Abstract
Description
A Class of Organic Small Molecule Photovoltaic Materials Containing Five-Member Fused Heterocyclic Electron-Donating Units and Their Preparation and Application Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of solar cells, specifically relating to a class of organic small molecule donor photovoltaic materials containing five-membered fused heterocyclic electron-donating units, their preparation methods, and applications. Background Technology
[0002] Organic solar cells based on vacuum evaporation were first reported in 1986, with a conversion efficiency of only 1%. The novel solar cell structure developed in this work promoted the development of organic solar cells.
[0003] Vacuum-deposited organic solar cells (ODCs) are a key research focus in the field of organic solar cells due to the advantages of their fabrication process and the inherent properties of small-molecule materials. Compared to solution-based ODCs, vacuum-deposited ODCs exhibit higher stability, and the technology has been successfully applied in the commercialization of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), thus possessing greater practical commercial application potential. However, the photoelectric conversion efficiency of current vacuum-deposited ODCs is relatively low. Process limitations restrict the molecular weight of donor and acceptor materials, resulting in weaker light absorption and consequently affecting the short-circuit current density of the solar cell. This also limits the availability of suitable donor molecules for vacuum deposition. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention designs and synthesizes small molecule donor materials suitable for the preparation of organic solar cells by vacuum evaporation. By selecting appropriate electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups, the light absorption capacity of the molecules is further improved, thereby promoting the photoelectric conversion efficiency of organic solar cells prepared by vacuum evaporation.

[0162] Test Example 2: Photovoltaic Performance Testing of Organic Solar Cells
[0163] (1) Fabrication of photovoltaic devices: First, the ITO conductive glass was etched with zinc powder and hydrochloric acid. The etched ITO conductive glass (sheet resistance of 7 Ω / sq) was ultrasonically cleaned for 15 min each with glass cleaning solution, deionized water, acetone, and isopropanol, then dried with a nitrogen gun and placed in a forced-air drying oven at 150 ℃ for 5 min. Then, the ITO conductive glass was treated in an ultraviolet-ozone cleaner for 15 min and transferred to a glove box for later use. In the first step, a 10 nm thick layer of MoO3 was deposited on the ITO conductive glass as an anode buffer layer by vacuum thermal evaporation, with a background vacuum of 2.0 × 10- 5 Pa, evaporation rate is 0.2 nm / s; second step, M1, M2, M3, M4, M5, M6, M7, M8, M9, and M10 are used as donor materials, respectively, with C70 Using C as the acceptor, a hybrid photoactive layer was prepared on the MoO3 anolyte buffer layer via a vacuum dual-source co-evaporation method. 70 The thickness is 80 nm, and the background vacuum is 2.0 × 10⁻⁶. -5 Pa, with a total evaporation rate of 1.0 nm / s; the third step involves vacuum thermal evaporation to deposit a photoactive layer (Compounds: C). 70 A 5 nm thick layer of BCP (Bathocuproine) was deposited on top as an exciton blocking layer, with a background vacuum of 2.0 × 10⁻⁶. -5 Pa, with an evaporation rate of 0.1 nm / s. Finally, at 2.0 × 10 -5 A 100 nm Ag electrode was deposited under a background vacuum of Pa.
[0164] Thus, an organic solar cell device is obtained, with a device structure of Glass / ITO / MoO3 (10nm) / Compounds:C 70 (80nm) / BCP(5nm) / Ag(100 nm).
