Despite the common use of the donor-π bridge-acceptor architecture in designing sensitizers, the underlying structure-performance relationship remains not fully understood. In this study, we synthesized and characterized three sensitizers: MOTP-Pyc, MOS_(2)P-Pyc, and MOTS_(2)P-Pyc, all featuring a bipyrimidine acceptor. Absorption spectra, cyclic voltammetry, and transient photoluminescence spectra reveal a photo-induced electron transfer(PET) process in the excited sensitizers. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy confirmed the presence of charge-separated states. The varying donor and π-bridge structures among the three sensitizers led to differences in their conjugation effect, influencing light absorption abilities and PET processes and ultimately impacting the photovoltaic performance. Among the synthesized sensitizers, MOTP-Pyc demonstrated a DSSC efficiency of 3.04%. Introducing an additional thienothiophene block into the π-bridge improved the DSSC efficiency to 4.47% for MOTS_(2)P-Pyc. Conversely, replacing the phenyl group with a thienothiophene block reduced DSSC efficiency to 2.14% for MOS_(2)P-Pyc. Given the proton-accepting ability of the bipyrimidine module, we treated the dye-sensitized TiO_(2) photoanodes with hydroiodic acid(HI), significantly broadening the light absorption range. This treatment greatly enhanced the short-circuit current density of DSSCs owing to the enhanced electron-withdrawing ability of the acceptor. Consequently, the HI-treated MOTS_(2)P-Pyc-based DSSCs achieved the highest power conversion efficiency of 7.12%, comparable to that of the N719 dye at 7.09%. This work reveals the positive role of bipyrimidine in the design of organic sensitizers for DSSC applications.展开更多

Therefore, high-performance non-fullerene organic bulk heterojunction consisting of poly[(2,6-(4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b' ]dithiophene))-co-(1,3-di(5-thiophene-2-yl)–5,7-bis(2-ethylhexyl) benzo[1,2-c:4,5-c']dithiophene-4,8-dione)] (PBDB-T) and 3,9-bis(2-methylene-(3-(1,1-dicyanomethylene)-indanone))–5,5,11,11-tetrakis(4-hexylphenyl)-dithieno[2,3-d:2' ,3'-d' ]-s-indaceno[1,2-b:5,6-b' ]-dithio-phene (ITIC) are used to investigate the correlation among various donor: acceptor (D:A) ratios, photophysical properties and photovoltaic performance. Interestingly, the function of short-circuit current (Jsc) and D:A ratios demonstrates an axisymmetric trend. When the blending ratio of D:A deviates from the optimal ratio, the symmetrically decreased Jsc is derived from a reduction in the D:A interface or amorphous region. Research on the steady-state photoluminescence (PL), the time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy measurements, atomic force microscopic (AFM) and grazing-incidence small angle X-rays scattering (GIWAXS) indicates no significant variation in energy loss in the process of changing D:A ratios in BHJs. With high donor or acceptor content, the domain size improves significantly, but the distance of π-π stacking corresponding to molecular packing has not changed significantly, and the bi-continuous percolation pathways were not obviously influenced.展开更多

It is found that the band gaps and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels between DQP and its homopolymers only have a slight difference, implying a limited conjugation extension achieved from unimer to heptamer. The DFT calculation is in accordance with the experimental results. It reveals that the nodal planes are across the 2,11-positions in the LUMO and/or HOMO of DQP, dimer and trimer, which can be used to explain this special phenomenon.展开更多

Flexible ether linking of oligo-phenylene-thiophene chain to 1, 2 C60(OH)2 is achieved employing Williamson’s ether synthesis. 7-chain phenylene-thiophene chain fluorescent conducting oligomer is synthesized using Grignard coupling reaction with preservation of bromo end groups.

