Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of organic polymer materials, and in particular relates to a water-alcohol soluble conjugated polymer based on naphthodiimide and phenyl units, a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Organic semiconductor materials are flexible, lightweight, and solution processable, and are widely used in organic electronic devices, such as organic solar cells, organic photodetectors, organic light-emitting diodes, and organic thin-film transistors. Organic semiconductor materials are easy to control in terms of chemical structure, and can be designed and synthesized through different chemical reactions to obtain materials with different properties to meet the application requirements in different organic electronic devices.

[0003] In recent years, through the design of materials and the optimization of device structure, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of organic solar cells has exceeded 20%. High-efficiency organic solar cells have a multi-layer device structure, generally with an anode / hole transport layer / active layer / electron transport layer / cathode structure. The active layer material is responsible for absorbing photons and generating excitons after being excited. The excitons split at the donor-acceptor interface to generate electrons and holes, which pass through the electron transport layer and the hole transport layer respectively and are then collected by the electrode. Among them, the electron transport layer plays the role of transmitting electrons and blocking holes, and can adjust the work function of the electrode to achieve ohmic contact and improve the charge collection efficiency at the electrode.

[0004] According to the literature (Novel Electroluminescent Conjugated Polyelectrolytes Based on Polyfluorene.Chem.Mater.,2004,16,708-716.), the water-alcohol soluble conjugated polymer PFN-Br based on the polyfluorene main chain and polar side chain can be dissolved in a methanol solution, so it can be used in the electron transport layer to improve the luminous efficiency of the organic light-emitting diode device through the orthogonal solvent processing method. In addition, the literature (Simultaneous Enhancement of Open-Circuit Voltage, Short-Circuit Current Density, and Fill Factor in Polymer Solar Cells.Adv.Mater.2011,23,4636-4643) also uses PFN as the electron transport layer of organic solar cells to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery device. However, this type of material can only work normally under relatively thick film thickness. After that, the literature (n-Type Water / Alcohol-Soluble Naphthalene Diimide-Based Conjugated Polymers for High-Performance Polymer Solar Cells. J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2016, 138, 6, 2004–2013) reported that the electron-deficient unit naphthodiimide unit was embedded in the polyfluorene main chain to obtain PNDITF3N, and this type of material can still maintain a high device efficiency when the film thickness increases. However, the fluorene unit is unstable under ultraviolet light. For example, the literature (On the Degradation Process Involving Polyfluorenes and the Factors Governing Their Spectral Stability. Macromolecules 2011, 44, 7977–7986) reported that after irradiation with ultraviolet light, the organic light-emitting diode device based on polyfluorene will increase from emitting blue light to emitting green light.

[0005] The Chinese invention patent with publication number CN104725613A discloses an n-type water-alcohol soluble conjugated polymer material containing a naphthodiimide ring, a preparation method and an application thereof. The polymer main chain reported in the patent contains a fluorene unit, which is unstable under ultraviolet light and has a destructive effect on the stability of the polymer material.

[0006] Therefore, in order to further improve the stability of materials and devices, further structural optimization of electron transport materials is needed. Summary of the invention

[0091] Comparative Example 1

[0092] A polymer (PNDITF3N), the preparation method of which is shown in the Chinese patent publication number CN104725613A, and its structure is shown below:

[0093]

[0094] The conjugated main chain of the polymer is composed of an electron-deficient unit naphthiodiimide, a thiophene bridging unit and an electron-donating unit fluorene. Due to the introduction of the electron-deficient unit naphthiodiimide, the polymer has achieved good device efficiency in organic solar cell devices. However, during the synthesis process, boric acid ester needs to be introduced into the fluorene unit for subsequent polymerization reaction. The synthesis and purification of boric acid ester are relatively cumbersome, and the overall synthesis of the polymer requires more reaction steps, which is not conducive to large-scale preparation.

