Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of organic optoelectronic materials technology, and more specifically to a conjugated non-fullerene acceptor material with aza-p-methylenebenzoquinone as its core, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the ever-increasing demand for applications in environmental sensing, biomedical imaging, security monitoring, and optical communication, photodetectors capable of detecting the near-infrared spectral region are receiving unprecedented attention. While traditional inorganic detectors have applications in the near-infrared region, they suffer from limitations such as high cost, complex fabrication, brittleness, difficulty in large-area fabrication, and challenges in integration with flexible electronics. Therefore, developing novel, high-performance, low-cost, solution-processable, and flexible near-infrared photodetectors is of great significance.

[0003] Organic photodetectors have become a highly promising alternative due to their advantages such as wide availability of materials, low cost, high light absorption coefficient, light weight, good flexibility, and simple manufacturing process. In recent years, organic photodetectors have made significant progress in key performance parameters, especially detectivity, responsivity, and response speed, and their performance has approached or even surpassed that of traditional inorganic detectors in some aspects. The core challenge in the current research of high-performance near-infrared organic photodetectors lies in how to design and synthesize active layer materials that can efficiently absorb near-infrared photons, ensure efficient dissociation of photoexcitons, and enable the generated charge carriers to be transported quickly and with low loss and effectively collected by electrodes, while maintaining extremely low dark current noise. Therefore, the design and development of high-performance acceptor materials are crucial.

[0004] Ideal near-infrared organic photodetector materials require broad and strong absorption in the near-infrared region, appropriate HOMO and LUMO energy levels, high electron mobility, good stability, solubility, and film-forming properties, as well as good compatibility with donor materials. In recent years, the rapid development of non-fullerene small molecule acceptors has greatly promoted the research of high-performance organic photodetectors, especially in extending the near-infrared response. Compared with traditional fullerene derivatives, non-fullerene small molecule acceptors have significant advantages such as ease of synthesis and purification, lower cost, strong solubility, and easily tunable absorption spectra (especially the ability to design narrow optical band gaps to cover the near-infrared region), and can achieve good matching with a wide range of donor materials.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a non-fullerene small molecule acceptor material with high specific detectivity, high responsivity, fast response speed and low dark current density is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a conjugated non-fullerene acceptor material with aza-p-methylenebenzoquinone as the core, its preparation method and application. The acceptor material of the present invention has excellent performance, with three-dimensional charge transport characteristics and good intermolecular stacking, and high electron mobility. When applied to binary organic photodetectors, the material exhibits excellent near-infrared light detection performance, including high specific detectivity, high responsivity, fast response speed and low dark current density.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A conjugated non-fullerene acceptor material with aza-p-methylenebenzoquinone as its core, the general structural formula of which is shown in Formula I:

[0009]

[0010] Where R1 and R2 are C m H 2m+1 m ≥ 1 and is an integer;

[0011] X is any one of H, F, Cl, Br, and CN.

[0012] This invention proposes a strategy for conjugated non-fullerene organic small molecule materials based on the aza-p-methylenebenzoquinone structure. Compared to traditional aromatic conjugated systems, a quinone-type conjugated system with unique electronic structure characteristics is chosen as the central unit. The imine nitrogen atom introduced into the framework not only solves the stability problem caused by the easy conversion of p-methylenebenzoquinone into highly reactive biradical species, but also utilizes the weak intramolecular interactions brought by the nitrogen atom to lock the configuration of the quinone monomer. The quinone structural unit has a rigid planar framework, reducing intramolecular torsion, promoting π-π stacking, and improving crystallinity. The quinone resonance structure can form an extended delocalized π-electron system, significantly broadening the light absorption range. The rigid quinone framework reduces molecular vibrational energy loss, lowers recombination energy, and improves electron mobility. The acceptor molecule of this invention differs from Y6-type fused-ring small molecules, requiring fewer synthesis steps and lowering costs while maintaining high energy conversion efficiency and high stability.

[0013] Preferably, R1 and R2 are at least one selected from 2-ethylhexyl, 2-butyloctyl, and 2-hexyldecyl.

[0014] Preferably, X is F or Cl.

[0042] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0043] (1) This invention abandons the traditional ADA structure with Y-series analogs as the core and innovatively uses the aza-p-methylenebenzoquinone structure as the core to design a conjugated non-fullerene organic small molecule acceptor material with an AD-A'-DA type skeleton. The design selects a quinone conjugated system with unique electronic structure characteristics as the central unit. This core structure has significant advantages such as enhancing near-infrared absorption and charge generation, improving charge transport efficiency and response speed, reducing energy loss, and having relatively simple material synthesis route and reaction conditions, and has good potential for practical application.

[0044] (2) By introducing IC as a terminal group, this invention effectively broadens the absorption spectrum of the molecule and improves the absorption coefficient. At the same time, it reduces the HOMO energy level of the small molecule material. The reduction of the HOMO energy level helps to form a more optimized energy level match with the donor material, promotes exciton dissociation, and effectively suppresses the generation of dark current. By introducing different alkyl chains into the side chain, the spatial interaction between them and the main chain can be used to finely control the molecular stacking mode, energy level position and solubility, which is conducive to forming an efficient charge transport network and facilitates solution processing to prepare high-performance devices. When applied to near-infrared organic photodetectors, it can achieve efficient near-infrared photogenerated charge generation, separation and transport, and finally exhibit excellent detection performance at the device level, including high specific detectivity, high responsivity, fast response speed and low dark current density.

