Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor materials technology, and in particular to a conjugated polymer containing a 1,3-benzothiazole-2-amide structure, a hole transport thin film, and an organic photovoltaic cell device. Background Technology
[0002] Solar cells, as a technology that can directly convert solar energy into electrical energy, are a key means to achieve carbon neutrality and have extremely broad development prospects. Among the many types of solar cells, organic solar cells (OSCs) have seen rapid development in recent years.
[0003] OSCs are manufactured using a low-temperature solution coating process, which effectively shortens the energy payback period. Initially, the photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of OSCs improved slowly; only with continuous advancements in materials science and device manufacturing technologies has its photovoltaic performance significantly improved.
[0004] Currently, common polymer donor materials include PTB7-Th (a conjugated polymer material based on a thiophene / furan structure) and PBDB-T. Polymer donors possess many advantages, such as the ability to flexibly control their energy levels and optical band gaps through molecular design to match different acceptor materials and device structures; they also exhibit good solubility, facilitating processing using low-temperature solution coating techniques and helping to reduce production costs. However, the synthesis processes of most polymer donors are currently complex and costly, limiting their large-scale commercial application. Therefore, researchers are constantly striving to explore the principles and universal methods for improving and enhancing the performance of solar cells. To achieve these goals, the development of more novel conjugated polymer materials is crucial for advancing the performance of polymer solar cells.
[0005] CN118852591A discloses a hole-transporting polymer and its preparation and application. This hole-transporting polymer contains a 1,3-benzothiazole-2-carboxylic acid ester structure. Energy levels and film morphology are adjusted by introducing halogen atoms, and solubility is improved through polyalkyl branches. It is prepared using palladium-catalyzed Stille polymerization to form a semiconductor material with an efficient and economical route. However, the alkyl straight chains in the aforementioned conjugated polymer containing the benzothiazole structure interact only through van der Waals forces, which are weak and non-directional, hindering the formation of tighter π-π stacking and longer energy transport channels in donor / acceptor blends. Furthermore, the alkyl chain regulation methods involving transesterification in this scheme result in a complex synthetic route and high cost.

[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical advantages: (1) This invention provides a series of novel hole-transporting polymers containing a 1,3-benzothiazole-2-amide structure.

Strong and directional bonds can be formed between the two. Simultaneously, as a moderately strong electron-withdrawing group, the amide bond can moderately lower the highest occupied orbital (HOMO) energy level of the material without excessively affecting its lowest unfilled orbital (LUMO) energy level. This characteristic also allows it to have differentiated energy levels, better matching the energy requirements of different scenarios and improving energy conversion and transmission efficiency. In terms of synthesis, the present invention also reduces the alkyl chain control methods of transesterification, making its synthetic route simpler, which is beneficial for improving yield and purity, and reducing production costs.

In practical applications, this copolymer can be uniformly coated on the surface of various substrates to form a thin film through drop-coating or spin-coating processes. In addition, the hole-transporting polymer provided by the present invention has good thermal stability and can be used as an electron donor material component for organic photovoltaic cell devices.