[0095] And, as in Test Example 4 and Figure 7 As shown, polymers containing fluorene units are unstable to UV light, which affects the long-term stability of the material.

[0096] As shown in Test Example 6 and Fig.11 As shown, when it is applied to the cathode interface layer of an organic solar cell device, the photostability of the device will be significantly attenuated.

[0097] Test Example 1

[0098] Polymer P2, polymer P3 and polymer P4 are used as donor materials in the electron transport layer of an organic solar cell, and this is used as an example to illustrate the application of the electron transport type water-alcohol soluble polymer material proposed in the present invention in an organic photoelectric device.

[0099] For comparison, the disclosed high-performance electron transport materials PFN-Br and PNDITF3N (Comparative Example 1) were selected to further demonstrate the improvement in performance of the material proposed in the present invention.

[0100] (1) Preparation of organic solar cell devices

[0101] The structure of the organic solar cell device is from bottom to top: ITO substrate (700nm) / PEDOT:PSS hole transport layer (40nm) / PM6:BTP-eC9 active layer (100nm) / electron transport layer (10nm) / Ag anode (100nm);

[0102] PFN-Br and PNDITF3N were purchased from Dongguan Fuan Optoelectronics Co., Ltd. The relevant chemical structures are as follows:

[0103]

[0104] The chemical structure of the active layer material used is as follows:

[0105]

[0106] The detailed preparation process is as follows:

[0107] The glass substrate coated with indium tin oxide (ITO) was cleaned with deionized water, acetone and isopropanol at room temperature for 20 min respectively, and then dried in an oven at 60 °C for 12 h. Then, a 40 nm thick poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):polystyrenesulfonic acid (PEDOT:PSS, model: CLEVIOS PVPAl 4083) was spin-coated on the cleaned ITO glass substrate and heated on a heating stage at 140 °C for 15 min in air.

[0108] The active layer donor material conjugated polymer PM6 and the acceptor material BTP-eC9 were weighed in a clean bottle (mass ratio of 1:1.2), transferred to a nitrogen-protected film-forming glove box (purchased from VAC), dissolved in a solvent containing 1 wt% of 1,8-diiodooctane to obtain a PM6:BTP-eC9 solution with a concentration of 10 mg / ml, and then spin-coated on the PEDOT:PSS film with a thickness of 100 nm as an active layer using a spin coater and a surface profiler;

[0109] Different electron transport layer materials (PFN-Br, PNDITF3N, polymer P1, polymer P2, polymer P3, polymer P4) were respectively prepared into solutions with a mass concentration of 1 mg / ml using polar solvent methanol, and spin-coated on the active layer with a thickness of 10 nm to serve as the electron transport layer of the solar cell device;

[0110] The film was transferred to a vacuum deposition chamber connected to the glove box and then deposited through a mask at about 10 -7 Ag (100 nm) anode was evaporated under the condition of Pa;

[0111] Among them, all preparation processes of organic solar cell devices are carried out in a glove box with oxygen and water content less than 1 ppm.

[0112] The relationship between the current density and voltage of an organic solar cell device under illumination is as follows: Figure 1 The specific device efficiency is shown in Table 1.

[0113] Table 1 Performance of organic solar cells based on different electron transport materials

[0114] Electron transport layer <![CDATA[Open-circuit voltage V OC [V]]]> <![CDATA[Short-circuit current J SC [mA / cm 2 > Fill factor [%] Conversion efficiency [%] Polymer P1 0.820±0.00 27.99±0.38 76.45±0.33 17.59±0.22 Polymer P2 0.819±0.00 27.97±0.41 76.32±0.93 17.49±0.12 Polymer P3 0.824±0.000 28.03±0.04 76.39±0.66 17.64±0.17 Polymer P4 0.715±0.005 27.36±0.56 60.62±1.05 11.86±0.37 PFN-Br 0.825±0.002 26.87±0.50 75.75±1.35 16.80±0.57 PNDITF3N 0.821±0.001 27.20±0.42 76.02±0.82 17.22±0.13

[0115] From Table 1 and Figure 1 It can be seen that polymers with different counter ions produce different device effects. The electron transport layer based on polymers P1, P2 and P3 has significantly improved device efficiency compared with PFN-Br, while the efficiency of the electron transport layer based on polymer P4 is significantly reduced. The results show that the introduction of phenyl units in the main chain does not reduce the device efficiency, but the change of counter ions in the side chain will significantly affect the device efficiency.

