中文摘要Rational design and synthesis of polymeric semiconductors is critical to the development of polymer solar cells (PSCs). In this work, a new series of benzodithiophene? difuranylbenzooxadiazole-based donor?acceptor co-polymersnamely, PBDT-DFBO, PBDTT-DFBO, and PBDTF-DFBO, with various side groupshave been developed for bulk-heterojunction PSCs. These side-group substituents provide the opportunity to tailor the opto-electrical properties of the polymers. In addition, we show that the reduction of the bandgap of polymers and the enhancement of charge mobility in the devices can be accomplished concurrently by substituting the alkylthienyl side group with its furan counterpart. In the preliminary investigation, one could obtain PSCs with a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 2.1% for PBDT-DFBO with an alkoxyl side chain, 2.2% for PBDTT-DFBO with an alkylthienyl side group, and 3.0% for PBDTF-DFBO with an alkylfuranyl side group. Further optimizing the performance of the devices was conducted via a simple solvent treatment. The PSCs based on PBDTF-DFBO:PC71BM could even achieve 7.0% PCE, which exhibited an enhancement of 130%. To the best of our knowledge, the value of 7.0% is the highest efficiency for furan-containing PSCs to date and is also comparable with the hitherto reported highest efficiency of the single junction PSCs. Through a combination of testing charge transport by the space-charge limited current (SCLC) model and examining the morphology by atomic force microscopy (AFM), we found that the effects of solvent treatment on the improved performance originate from higher and more balanced charge transport and the formation of fiberlike interpenetrating morphologies, which are beneficial to the increase of short-circuit current density (Jsc) and fill factor (FF). This work demonstrates a good example for tuning absorption range, energy level, charge transport, and photovoltaic properties of the polymers by side-chain engineering and the solvent treatment can offer a simple and effective method to improve the efficiency of PSCs.
