D18-Cl, highly efficient polymer semiconductor for NF-PSCs

Deeper HOMO and LUMO levels than D18

Specifications | Pricing and Options | MSDS | Literature and Reviews

D18-Cl, a chlorinated version of D18, is another highly efficient polymer semiconductor that is demonstrating over 18% PCE in non-fullerene polymer solar cells (NF-PSCs).

When compared with D18, which has fluorinated thiophene side chains, shows both deeper HOMO and LUMO energy levels. A device efficiency of 18.12% and certified efficiency of 17.6% have been achieved using D18-Cl as the electron donor and N3 as an acceptor in a single junction non-fullerene polymer solar cell (NF-PSC) [1]. Further improvement of device performance to an outstanding PCE of 18.69% was obtained while a second acceptor PCBM was used in the active layer [2]. PCE of 20.8% was achieved by using D18-Cl as the polymer donor and BTP-4F-P2EH as the NFA acceptor by engaging the same layer-by-layer deposition method [3].

Characterisations

UV-Vis Absorption

d18-cl uv-vis absorption in chloroform and in fim
UV-Vis absorption of of D18-Cl in chloroform (CF) and in film (as-cast film on glass) and its solubility in THF at 8 mg/ml.

Cyclic Voltammetry

d18-cl polymer cyclic voltammetry in film
Cyclic voltammograms of the D18-Cl film on platinum electrode in 0.1M Bu4NClO4 in acetonitrile at a scan rate of 100 mV s−1.

The cyclic voltammograms (CV) measurements were recorded on Ossila Potentiostat by using a three-electrode system with platinum disc as the working electrode, platinum wire as the counter electrode, Ag/Ag+ electrode as the reference electrode with a scanning rate of 100 mV/s in a 0.1 M tetrabutylammonium perchlorate (Bu4NClO4) solution. The potential of Ag/Ag+ reference electrode was internally calibrated by using ferrocene/ferroncenium (Fc/Fc+) as the redox couple.
