The photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells (OSCs) based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) has been steadily improved by developing novel non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) in recent years. Herein, to further improve the performance of P3HT-based OSCs, a solid additive (SA4) and a typical solvent additive [1,8-diiodooctane (DIO)] were employed to process P3HT:ZY-4Cl-based OSCs, respectively. In comparison with the DIO-processed device, the SA4-processed one exhibited a more ordered molecular packing and more favorable phase separation, leading to enhanced charge transport and reduced carrier recombination. As a result, the SA4-processed device delivered a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.24 %, which was much higher than that of the DIO-processed counterpart (6.26 %). This work reported a PCE over 10 % in P3HT-based OSCs for the first time, indicating the promising development of P3HT-based OSCs by morphological modulation.
近年来,通过开发新型非富勒烯受体(NFAs),基于聚(3-己基噻吩)(P3HT)的有机太阳能电池(OSCs)的光伏性能得到了稳步提升。在此,为了进一步提高基于P3HT的OSCs的性能,分别采用了一种固体添加剂(SA4)和一种典型的溶剂添加剂[1,8-二碘辛烷(DIO)]来制备基于P3HT:ZY-4Cl的OSCs。与经DIO处理的器件相比,经SA4处理的器件表现出更有序的分子堆积和更有利的相分离,从而导致电荷传输增强和载流子复合减少。结果,经SA4处理的器件实现了10.24%的功率转换效率(PCE),远高于经DIO处理的对应器件(6.26%)。这项工作首次报道了基于P3HT的OSCs的PCE超过10%,表明通过形态调制,基于P3HT的OSCs具有良好的发展前景。
