Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic solar cell technology, and more particularly to a fused-ring organic compound and its application in organic electronic devices. Background Technology
[0002] The progress of human civilization has always been driven by energy, and solar energy has become the most watched green and clean energy source globally in recent years. Currently, commercially available solar cells are mainly made from inorganic raw materials such as crystalline silicon. Their raw material and cell manufacturing processes are complex, resulting in high production costs, high energy consumption, and severe environmental pollution, which significantly limits their application and development. Therefore, developing new solar energy technologies that are low-cost, environmentally friendly, and highly efficient has become one of the important topics in the new energy field. Organic solar cells, based on organic compounds, have the advantages of being lightweight, inexpensive, having controllable material design, and being able to be fabricated on a large scale with flexibility, thus possessing broader commercial application prospects.
[0003] The working principle of organic solar cells is as follows: 1) Under illumination, the photoactive layer material absorbs photons to generate excitons; 2) Excitons diffuse to the donor-acceptor interface; 3) Excitons dissociate into free electrons and holes at the donor-acceptor interface; 4) Free charge carriers (electrons and holes) transport in the donor and acceptor phases respectively; 5) Electrons and holes are transported to their respective electrodes to complete charge collection. The photoactive layer, as a crucial component of organic solar cells, is the key site for photoelectric conversion. Therefore, the development and matching of photoactive layer materials are essential to ensure the smooth and efficient completion of the photoelectric conversion process.
[0004] In recent years, thanks to innovations in active layer materials, particularly the development of ITIC, Y6-type non-fullerene acceptors and their derivatives, significant breakthroughs have been achieved in the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells. Current improvements based on Y-type fused-ring acceptors mainly focus on improving the fused-ring core and regulating side-chain groups. For example, Professor He Feng's group at Southern University of Science and Technology disclosed the acenaphthene-based fused-ring acceptor material ATIC-HD-4Cl, which, when paired with the donor material PBDB-T, achieved a PCE of 7.29% (DOI: 10.1021 / acs.macromol.2c00300). Chinese patent CN109134513A discloses a benzothiadiazole-based acceptor material, which, when paired with the donor material PBDB-TF, achieves a PCE exceeding 15% in organic solar cell devices. Chinese patent CN117143115A discloses a phenazine-based acceptor material, which, when paired with the donor material PM6, achieves a PCE of 16.85%.
[0005] Although existing technologies have laid a certain foundation for the research of Y-type fused-ring non-fullerene acceptor materials, in order to further improve the performance of organic solar cells and reduce their losses, it is still necessary to develop new non-fullerene acceptor material structures, which will play an important role in promoting the development of organic solar energy technology.
