摘要
To develop photovoltaics embracing the both features of high performance and low cost has drawn attentions of researchers,yet representing the significant challenges.In this work,two non-fused ring acceptors(NFRAs),namely p-PTIC4Cl and t-PTIC4Cl,were developed via a short synthetic route.By tethering unaxisymmetric aromatic chains to thienyl bridge of NFRAs,we revealed that the tuning of aromatic chains allows modulating the self-assembly and stacking of NFRAs in solid,hence influencing their optoelectronic and photovoltaic properties.As results,p-PTIC4Cl,consisting of 3-hexylbenzene with large axial angle to backbone,can achieve superior PCE of 11.30%than that of t-PTIC4Cl with 2-hexylthiophene chains(PCE of 6.49%),when pairing with polymer donor PBDB-TF.Despite of the only subtle structural difference,the p-PTIC4Cl based blend films possess better exciton dissociation and charge transfer rates,as well as photostability,to those of t-PTIC4Cl based blends.