Figure 6 .

[0082] Device Example 1

[0083] To further illustrate the application effect of the conjugated non-fullerene acceptor material with aza-p-methylenebenzoquinone as its core prepared in this invention in organic photodetector devices, the following test experiments were conducted, as follows:

[0084] (1) After ultrasonic cleaning, ITO glass (indium tin oxide conductive glass) was treated with ozone using a plasma cleaner. 440 mg of zinc acetate dihydrate was dissolved in 4 mL of ethylene glycol methyl ether, and 120 μL of ethanolamine was added to prepare a zinc oxide precursor solution. The zinc oxide precursor solution was then stirred overnight at 55 °C. ZnO thin film was prepared by spin-coating the ZnO precursor solution onto ITO glass at 4000 rpm and annealing it in air at 200 °C for 60 minutes to obtain a substrate with a surface film thickness of about 25 nm.

[0085] (2) Using the small molecule compounds PZ-CPDT-4F and PZ-CPDT-4Cl prepared in Examples 1 and 2 as acceptor materials, respectively, and mixing them with the donor PTB7-Th to form a binary organic photodetector device (the preferred mass ratio of donor and acceptor materials is 1:1.5), chloroform solvent was added to prepare a blend solution (the total concentration of donor and acceptor is 15 mg / mL). The blend solution was then coated onto the substrate from step (1) using a spin coating speed of 3000 rpm, and an active layer with a thickness of approximately 160 nm was coated on the substrate surface. The structural formula of PTB7-Th is as follows:

[0086] (3) The substrate obtained in step (2) is thermally annealed (110°C, 10 min). Next, an 8 nm MoO3 dense film is vacuum deposited. Finally, a 100 nm thick silver layer is deposited on top of the electron transport layer by vapor deposition.

[0087] The specific performance of the photodetector is shown in Table 1 and... Figure 10-12 As shown (the equipment used in the laboratory of this invention is a 7SCSpec solar cell testing system, calibrated using a silicon standard photodetector);

[0088] Table 1 External quantum efficiency of photovoltaic devices

[0089]

[0090] As can be seen from the data in Table 1, the binary organic photodetector devices prepared by using the compounds PZ-CPDT-4F and PZ-CPDT-4Cl prepared in this invention as acceptors have good performance. The proposed small molecules have unique and well-defined molecular structures in organic photodetectors, and the batch-to-batch differences in materials and devices are very small. Therefore, they have unique advantages in the commercialization of organic photodetectors.

[0091] Figure 7The UV-Vis spectra of the solution and film were recorded using a Hitachi U-4100 UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The solution absorption test sample was dissolved in chloroform at a concentration of 0.01 mg / mL and measured at room temperature. The optical absorption spectrum of the film was prepared by spin-coating a chloroform solution (15.0 mg / mL, 3000 rpm) onto a quartz plate. As can be seen from the figure, the maximum absorption peak of compound PZ-CPDT-4Cl in the solution absorption spectrum is red-shifted by about 20 nm compared to compound PZ-CPDT-4F. Compared to PZ-CPDT-4F, PZ-CPDT-4Cl in the film has a wider absorption range, which indicates that the sterically hindered small molecules have good intermolecular stacking, which helps to improve charge mobility.

[0092] Figure 8 The external quantum efficiency (EQE) test results are shown. The EQE spectrum was tested and analyzed using a certified 7SCSpec solar cell test system. This test corroborates the EQE spectrum of the PTB7-Th:PZ-CPDT-4Cl binary device compared to the integral of the solar spectrum (AM 1.5G) with that of the PTB7-Th:PZ-CPDT-4F-based binary device. SC Consistent with the values ​​obtained from the JV curve, with an error of less than 5%, this means that PZ-CPDT-4F and PZ-CPDT-4Cl have more efficient internal charge transfer and more absorbed photons to generate charge carriers;

[0093] Figure 9 For electrochemical testing results, a three-electrode system (glassy carbon electrode as working electrode, Ag / Ag) was used on a CHI660D electrochemical workstation. + The electrode was used as a reference electrode and a platinum wire counter electrode. Cyclic voltammetry (CV) was performed using a nitrogen-saturated solution of 0.1 mol / L tetrabutylammonium hexafluorophosphate in acetonitrile as the electrolyte, with a scan rate of 100 mV / s. Ferrocene-ferrocene salt (Fc / Fc+) was used as an internal standard. The absolute energy compared to vacuum was -4.7 eV. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels of the material were determined according to the equation. Figure 9 The HOMO level of compound PZ-CPDT-4F is calculated to be -5.31 eV, and its LUMO level is -3.92 eV. The HOMO level of compound PZ-CPDT-4Cl is -5.37 eV, and its LUMO level is -3.96 eV. This is beneficial for exciton dissociation and improves the photoelectric conversion efficiency of photovoltaic devices.
