To clearly show how important the impact of side chains on organic solar cells (OSCs) is, we designed three acceptors IDIC-CPh ( = 4, 5, or 6) via subtle side-chain regulation. Despite this small change, significant distinctions were detected. IDIC-C4Ph devices achieve an optimal efficiency of 13.94% under thermal annealing, but thermal-assistant solvent-vapor annealing hugely suppresses the efficiencies to 10%. However, the C6Ph side chain endows extremely disordered stacking orientations, generating moderate efficiencies of ~12.50%. Excitingly, the IDIC-C5Ph affords an unexpected two-channel π-π charge transport (TCCT) property, boosting the fill factor (FF) by up to 80.02% and efficiency to 14.56%, ranking the best among five-ring fused-ladder-type acceptors. Impressively, the special TCCT behavior of IDIC-C5Ph enables 470 nm thick-film OSC with a high FF of up to 70.12% and efficiency of 13.01%, demonstrating the great promise in fabricating large-scale OSCs.
为了清楚地展示侧链对有机太阳能电池(OSC)的影响有多重要,我们通过微调侧链设计了三种受体IDIC-CPh( = 4、5或6)。尽管有这个小变化,但仍检测到了显著差异。IDIC-C4Ph器件在热退火下实现了13.94%的最佳效率,但热辅助溶剂蒸汽退火极大地将效率抑制到了10%。然而,C6Ph侧链赋予了极其无序的堆积取向,产生了约12.50%的中等效率。令人兴奋的是,IDIC-C5Ph具有意想不到的双通道π-π电荷传输(TCCT)特性,将填充因子(FF)提高了80.02%,效率提高到14.56%,在五环稠合梯形受体中排名最佳。令人印象深刻的是,IDIC-C5Ph的特殊TCCT行为使470nm厚膜OSC具有高达70.12%的高FF和13.01%的效率,这表明在制造大规模OSC方面具有巨大潜力。
