The application discloses a novel small-molecule
electron acceptor material, a preparation method thereof and an
organic solar cell, and relates to the technical field of organic solar cells. λ onset The small-molecule
electron acceptor material has a high-efficiency near-
infrared spectrum (greater than 1000 nm) response and a low open-circuit
voltage loss. The
selenium phenol unit is introduced, the
polarizability of
selenium atoms and the heavy atom effect are utilized, the
intermolecular interaction is enhanced, and the absorption spectrum of the molecule is widened; through
side chain modification, multiple intramolecular
oxygen-
sulfur non-covalent interactions are introduced, on the one hand, the intramolecular ICT effect is enhanced, the
band gap is reduced, on the other hand, the multiple
oxygen-
sulfur non-covalent bonds lock the
molecular configuration, the molecular rigidity is enhanced, vibration is inhibited, non-radiative recombination and open-circuit
voltage loss are reduced. λ onset The application is applied to
organic solar cell single-junction and tandem devices, and the photovoltaic
response characteristics of more than 1000 nm are realized, and energy conversion efficiencies of more than 17% and 21% are obtained, which are the highest device efficiencies of the spectrum response of more than 1000 nm in the current research field of organic solar cells.