All the synthesized materials are characterized through spectroscopic techniques and molecular weight is determined by mass spectrometry and GPC. Properties of the material indicate the substantial effect of fullerene. High quenching in fluorescence intensity and strong paramagnetic property are observed in this material.展开更多

Photophysical properties of the resulting copolymers were investigated with UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy. All the copolymers in chloro-form solution showed absorption peaks at 270 - 280 nm with shoulder peaks at around 380 nm derived from π-π* transition or intra-molecular charge transfer through σ-π moiety, respectively. The chloroform solutions of the copolymers showed broad emission peaks at 415 - 425 nm. The emission wave lengths of the copolymers in the solid state (cast film) detected at 360 - 385 nm were remarkably blue-shifted in comparison with those in the chloroform solutions. Hydrosilylation reaction of the copolymers with 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene yielded networked copolymers soluble in chloroform, indicating formation of branching polymers. The chloroform solutions of the HCz-based networked copolymers showed bimodal emission derived from new highly energy states in the σ-π conjugation.展开更多

文摘Molecular engineering is a crucial strategy for improving the photovoltaic performance of dye-sensitized solar cells(DSSCs). Despite the common use of the donor-π bridge-acceptor architecture in designing sensitizers, the underlying structure-performance relationship remains not fully understood. In this study, we synthesized and characterized three sensitizers: MOTP-Pyc, MOS_(2)P-Pyc, and MOTS_(2)P-Pyc, all featuring a bipyrimidine acceptor. Absorption spectra, cyclic voltammetry, and transient photoluminescence spectra reveal a photo-induced electron transfer(PET) process in the excited sensitizers. Electron spin resonance spectroscopy confirmed the presence of charge-separated states. The varying donor and π-bridge structures among the three sensitizers led to differences in their conjugation effect, influencing light absorption abilities and PET processes and ultimately impacting the photovoltaic performance. Among the synthesized sensitizers, MOTP-Pyc demonstrated a DSSC efficiency of 3.04%. Introducing an additional thienothiophene block into the π-bridge improved the DSSC efficiency to 4.47% for MOTS_(2)P-Pyc. Conversely, replacing the phenyl group with a thienothiophene block reduced DSSC efficiency to 2.14% for MOS_(2)P-Pyc. Given the proton-accepting ability of the bipyrimidine module, we treated the dye-sensitized TiO_(2) photoanodes with hydroiodic acid(HI), significantly broadening the light absorption range. This treatment greatly enhanced the short-circuit current density of DSSCs owing to the enhanced electron-withdrawing ability of the acceptor. Consequently, the HI-treated MOTS_(2)P-Pyc-based DSSCs achieved the highest power conversion efficiency of 7.12%, comparable to that of the N719 dye at 7.09%. This work reveals the positive role of bipyrimidine in the design of organic sensitizers for DSSC applications.

文摘The composition ratio of donor and acceptor materials in organic bulk heterojunction (BHJ) is one of the key parameters to govern the performance in organic solar cells (OSCs). Therefore, high-performance non-fullerene organic bulk heterojunction consisting of poly[(2,6-(4,8-bis(5-(2-ethylhexyl)thiophen-2-yl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b' ]dithiophene))-co-(1,3-di(5-thiophene-2-yl)–5,7-bis(2-ethylhexyl) benzo[1,2-c:4,5-c']dithiophene-4,8-dione)] (PBDB-T) and 3,9-bis(2-methylene-(3-(1,1-dicyanomethylene)-indanone))–5,5,11,11-tetrakis(4-hexylphenyl)-dithieno[2,3-d:2' ,3'-d' ]-s-indaceno[1,2-b:5,6-b' ]-dithio-phene (ITIC) are used to investigate the correlation among various donor: acceptor (D:A) ratios, photophysical properties and photovoltaic performance. Interestingly, the function of short-circuit current (Jsc) and D:A ratios demonstrates an axisymmetric trend. When the blending ratio of D:A deviates from the optimal ratio, the symmetrically decreased Jsc is derived from a reduction in the D:A interface or amorphous region. Research on the steady-state photoluminescence (PL), the time-resolved fluorescence spectroscopy measurements, atomic force microscopic (AFM) and grazing-incidence small angle X-rays scattering (GIWAXS) indicates no significant variation in energy loss in the process of changing D:A ratios in BHJs. With high donor or acceptor content, the domain size improves significantly, but the distance of π-π stacking corresponding to molecular packing has not changed significantly, and the bi-continuous percolation pathways were not obviously influenced.

