All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs), with the photoactive layer exclusively composed of polymers as both donor and acceptor, have attracted growing attention due to their unique merits in optical, thermal and mechanical durability. Through the combined strategies in materials design and device engineering, recently the power conversion efficiencies of single-junction all-PSCs have been boosted up to 11 %. This review focuses on the recent progress of all-PSCs comprising of wide band-gap p-type polymers, especially those based on the units of thieno[3,4-c]pyrrole-4,6(5H)-dione], fluorinated benzotriazole, benzo[1,2-c:4,5-c']dithiophene-4,8-dione, and pyrrolo[3,4-f]benzotriazole-5,7(6H)-dione. Meantime, several categories of n-type polymers used to match with these polymer donors are also reviewed. Finally, a brief summary of the strategies of molecular design and morphology optimization is given, and strategies toward further improving performance of all-PSCs are outlined.
全聚合物太阳能电池(all-PSCs)的光活性层完全由聚合物组成,同时作为给体和受体,由于其在光学、热学和机械耐久性方面的独特优势,引起了越来越多的关注。通过材料设计和器件工程的综合策略,最近单结全聚合物太阳能电池的功率转换效率已提高到 11%。本综述重点介绍了由宽带隙 p 型聚合物组成的全聚合物太阳能电池的最新进展,特别是基于噻吩[3,4-c]吡咯-4,6(5H)-二酮]、氟化苯并三唑、苯并[1,2-c:4,5-c']二噻吩-4,8-二酮和吡咯并[3,4-f]苯并三唑-5,7(6H)-二酮单元的全聚合物太阳能电池。同时,还综述了几种与之匹配的 n 型聚合物。最后,简要总结了分子设计和形貌优化的策略,并概述了进一步提高全聚合物太阳能电池性能的策略。
