Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of receptor materials technology, and in particular to a metal complex receptor material, its preparation method, and optoelectronic devices. Background Technology

[0002] A solar cell is a thin film of photoelectric semiconductors that directly generates electricity using sunlight. Also known as a "solar chip" or "photovoltaic cell," it can output voltage instantaneously and generate current when a circuit is established, provided certain illumination conditions are met. The development of solar cells can be traced back to 1839 when Becquerel of France first discovered the photoelectric effect in liquid electrolytes. However, it wasn't until 1883 that Fritts of the United States prepared the first solar cell using selenium. After half a century of development, in 1930, Schottky proposed the "photovoltaic effect" theory of the Cu₂O barrier. In the same year, Longer first proposed that the "photovoltaic effect" could be used to manufacture "solar cells," converting solar energy into electrical energy. Subsequently, Pearson of Bell Labs in the United States invented a monocrystalline silicon solar cell with a battery efficiency of 6% in 1954, ushering in a new era of pn junction solar cells. Even today, pn junction solar cells still hold a dominant position in the photovoltaic field. However, compared with traditional silicon-based and other inorganic metal compound solar cells, organic solar cells (OPVs) have the following unique advantages: (1) organic materials are lightweight and flexible; (2) organic materials are easy to design, cut, and synthesize chemically, without resource limitations; (3) device fabrication processes are simple, and solution processing methods such as printing, inkjet printing, and lithography can be used, resulting in low manufacturing costs; (4) large-area flexible devices are easily realized. However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of existing organic solar cells still needs further improvement. Therefore, developing novel high-performance non-fullerene acceptor materials to further improve the photoelectric efficiency of organic solar cells is of great significance for realizing the commercialization of organic solar cell performance.