文摘A diquinoxalinopyrene (DQP) derivative and the corresponding oligomers (PDQPs) with Mn of ca. 3300, 4200, 5600, and 7300 have been synthesized. It is found that the band gaps and highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)/lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) levels between DQP and its homopolymers only have a slight difference, implying a limited conjugation extension achieved from unimer to heptamer. The DFT calculation is in accordance with the experimental results. It reveals that the nodal planes are across the 2,11-positions in the LUMO and/or HOMO of DQP, dimer and trimer, which can be used to explain this special phenomenon.
文摘The porphyrin-like macrocycles and their metal complexes are s novel family of photoresponsive molecules.The properties of the excited states,both singlet and triplet are investigated by the stationary and transient processes.
文摘A new type of anthracene crown ether 1, 8-anthraceno-18-crown-5 has been synthesizedand the photophysical properties upon complexation with alkali and alkaline-earth metal canonswere investigated. The fiuorescence quantum yield and lifetime are appreciably enhanced, and thestability constant Ks were determined by fluorometric titration. It was found that the magnitude ofKs is controlled by the size and charge density of the complexed canons.

文摘The photophysical behaviors of the oligomer based on 1,1'-binaphthol with3,3'-acetylene spacer were investigated. The oligomer molecule has a naphthyl-acetylene-naphthyl effective conjugation segment. The atropic of the 1,1'-binaphthyl moiety led totwisted and rigid main chain in the oligomer. With the changes of the external environ-ment such as solvents used, solvent viscosity and ambient temperature, the wavelengthsof absorption and the intensities of fluorescence and absorption are changed slightly, butthe fluorescent intensity and quantum yield can be influenced. The luminescent behav-iors of the oligomer exhibit twisted intramolecular charge transfer characteristics, whichcould have a potential application in wavelength-stable light emitting material adaptableto ambient temperature and the solvents used in wide range.
文摘Towards the development of potential new organic photovoltaic and optoelectronic materials, a simple route to synthesize flexibly ether linked fullerene-bis[oligo-(phenylene-alt-thiophene)] and evaluation of electrochemical, photophysical and magnetic properties is presented. Flexible ether linking of oligo-phenylene-thiophene chain to 1, 2 C60(OH)2 is achieved employing Williamson’s ether synthesis. 7-chain phenylene-thiophene chain fluorescent conducting oligomer is synthesized using Grignard coupling reaction with preservation of bromo end groups. Oligomer is highly ordered and soluble in all organic solvents while on linking to fullerene-diol, solubility of adduct restricts only to dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). All the synthesized materials are characterized through spectroscopic techniques and molecular weight is determined by mass spectrometry and GPC. Properties of the material indicate the substantial effect of fullerene. High quenching in fluorescence intensity and strong paramagnetic property are observed in this material.
文摘Alternating copolymerization of 9,9-dihexyl-2,7-dibromofluorene, N-hexyl-2,7-dibromocarbazole (HCz) with diethynyldimethylsilane, diethynyldiphenylsilane, has been investigated using Sonogashira coupling reaction. Photophysical properties of the resulting copolymers were investigated with UV-Vis absorption and photoluminescence spectroscopy. All the copolymers in chloro-form solution showed absorption peaks at 270 - 280 nm with shoulder peaks at around 380 nm derived from π-π* transition or intra-molecular charge transfer through σ-π moiety, respectively. The chloroform solutions of the copolymers showed broad emission peaks at 415 - 425 nm. The emission wave lengths of the copolymers in the solid state (cast film) detected at 360 - 385 nm were remarkably blue-shifted in comparison with those in the chloroform solutions. Hydrosilylation reaction of the copolymers with 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)benzene yielded networked copolymers soluble in chloroform, indicating formation of branching polymers. The chloroform solutions of the HCz-based networked copolymers showed bimodal emission derived from new highly energy states in the σ-π conjugation.

文摘The perylene diimide derivatives(s-THBPDI and d-THBPDI) bearing oxygen bridged twisty heptatomic biphenyl in the bay positions of the perylene core through acetylene bond were designed and synthesized.The photophysical properties of the functionalized dyes were investigated in solution and solid state by UV-vis and photoluminescence(PL) spectra.Their UV-vis and PL spectrum both exhibited the different concentration-dependent behaviors due to the difference of chemical structure.Moreover,cyclic voltammetry results indicated that the introduction of oxygen bridged twisted heptatomic biphenyl could decrease the LUMO energy level of the perylene diimide effectively and made it promising material in photoelectric devices.
