PCE11 (PffBT4T-2OD) 英國Ossila CAS:1644164-62-4

General Information

Batch details

 Note: Processing solvents for M301 is chlorobenzene (CB) and dichlorobenzene (DCB, v/v = 1:1) and M302 is DCB.

Characterisation

Molecular weight distribution of PCE11 chlorobenzene Soxhlet fraction by GPC. (Soxhlet extraction was carried out by using methanol, acetone, hexane and then chlorobenzene as washing solvents under argon. Chlorobenzene fraction was concentrated and then precipitated with methanol, dried under vacuum at 40 ^oC for 48 hours. GPC was carried out by using 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene as eluent at 140 ^oC by using polystyrene as standards).

Applications

PffBT4T-2OD (PCE11) is a low band-gap (1.65 eV) semiconducting polymer for organic photovoltaics (OPVs), which has reached power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) approaching 11% [1]. These efficiencies are a result of the high crystallinity of the polymer, providing excellent hole transport mobilities on the order of 10^-2cm²V^-1s^-1, and the ability to use a thick active layer, resulting in improved light absorption.

The size and position of the alkyl chains of PffBT4T-2OD are critical to its temperature dependant aggregation properties, enabling control over the aggregation and crystallisation of the polymer to produce an efficient donor:acceptor film morphology.

Polymer PCE11 was targeted by reacting 4,7-bis(5-bromo-4-(2-octyldodecyl)thiophen-2-yl)-5,6-difluorobenzo[c][1,2,5]-thiadiazole with 2,5-bis(trimethylstannyl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene engaging Stille Coupling reaction.

Usage Details

The structure of the high-performance (10 - 11%) devices was:

ITO / ZnO / PffBT4T-2OD:PC₇₀BM (200 – 300 nm) / MoO₃ or V₂O₅ (20 nm) / Al (100 nm)

PffBT4T-2OD:PC₇₀BM solution details:

• Blend ratio: 1:1.2,
• Polymer concentration: 9 mg/ml,
• Solvent: 1:1 blend of chlorobenzene and dichlorobenzene,
• Additive: 3% diiodooctane,
• Heating: 85°C for dissolution,

It is important to note that this solution (and the substrate being deposited onto) must be heated for spin casting, with the ideal temperature being 60 – 80°C. It is reported that a solution and substrate pre-heating temperature of 110°C should be used to allow for cooling that will occur before deposition.
