Most of all-fused-ring π-conjugated molecules have wide or medium bandgap and show photo response in the visible range. In this work, an all-fused-ring n-type molecule, which exhibits an ultrasmall optical bandgap of 1.22 eV and strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption with an onset absorption wavelength of 1013 nm is reported. The molecule consists of 14 aromatic rings and has electron donor-acceptor characteristics. It exhibits excellent n-type properties with low-lying HOMO/LUMO energy levels of -5.48 eV/-3.95 eV and high electron mobility of 7.0 × 10 cm V s . Most importantly, its thin film exhibits a low trap density of 5.55 × 10 cm because of the fixed molecular conformation and consequently low conformation disorder. As a result, organic photodetector (OPD) based on the compound exhibits a remarkably low dark current density (J ) of 2.01 × 10 A cm at 0 V. The device shows a shot-noise-limited specific detectivity (D *) of exceeding 10 Jones at 400-1000 nm wavelength region with a peak specific detectivity of 4.65 × 10 Jones at 880 nm. This performance is among the best reported for self-powered NIR OPDs.
大多数全稠环π共轭分子具有宽带隙或中带隙,并在可见光范围内表现出光响应。在这项工作中,报道了一种全稠环n型分子,其具有1.22 eV的超小光学带隙和1013 nm的起始吸收波长的强近红外(NIR)吸收。该分子由14个芳环组成,具有电子供体-受体特性。它具有优异的n型性能,HOMO/LUMO能级较低,为-5.48 eV/-3.95 eV,电子迁移率高达7.0×10 cm V s。最重要的是,由于分子构象固定且构象无序度低,其薄膜的陷阱密度低至5.55×10 cm。因此,基于该化合物的有机光电探测器(OPD)在0 V时的暗电流密度(J)极低,为2.01×10 A cm。该器件在400-1000 nm波长区域的散粒噪声限制比探测率(D*)超过10 Jones,在880 nm处的峰值比探测率为4.65×10 Jones。这一性能是自供电近红外OPD中报道的最佳性能之一。