[0116] Test Example 2

[0117] X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy tests were performed on polymers P1, P2, P3 and P4. The test results are as follows: Figure 2-5 shown.

[0118] The results show that compared with polymer P1 with a neutral tertiary amine functional group on the side chain, polymer P2 with a quaternary ammonium salt functional group on the side chain has a Br ion peak introduced, polymer P3 has an F ion peak introduced, and polymer P4 has both B ion and F ion peaks introduced, which proves the synthesis of related materials.

[0119] Test Example 3

[0120] The UV-visible absorption spectrum of polymer P1, polymer P2, polymer P3 and polymer P4 was tested.

[0121] Test method: Dissolve polymer P1 in 10 mg / ml methanol solution (+1% volume acetic acid), polymer P2, polymer P3 and polymer P4 in 10 mg / ml methanol solution, then add 20 μL of the above polymer solution to a cuvette containing methanol solvent to perform solution absorption test. Spin coat the above solutions onto 1.5×1.5 cm 2 The film absorption test was carried out on the quartz plate. The relevant absorption data is shown in the attached Figure 6 shown.

[0122] from Figure 6 It can be seen that different groups at the end of the side chain will significantly affect the absorption spectrum of the material. Compared with the polymer P2 based on Br ions, the polymer P3 based on F ions has a weaker aggregation peak. The polymer P4 with B ions has a larger volume, which weakens the stacking of the polymer main chain, causing a significant blue shift in the absorption spectrum.

[0123] Test Example 4

[0124] Polymer P1, Polymer P2 and PNDITF3N were tested for UV stability.

[0125] Test method: Spin-coat 10mg / ml methanol solution of polymer P1, polymer P2 and PNDITF3N onto a quartz wafer, and then irradiate under a 365nm UV lamp with a power of 45W. After a certain irradiation time, perform a thin film spectral absorption test. Figure 7-9 shown.

[0126] The results show that the UV stability of the material can be effectively improved by replacing the fluorene unit in PNDITF3N with a phenyl unit through the main chain adjustment strategy. And when the side chain terminal group is changed, both the tertiary amine of polymer P1 and the quaternary ammonium salt of polymer P2 can still maintain good UV stability.

[0127] Test Example 5

[0128] The organic solar cells prepared in Test Example 1 with polymers P2, P3, P4 and PFN-Br as electron transport layers were placed in a dark state to test the variation trend of the current density of the device with the voltage. The results are shown in the attached figure. Fig.10 shown.

[0129] It can be seen that the devices based on PFN-Br and polymers P2 and P3 have significantly reduced dark current, and the dark current of the device based on polymer P4 is relatively the highest. The lower the dark current, the more conducive it is to the improvement of the overall current density of the device under illumination, which also corresponds to the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the device.

[0130] Test Example 6

[0131] The stability test of photovoltaic performance was conducted on the organic solar cell with polymer P1 prepared in Test Example 1 and PNDITF3N and PFN-Br as electron transport layers. The specific operation was to place the prepared organic solar cell device under 6W 365nm ultraviolet light in a glove box, and then conduct the photoelectric conversion efficiency test after a certain time interval. The results are shown in the attached figure. Fig.11 shown.

[0132] The results show that by replacing the fluorene unit in PNDITF3N with a phenyl unit through the main chain adjustment strategy, the ultraviolet light stability of the organic solar cell device can be improved, and the stability is also significantly improved compared to PFN-Br with fluorene as the main chain.
