Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of organic solar cells, in particular to an organic solar cell device. Background Art
[0002] As an inexhaustible clean energy, solar energy has received widespread attention and has developed rapidly in recent years. Compared with inorganic solar cells, organic solar cells have the characteristics and advantages of flexibility, translucency, and large-area printing. They have broad application and development prospects in building and equipment integration, automotive glass, and wearable devices.
[0003] The device structure of a typical organic solar cell includes an anode, an anode buffer layer, a photoactive layer, a cathode buffer layer and a cathode stacked in sequence. The working principle of an organic solar cell is as follows: sunlight is incident on the photoactive layer, absorbed by the donor and the acceptor to generate excitons, which are separated into free charges - electrons and holes - at the donor / acceptor interface, and then transported to the negative and positive electrodes respectively, and then enter the cathode buffer layer and the anode buffer layer respectively. Finally, the electrons and holes are collected by the negative / positive electrodes to generate current and voltage. Therefore, the coordinated optimization of the materials of each functional layer is the key to achieving efficient charge transport.
[0004] The current anode buffer layer materials containing anchoring groups have simple molecular structures, are easy to synthesize, have high light transmittance, and have adjustable work functions, and have great application prospects in modifying electrodes. However, when the anode buffer layer materials (SAMs) containing anchoring groups are used as a single component in the anode buffer layer, the anode buffer layer based on SAMs is usually a very thin monolayer with a coverage density of about 10-15 molecules nm. -2 , which makes it difficult to form a uniform and stable thin film during preparation, limiting the photoelectric performance of organic solar cell devices.

[0183] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages:
[0184] 1. The organic solar cell device disclosed in the present invention comprises a first photoactive layer and a second photoactive layer, wherein the first photoactive layer comprises an anode buffer layer material (SAMs) comprising an anchoring group and a polymer donor material, and the second photoactive layer comprises a photoactive layer donor material and an acceptor material. Compared with conventional organic solar cell devices, the device exhibits excellent photoelectric conversion performance because:
[0185] First, during the preparation of the first photoactive layer, SAMs can be induced to form a single-molecule SAM layer by in-situ deposition through chemical bonding. The blending of polymer donor materials and SAMs can assist in limiting the spatial position of SAMs, so that SAMs form a more uniform film during in-situ deposition.
[0186] Second, the presence of the polymer donor in the first photoactive layer can induce the donor material in the second photoactive layer to aggregate toward the first photoactive layer (due to the effect of molecular surface energy), so that the concentration of the donor material is higher near the first photoactive layer, and the concentration of the acceptor material is higher near the cathode buffer layer. By utilizing this spontaneously formed inherent vertical phase distribution, the second active layer has a better morphology distribution, which can effectively improve the dissociation and transfer of charges, thereby improving the photoelectric performance of the device.
[0187] Third, the device structure protected by the present invention also has performance advantages when preparing large-area organic solar cell devices. The reason is that when the anode buffer layer material containing anchoring groups is used as a single component in the anode buffer layer, the anode buffer layer based on SAMs is usually very thin, which makes it difficult to form a uniform and stable thin film during preparation, thereby causing the photoelectric performance of the organic solar cell device to deteriorate. The organic solar cell device described in the present invention effectively solves the SAM film formation problem. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0342] Device Example 13:

The specific values are shown in Table 11:
[0345] Table 11
[0346]
[0347] By comparing the device data in Tables 1 to 11, it can be seen that the organic solar cell device according to the present invention exhibits excellent photoelectric conversion performance in different systems. The reason is that:
[0348] First: During the preparation of the first photoactive layer, SAMs can be deposited in situ to form a single-molecule SAM layer. The blending of polymer donor materials and SAMs can limit the spatial position of SAMs, so that SAMs form a more uniform film during in situ deposition.
[0349] Second, the presence of the polymer donor in the first photoactive layer can induce the donor material in the second photoactive layer to aggregate toward the first photoactive layer (due to the effect of molecular surface energy), so that the concentration of the donor material is higher near the first photoactive layer, and the concentration of the acceptor material is higher near the cathode buffer layer. By utilizing this spontaneously formed inherent vertical phase distribution, the second active layer has a better morphology distribution, which can effectively improve the dissociation and transfer of charges, thereby improving the photoelectric performance of the device.

[0383]
[0384] It can be seen from the comparison of device performance data in Table 13 that the organic solar cell device according to the present invention also has performance advantages when preparing a large area. The reason why the large-area organic solar cell device has poor performance compared with Example 1 is that when the anode buffer layer material containing an anchoring group is used as a single component in the anode buffer layer, the anode buffer layer based on SAMs is usually very thin, which makes it difficult to form a uniform and stable thin film during preparation, thereby causing the photoelectric performance of the organic solar cell device to deteriorate.
