Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of conjugated polymers and polymer optoelectronic materials, and particularly relates to a conjugated polymer optoelectronic material containing a non-centrosymmetric benzodithiazole and a preparation method and application thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] Due to the gradual depletion of fossil energy, more efficient use of clean and renewable energy such as solar energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, and tidal energy has become a very important issue in the 21st century. Solar cells play a crucial role in the exploration of new energy sources. Compared with inorganic photovoltaic materials such as silicon and perovskite, organic materials have obvious advantages in terms of light weight and low cost in solvent processing. More importantly, organic semiconductors are more likely to achieve flexibility and roll-to-roll processability for solar cells through solvent processing, which will greatly improve production efficiency. In addition, through rational material design and device fabrication, specific waveband photon capture can be achieved, which has broad application prospects in the field of building and environmental engineering.

[0003] Organic solar cells (OSCs) show great promise in smart cities and indoor applications due to their advantages in manufacturing lightweight and flexible, semi-transparent photovoltaic panels through economical and efficient printing methods. Over the past two decades, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OSCs has rapidly increased, with major contributions coming from the innovation of light-active layer donor and acceptor materials, device optimization, and interface engineering. Among them, donor and acceptor materials jointly control the photophysical processes of light absorption, exciton dissociation, and carrier transport, thus playing a crucial role in the performance of OSCs. The improvement of PCE is inseparable from the increasing understanding of the structure-property relationship of active layer materials. From a chemical perspective, the molecular structure of donor and acceptor materials determines the basic characteristics of organic solar cells, such as absorption spectrum, molecular energy level, and charge mobility, which further determine the photoelectric conversion efficiency of organic solar cells. Therefore, designing donor and acceptor molecules to improve the efficiency of organic solar cells is currently a research focus in this field.

[0004] The donor polymer molecules of organic solar cells are generally co-polymerized from electron-rich units (D units) and electron-deficient units (A units), mainly composed of conjugated main chain, side chain and substituent group. The D-A co-polymer structure has the effect of optimizing the energy level, which is beneficial to improve the open-circuit voltage (VOC) of the device without changing the absorption. In the synthesis design of D-A co-polymer, many factors must be considered. From the perspective of molecular engineering, selecting appropriate conjugated repeat units determines the energy level and band gap; selecting appropriate side chains largely determines the solubility in processing solvents; the conjugated main chain and side chain have significant influence on the aggregation of the active layer and intermolecular interaction. From the perspective of polymer engineering, it is necessary to carefully balance the molecular weight, dispersity, solubility in processing solvents and viscosity of the obtained solution. For specific molecular design, generally, the star molecule PM6 is selected as the basis for modification, and the main modification strategies include electron-deficient unit design, side chain engineering, substituent modification, ternary copolymer design, etc.

[0005] For D-A co-polymer donor polymers, polymer materials containing a central symmetrical benzodithiazole electron-deficient unit have been widely used. The rigidity, high planarity and large π conjugated extension of benzodithiazole can reduce the steric hindrance between adjacent rings, thereby improving the coplanarity of the molecule and the tighter interchain packing in the solid film. In addition, due to the strong electron-deficiency of thiazole, the thiazole-containing heterocycle has good frontier molecular orbital distribution, which is beneficial to effective intramolecular charge transfer, thereby obtaining good energy level distribution. When the polymer material containing a central symmetrical benzodithiazole electron-deficient unit is applied to an organic solar cell photovoltaic device, a high open-circuit voltage and a low energy loss (ELOSS) can be obtained, but it has a relatively low short-circuit current density (JSC) and a fill factor (FF), so that the final cell device PCE is low, which limits its application range.

[0006] In view of the above, it is necessary to develop a new technical scheme to solve the defects and deficiencies in the prior art. SUMMARY

[0007] The present application aims at providing a conjugated polymer photoelectric material containing non-centrosymmetric benzodithiazole, a preparation method and application thereof, in view of the shortcomings of the prior art. Compared with centrosymmetric benzodithiazole, the non-centrosymmetric benzodithiazole with an asymmetric structure makes the molecule have a larger dipole moment, which not only enhances the intermolecular interaction and pi-pi stacking, but also optimizes the micro-morphology of the active layer, and can significantly improve the short-circuit current density and fill factor of the organic solar cell. Therefore, it can be predicted that the conjugated polymer photoelectric material containing non-centrosymmetric benzodithiazole will have good photoelectric performance, good absorption of sunlight, adjustable lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level (LUMO) and highest occupied molecular orbital energy level (HOMO), excellent rigidity and high planarity, large conjugated extension, good intermolecular interaction, and can be applied to the preparation of a polymer solar cell active layer, and is a kind of material with commercial application prospect. However, as a kind of promising photoelectric material, the conjugated polymer photoelectric material containing non-centrosymmetric benzodithiazole has not been reported in this field so far. The present application first synthesizes a new non-centrosymmetric benzodithiazole unit and its polymer and successfully applies it in the field of photoelectric materials, and the obtained material has good photoelectric performance when applied in photoelectric devices.

[0029] S6, mixing of the compound 6 with a bistrimethyltin functionalized electron donor, and adding a palladium catalyst to perform a Stille reaction to obtain compound 7 (a conjugated polymer optoelectronic material containing a non-centrosymmetric benzodithiazole).

[0030] Further, in step S1, the iodination reaction introduces iodine substituent to compound 1 by potassium iodide;

[0046] 3. Compared with a symmetric structure, the non-centrally symmetric benzodithiazole of the conjugated polymer photoelectric material containing non-centrally symmetric benzodithiazole has a larger dipole moment, which not only enhances the intermolecular interaction and pi-pi stacking, but also optimizes the micro-morphology of the active layer, so that the short-circuit current density and the fill factor of the organic solar cell can be significantly improved.

[0106] Test case

[0107] Taking Cis-BBTz synthesized in Example 1 and BBTz synthesized in the comparative example as examples, they were blended with acceptors, and then the current-voltage curves were tested to illustrate their application as donors in polymer solar cell devices.

[0108] The specific fabrication process of polymer solar cell devices is as follows:

[0109] The sheet resistance of ITO conductive glass is approximately 20 Ω / cm. 2 The glass blocks are pre-cut into 15mm × 15mm squares. They are then ultrasonically cleaned sequentially with acetone, a micron-level semiconductor-specific detergent, deionized water, and isopropanol. After nitrogen purging, they are placed in a constant-temperature oven for later use. A 20nm thick cathode interface layer, PEDOT, is spin-coated onto the ITO, followed by spin-coating of the active layer material, Cis-BBTz / PY-IT or BBTz / PY-IT, with a thickness of approximately 100nm. Finally, an Ag electrode is deposited as the anode, completing the device fabrication.

[0110] All preparation processes were carried out in a glove box under a nitrogen atmosphere, with PY-IT serving as the electron acceptor. The structural formula of PY-IT is as follows:

[0111]

[0112] The polymer solar cell device comprises, from bottom to top, an ITO cathode (20nm), a cathode interface layer PEDOT (20nm), an active layer (100nm), and an anode Ag (100nm).
