Porphyrin Acceptors with Two Perylene Diimide Dimers for Organic Solar Cells.
2021
Three small-molecule acceptors (Por-PDI, TEHPor-PDI, and BBOPor-PDI) with different side chains were synthesized by using a porphyrin core as the electron-donating unit and connecting electron-withdrawing perylene diimide dimers via acetylene bridges. The bulk heterojunction organic solar cells based on the three acceptors and a polymer donor provided power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 3.68-5.21 % when the active layers were fabricated with pyridine additives. Though the synthesis of Por-PDI is easier with fewer reaction steps and higher yields, the devices based on Por-PDI showed the best performance with a PCE of 5.21 %. The more ordered intermolecular packing due to the reduced steric hindrance at the porphyrin core of Por-PDI could contribute to the more balanced hole/electron mobilities, higher maximum charge generation rate, and less bimolecular recombination in Por-PDI devices, which are beneficial for the higher PCE.