[0094] Test example: Based on the successful preparation of the above-mentioned conjugated polymer containing the 1,3-benzothiazole-2-amide structure, this invention further utilizes the conjugated polymer containing the 1,3-benzothiazole-2-amide structure as an electron donor material in organic solar cell devices. The organic solar cell device structure of this invention is ITO / PEDOT4083 / Active Layer / PFN-Br / Ag, and the specific preparation method is as follows: First, the ITO substrate was subjected to dual ultrasonic cleaning with acetone and isopropanol to thoroughly remove surface impurities, followed by UV ozone treatment for 10 minutes. Next, a PEDOT:PSS aqueous solution (mass concentration) was uniformly spread on the ITO using spin coating, and dried at 150 °C for 15 minutes to form a dense anodic interface layer. The synthesized polymer donors D1-D6 and the commercially available acceptor Y6 (purchased from Suzhou Nakai) were precisely dissolved in chloroform at a mass ratio of 1:1 or 1:1.2, and an active layer approximately 100 nm thick was deposited on the PEDOT:PSS layer using spin coating. Subsequently, a 20 nm cathode interface layer was formed by spin-coating a solution of 3,3'-(1,3,8,10-tetraanthrone[2,1,9-DEF:6,5,10-D'E'F']diisoquinoline-2,9(1H,3H,8H,10H)-diyl)bis(N,N-dimethylpropane-1-amine oxide) (PNDINO). Finally, a 100 nm thick Ag electrode was deposited under high vacuum, completing the device structure. The effective working area of the fabricated solar cell is 4 mm². 2 All of the above device fabrication processes were carried out in a glove box protected by a nitrogen atmosphere.
[0095] The testing process used an AM1.5 standard light source, with radiance precisely controlled at 1 kW / m². 2 With the Keithley 2400 digital source meter, the JV curve of the device can be accurately measured to comprehensively evaluate its open-circuit voltage (V). oc ), short-circuit current density (J sc Key parameters include fill factor (FF) and power conversion efficiency (PCE).
[0096] Figure 2 The cyclic voltammetry curves of polymers D1 to D6 in Examples 1-6 of this invention are shown. The HOMO and LUMO energy levels were calculated using the cyclic voltammetry method and the following formulas, and the results are summarized in Table 1.
[0097] HOMO level E HOMO (eV)=−(E ox onset -E 1 / 2 (Fc / Fc+ )+4.8); LUMO level E LUMO (eV)=−(E red onset -E 1 / 2 (Fc / Fc + )+4.8).
[0098] Table 1 Summary of energy levels of polymers D1~D6
[0099] In this invention, D3 and D4 are used as reference materials. Their electron-withdrawing units do not incorporate fluorine atoms and do not use thiophene as a π-bridge, resulting in weak molecular conjugation planarity. Although cyclic voltammetry tests show that they have deep HOMO and LUMO energy levels and wide energy level gaps, their molecular structures are difficult to form highly ordered stacking in the solid state, limiting charge transport efficiency and light absorption performance. Therefore, when used as a single donor in organic solar cells, the overall device performance is limited.
[0100] In contrast, D1 and D2, by introducing a single fluorine atom and constructing a thiophene π-bridge, achieved moderate energy level tuning. Their deeper HOMO energy level, when matched with common acceptor materials, is beneficial for obtaining a higher theoretical open-circuit voltage and enhancing the charge transfer driving force after exciton dissociation. This reduces the probability of charge being trapped by defect states or undergoing bimolecular recombination during transport, which is beneficial for improving the device fill factor and stability.
[0101] While D5 and D6 enhance molecular planarity and film ordering through the introduction of difluorine atoms and thiophene π-bridges, their excessively high LUMO energy levels result in a small LUMO energy difference with the mainstream acceptor, leading to insufficient driving force for electron transfer from the donor to the acceptor. This severely affects exciton dissociation and charge separation efficiency, becoming a key factor limiting device performance when used as a single donor. However, the material's wide bandgap, shallow HOMO energy level, and excellent film ordering suggest unique application potential in wide-bandgap subcells within ternary blend systems or tandem cells.
[0102] Figure 3The images show the solution and film absorption spectra of polymers D1-D6 of this invention. In the spectral characterization of the six materials, D1, D2, D5, and D6 all exhibited significant 0-0 vibrational peaks, with D5 and D6 showing particularly prominent peaks. This indicates that D5 and D6 possess higher molecular planarity and structural rigidity, which is beneficial for forming highly ordered self-assembled aggregates during film formation and effectively suppressing geometric relaxation and non-radiative vibrations in the excited state. In contrast, D3 and D4, due to the lack of thiophene as a π-bridge, have weaker molecular conjugation planarity and are prone to structural distortion, resulting in less prominent 0-0 peaks and a wide but unfocused spectral absorption range, which is detrimental to improving light absorption and charge transport performance. Furthermore, all materials exhibited a spectral redshift upon transitioning from solution to film, confirming a general enhancement of intermolecular π-π interactions in the solid state, providing a necessary physical basis for charge transport.
[0103] Figure 4 Table 2 shows the current-voltage curves of the organic solar cell device fabricated using polymer D2 as the electron donor material in Example 2 of this invention. Table 2 also shows the device performance parameters of the organic solar cell based on polymer D2 as the electron donor material and Y6 as the electron acceptor material.
