Item type:Item, Transparent Hole-Transporting Frameworks: A Unique Strategy to Design High-Performance Semitransparent Organic Photovoltaics(1970-01-01) ;Cheng, Pei ;Wang, Hao-Cheng ;Zhu, Yuan ;Zheng, RanLi, TengfeiThanks to the nature of molecular orbitals, the absorption spectra of organic semiconductors are not continuous like those in traditional inorganic semiconductors, which offers a unique application of organic photovoltaics (OPVs): semitransparent OPVs. Recently, the exciting progress of materials design has promoted the development of semitransparent OPVs. However, in the perspective of device engineering, almost all reported works reduce the thickness of back/reflected electrode to obtain high average visible transmittance (AVT), which is a trade-off between power conversion efficiency (PCE) and the transmittance of the whole solar spectrum (visible and infrared), and therefore limit the further development. Herein, a unique strategy of "transparent hole-transporting frameworks" is proposed. A hole-transporting large-bandgap polymer (poly[bis(4-phenyl)(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)amine (PTAA)) is employed to partially replace polymer donors in the active layer of PBDB-T/Y1. PTAA is a p-type polymer with a large bandgap of 2.9 eV; the partial substitution of PBDB-T by PTAA reduces the absorption of the active layer only in the visible region, keeping the hole-transporting pathways as well as the optimized film morphology. As a result, semitransparent OPVs with PCEs of 12% and AVTs of 20% are achieved, both on rigid and flexible substrates. To demonstrate the generality, this strategy is also used in three different active layers.Item type:Item, Enabling High-Performance Tandem Organic Photovoltaic Cells by Balancing the Front and Rear Subcells(1970-01-01) ;Cheng, Pei ;Wang, Hao-Cheng ;Zheng, Ran ;Zhu, YuanDai, ShuixingIn tandem organic photovoltaics, the front subcell is based on large-bandgap materials, whereas the case of the rear subcell is more complicated. The rear subcell is generally composed of a narrow-bandgap acceptor for infrared absorption but a large-bandgap donor to realize a high open-circuit voltage. Unfortunately, most of the ultraviolet-visible part of the photons are absorbed by the front subcell; as a result, in the rear subcell, the number of excitons generated on large-bandgap donors will be reduced significantly. This reduces the (photo) conductivity and finally limits the hole-transporting property of the rear subcell. In this work, a simple and effective way is proposed to resolve this critical issue. To ensure sufficient photogenerated holes in the rear subcell, a small amount of an infrared-absorbing polymer donor as a third component is introduced, which provides a second hole-generation and transporting mechanism to minimize the aforementioned detrimental effects. Finally, the short-circuit current density of the two-terminal tandem organic photovoltaic is significantly enhanced from 10.3 to 11.7 mA cm(-2)(while retaining the open-circuit voltage and fill factor) to result in an enhanced power conversion efficiency of 15.1%.Item type:Item, Engineering the Core Units of Small-Molecule Acceptors to Enhance the Performance of Organic Photovoltaics(1970-01-01) ;Wang, Hao-Cheng ;Chen, Chung-Hao ;Li, Ren-Hao ;Lin, Yu-CheTsao, Cheng-SiUnderstanding the chemical structures of next-generation small molecules is a critical step for increasing the performance of organic photovoltaics (OPVs); an OPV's small molecule determines not only the extent of light absorption but also the morphology. Herein, four small molecules featuring different cores-indaceno dithiophene, dithienoindeno indaceno dithiophene (IDTT), substituted IDTT, and dithienothiophene-pyrrolobenzothiadiazole-denoted as ID-4Cl, IT-4Cl, m-ITIC-OR-4Cl, and Y7, respectively, are selected to form active layers with poly(quinoxaline) (PTQ10) and poly(benzodithiophene-4,8-dione) (PM6). The Y7 devices exhibit the best performance in both systems, with the power conversion efficiency (PCE) reaching 14.5%; in comparison, ID-4Cl device gives a PCE of 10.0% for blending with PTQ10 and a relative efficiency enhancement of 45%. The same trend occurs for the cases of PM6 blend devices. This enhancement is attributed to i) the improved short-circuit current density that is provided by the greater degree of conjugation in S, N-heteroarenes ladder-type fused-ring cores of Y7, ii) an induced face-on Y7 orientation and smaller domain sizes that result from the sp(2)-hybridized nitrogen side chain, and iii) smaller energy loss. This study reveals the importance of the core structure on the device performance and provides guidelines for the design of new materials for OPV technologies.Item type:Item, Rational Tuning of Molecular Interaction and Energy Level Alignment Enables High-Performance Organic Photovoltaics(1970-01-01) ;Wang, Rui ;Yuan, Jun ;Han, Guangchao ;Huang, TianyiHuang, WenchaoThe performance of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) has rapidly improved over the past years. Recent work in material design has primarily focused on developing near-infrared nonfullerene acceptors with broadening absorption that pair with commercialized donor polymers; in the meanwhile, the influence of the morphology of the blend film and the energy level alignment on the efficiency of charge separation needs to be synthetically considered. Herein, the selection rule of the donor/acceptor blend is demonstrated by rationally considering the molecular interaction and energy level alignment, and highly efficient OPV devices using both-fluorinated or both-nonfluorinated donor/acceptor blends are realized. With the enlarged absorption, ideal morphology, and efficient charge transfer, the devices based on the PBDB-T-F/Y1-4F blend and PBDB-T-F/Y6 exhibit champion power conversion efficiencies as high as 14.8% and 15.9%, respectively.
