The results show that the addition of P3HT-b-P3TEGT additives can effectively improve the compatibility between P3HT and ZnO nanocrystals, increase the crystalline and ordered packing of P3HT chains, and form optimized hybrid nanomorphology with stable and intimate hybrid interface. The improvement is ascribed to the P3HT-b-P3TEGT at the P3HT/ZnO interface that has strong coordination interactions between the TEG side chains and the polar surface of ZnO nanoparticles. All of these are favor of the efficient exciton dissociation, charge separation and transport, thereby, contributing to the improvement of the efficiency and thermal stability of solar cells. These observations indicate that introducing all-conjugated amphiphilic BCP additives can be a promising and effective protocol for high-performance hybrid solar cells.展开更多

For studying the effect of n-bridges on the photovoltaic performance of the D-A copolymers, here we synthesized a new D-A copolymer J61-F based on the same donor and acceptor units as J61 but with furan n-bridges instead of thiophene. J61-F possesses a deeper the highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level at -5.45 eV in comparison with that (-5.32 eV) of J61. The non-fullerene PSCs based on J61-F:ITIC exhibited a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 8.24% with a higher open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.95 V, which is benefitted from the lower-lying HOMO energy level of J61-F donor material. The results indicate that main chain engineering by changing n-bridges is another effective way to tune the electronic energy levels of the conjugated D-A copolymers for the application as donor materials in non-fullerene PSCs.展开更多

The self-assembling process of the multilayer was monitored by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, and the data indicated a linear increase in film thick- ness with a number of ws-P(PV-co-SMA)/PDDA bilayers. The alternative deposition of ws-P (PV-co-SMA) and PDDA allowed the insertion of a non-conjugated layer between the conjugated layers, thus the migration of the photogenerated polarons was effectively confined in the isolated ws-P (PV-co-SMA) chains. Consequently, the photoluminescence quantum yield reached 0.68, 30 times higher than that of pure poly(p-phenylen vinylene). The distinct electronic interactions between conjugated segments were confirmed by comparative analyses of the excitation spectra and time-resolved photoluminescence spectra of ws-P(PV-co-SMA) solid film and the assembled multilayers. The confinement effect of the PDDA layer on the photogenerated carriers was verified by the surface photovoltage spectroscopic measurement on both ws-P(PV-co-SMA) solid film and self-assembled multilayers.展开更多

文摘The general strategy to construct D-A type conjugated polymers is alternating copolymerization of electron-donating(D)monomer and electron-accepting(A)monomer.In this article,we report a new strategy to develop D-A type conjugated polymers,i.e.first fuse the D and A units into a polycyclic structure to produce a building block and then polymerize the building block with another unit.We develop a new building block with ladder structure based on B←N unit,B←N bridged dipyridylbenzene(BNDPB).In the skeleton of BNDPB,one diamine-substituted phenylene ring(D unit)and two B←N-linked pyridyl rings(A unit)are fused together to produce the polycyclic structure.Owning to the presence of intramolecular D-A character,the building block itself exhibits narrow bandgap of 1.74 eV.The conjugated polymers based on BNDPB show unique electronic structures,i.e.localized HOMOs and delocalized LUMOs,which are rarely observed for conventional D-A conjugated polymers.The polymers exhibit smaller bandgap than that of the building block BNDPB and display near-infrared(NIR)light absorption(λabs=ca.700 nm).This study thus provides not only a new strategy to design D-A conjugated polymers but also a new kind of building block with narrow bandgap.

文摘This paper reports the synthesis of a water soluble conjugated polymer poly(p-phenylene vinyleneco-sodium methacrylate) (ws-P(PV-co-SMA)) and the multilayer of the derived copolymer assembling poly(diallyl dimethyl ammanium chloride) (PDDA). The self-assembling process of the multilayer was monitored by UV-vis absorption spectroscopy, and the data indicated a linear increase in film thick- ness with a number of ws-P(PV-co-SMA)/PDDA bilayers. The alternative deposition of ws-P (PV-co-SMA) and PDDA allowed the insertion of a non-conjugated layer between the conjugated layers, thus the migration of the photogenerated polarons was effectively confined in the isolated ws-P (PV-co-SMA) chains. Consequently, the photoluminescence quantum yield reached 0.68, 30 times higher than that of pure poly(p-phenylen vinylene). The distinct electronic interactions between conjugated segments were confirmed by comparative analyses of the excitation spectra and time-resolved photoluminescence spectra of ws-P(PV-co-SMA) solid film and the assembled multilayers. The confinement effect of the PDDA layer on the photogenerated carriers was verified by the surface photovoltage spectroscopic measurement on both ws-P(PV-co-SMA) solid film and self-assembled multilayers.
