All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) are organic solar cells in which both the electron donor and the acceptor are polymers and are considered more promising in large-scale production. Thanks to the polymerizing small molecule acceptor strategy, the power conversion efficiency of all-PSCs has ushered in a leap in recent years. However, due to the electrical properties of polymerized small-molecule acceptors (PSMAs), the FF of the devices is generally not high. The typical electron transport material widely used in these devices is PNDIT-F3N, and it is a common strategy to improve the device fill factor (FF) through interface engineering. This work improves the efficiency of all-polymer solar cells through interfacial layer engineering. Using PDINN as the electron transport layer, we boost the FF of the devices from 69.21% to 72.05% and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) from 15.47% to 16.41%. This is the highest efficiency for a PY-IT-based binary all-polymer solar cell. This improvement is demonstrated in different all-polymer material systems.
全聚合物太阳能电池(all-PSC)是指电子供体和受体均为聚合物的有机太阳能电池,被认为在大规模生产中更具前景。得益于聚合小分子受体策略,近年来全聚合物太阳能电池的功率转换效率实现了飞跃。然而,由于聚合小分子受体(PSMA)的电学性质,器件的填充因子通常不高。这些器件中广泛使用的典型电子传输材料是PNDIT-F3N,通过界面工程提高器件填充因子(FF)是一种常见策略。这项工作通过界面层工程提高了全聚合物太阳能电池的效率。使用PDINN作为电子传输层,我们将器件的填充因子从69.21%提高到72.05%,功率转换效率(PCE)从15.47%提高到16.41%。这是基于PY-IT的二元全聚合物太阳能电池的最高效率。这种改进在不同的全聚合物材料体系中得到了验证。
