy of solar energy into electrical energy. In addition, the effective utilization of solar energy is also a key measure to solve the energy problem. Organic solar cells have the advantages of light weight, adjustable color, flexibility, etc. Moreover, an organic solar cell that is inexpensive, efficient, and can be prepared on a large scale has always been the goal pursued by people.

[0003] As a new type of third-generation photovoltaic technology, organic solar cells have broad application prospects in the future energy field. The competitiveness of organic solar cells mainly depends on their cost, power generation per unit weight, and low-energy-consumption and more environmentally friendly preparation. In recent years, due to the in-depth research on high-efficiency photovoltaic materials, device optimization, and interface engineering, the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) OSCs of polymer donors and non-fullerene small molecule acceptors (SMAs) have also developed rapidly. The bulk heterojunction (BHJ) type organic solar cells formed by combining polymer donors and small molecule acceptors have a power conversion efficiency (PCEs) exceeding 18% many times. Although this type of solar cell has a high power conversion efficiency, it also has some defects: poor mechanical properties and instability under light and heat conditions, etc.

[0004] In the prior art, high-efficiency organic solar devices are all realized by small-area devices, and at the same time, the spin coating agent mainly uses harmful halogenated solvents, which is difficult to meet the requirements for future commercial mass production. If large-area thick-film devices are prepared, the energy conversion efficiency will decrease significantly. Therefore, it is very important to develop non-fullerene acceptor materials suitable for large-area OSCs. Using large-area (>1 cm 2 ) printing technology to prepare a uniform thin film with a thickness of 100 nm is a difficult task.

[0005] Therefore, the development of a fused-ring non-fullerene acceptor material that can be processed at room temperature using non-halogen solvents and has a determined molecular weight is urgently needed for the development of high-efficiency and large-area organic solar cells. It is of great significance for the preparation of low-cost and large-area organic solar cells and the promotion of their commercialization process. Summary of the Invention

[0105] Performance testing

[0106] The preparation and characterization of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices are as follows:

[0107] As Figure 1 shown, the OPC device successively includes a substrate, a hole transport layer, an active layer, an electron transport layer, and a metal electrode. The commercially purchased indium tin oxide (ITO) glass (specification: 1.5 cm * 1.5 cm) substrate is first scrubbed with acetone, and then successively ultrasonically cleaned with detergent, water, deionized water, acetone, and isopropanol. After drying, a 30 nm thick PEDOT:PSS is spin-coated as the hole transport layer for standby. A chloroform blend solution (10 - 30 mg / mL) of the polymer donor material PM6 and biBT-4F or biBTT-4F prepared in Example 1 or 3 (weight ratio 1:1.2) and the additive chloronaphthalene (0.25% - 3%) is spin-coated on the PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer to form the active layer of the device. Finally, a layer of about 10 nm thick PNDIT-F3N is spin-coated as the electron transport layer and Ag (100 nm) as the device metal electrode to obtain a solar cell device structure: ITO / PEDOT:PSS / active layer / PNDIT-F3N / Ag).

[0108] Among them, the structures of the polymer donor material PM6 (purchased from Shuolun Organic Optoelectronic Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd.) and the electron transport layer PNDIT-F3N (purchased from Nanjing Zhiyan Technology Co., Ltd.) used in the above organic solar cell device are as follows:

[0109]

[0110]

[0111] The energy conversion efficiency of the solar cell was measured by using the Guangyan SS-F5-3A as a solar simulator at a light intensity of 100 mW / cm 2 . The photovoltaic performance of the device was tested, and the light intensity was calibrated by a standard single-crystalline silicon solar cell (SRC-00019); the J-V curve was measured using a Keithley 2400. The open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current, and fill factor of the above solar cell device were measured, and the corresponding photoelectric conversion efficiency was calculated.

[0112] The J-V curve of the solar cell device is as Figure 2 shown. For the device with biBT-4F as the active layer acceptor, the open-circuit voltage V OC = 0.83 V, the short-circuit current J SC = 25.7 mA / cm 2 , the fill factor FF = 75%, and the conversion efficiency PCE = 16.17%; for the device with biBTT-4F as the active layer acceptor, the open-circuit voltage V OC = 0.82 V, the short-circuit current J SC = 23.96 mA / cm 2 , the fill factor FF = 74.1%, and the conversion efficiency PCE = 14.68%.

[0113] In addition, under the same conditions, for the device with the existing acceptor material Y6 (purchased from Nanjing Zhiyan Technology Co., Ltd.) as the active layer acceptor, the open-circuit voltage V OC = 0.81 V, the short-circuit current J SC = 23.4 mA / cm 2 , the fill factor FF = 73%, and the conversion efficiency PCE = 13.82%. Figure 3 The EQE curves of biBT-4F and biBTT-4F in Examples 1 and 3 applied to organic solar cells are shown. The integrated short-circuit currents obtained from the EQE curves are 24.7 mA / cm 2 and 23.4 mA / cm 2 respectively, and the error from the measured values is within 5%, indicating that the device data has high reliability.

[0114] The preparation and characterization of large-area printed OPV devices are as follows:

[0115] 20 cm 2The IT0 conductive glass was then ultrasonically cleaned successively with detergent, water, deionized water, acetone, and isopropyl alcohol. After drying, a 30-nm-thick layer of PEDOT:PSS was spin-coated on the substrate as a hole transport layer for standby. A chloroform blend solution (10 - 30 mg / mL) of the polymer donor material PM6 and Y6 or the acceptor material prepared in Example 1 (weight ratio 1:1.3), along with the additive chloronaphthalene (0.25%), was printed on the PEDOT:PSS layer to form an active layer of the device with a thickness of 300 nm. PNDIT-F3N was dissolved in a methanol solution with 0.5% acetic acid to prepare a 1 mol / mL solution, which was spin-coated on the surface of the active layer at a speed of 4000 revolutions per second, and then annealed at 100 °C for 10 min to prepare an electron transport layer with a thickness of 8 nm. Finally, an Ag electrode was prepared using a printing technique with silver paste as the raw material. A layer of silver paste was directly brushed on the surface of the prepared electron transport layer as the electrode, and the thickness of the electrode layer was 100 nm.

[0116] For the performance test of large-area devices, a point on a large-area battery was selected for testing. Under standard test conditions: AM1.5, 100 mW / cm 2 , the open-circuit voltage (V OC ) of the biBT-4F device was measured to be 0.81 V, the short-circuit current (J SC ) was 22.89 mA / cm 2 , the fill factor (FF) was 0.53, and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) was 9.13%. Meanwhile, for the device with Y6, the open-circuit voltage (VOC) was 0.69 V, the short-circuit current (J SC ) was 20.27 mA / cm 2 , the fill factor (FF) was 0.39, and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) was 5.44%.

[0117] The above has made a detailed description in conjunction with the embodiments of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the knowledge scope of those of ordinary skill in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention.
