A series of bithiophene (2T)-based D-A₁-D-A₂ terpolymers with different A₂ moieties were prepared via direct arylation reaction. In these terpolymers, pyrrolo[3,4-]pyrrole-1,4-dione (DPP) was selected as the first electron-accepting (A₁) moiety, 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BT) or fluorinated benzothiadiazole (FBT) or octyl-thieno[3,4-]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) or 2,1,3-benzoselendiazole (SeT) was selected as the second electron-accepting (A₂) moiety, while bithiophene with hexyl side chain was used as the electron-donating moiety. The UV-vis absorption, electrochemical properties, blend film morphology, and photovoltaic properties were studied to explore the effects of the A₂ moiety. It is shown that these terpolymer films exhibit broad absorption (350⁻1000 nm), full width at half-maximum of more than 265 nm and ordered molecular packing. Varying the A₂ moiety could affect the energy levels and blend film morphology leading to different polymer solar cell (PSC) performances of these (2T)-based D-A₁-D-A₂ terpolymers. As a result, the highest of 10.70 mA/cm² is achieved for Polymer 1 (P1) with BT as A₂ moiety, while the higher highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level limits the open circuit voltage () and leads to a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 3.46%.
通过直接芳基化反应制备了一系列具有不同A₂基团的基于联噻吩(2T)的D-A₁-D-A₂三元共聚物。在这些三元共聚物中,吡咯并[3,4-c]吡咯-1,4-二酮(DPP)被选作第一个电子受体(A₁)基团,2,1,3-苯并噻二唑(BT)或氟化苯并噻二唑(FBT)或辛基噻吩并[3,4-c]吡咯-4,6-二酮(TPD)或2,1,3-苯并硒二唑(SeT)被选作第二个电子受体(A₂)基团,而带有己基侧链的联噻吩用作供电子基团。研究了紫外-可见吸收、电化学性质、共混膜形态和光伏性质,以探究A₂基团的影响。结果表明,这些三元共聚物薄膜表现出宽吸收(350-1000 nm)、半高宽超过265 nm以及有序的分子堆积。改变A₂基团会影响能级和共混膜形态,导致这些基于(2T)的D-A₁-D-A₂三元共聚物具有不同的聚合物太阳能电池(PSC)性能。因此,以BT作为A₂基团的聚合物1(P1)实现了最高10.70 mA/cm²的电流密度,而较高的最高占据分子轨道(HOMO)能级限制了开路电压(Voc),并导致功率转换效率(PCE)为3.46%。
