摘要
Fluorine substitution was applied to the donor and acceptor segments of block copolymers to understand the impact of molecular structure on photovoltaic block copolymers and explore efficient materials for single-component organic solar cells(SCOSCs).Along this line,three fluorinated block copolymers,namely PBDB-T-b-PTYF6,PM6-b-PTY6,and PM6-bPTYF6,derived from PBDB-T-b-PTY6 were designed and synthesized.The UV-Vis absorption,energy level,and thin-film morphology of these block copolymers were systematically characterized.All fluorinated block copolymers show narrow bandgap and improved crystallinity.An enhanced open-circuit voltage was observed in the SCOSC based on PM6-b-PTY6.However,SCOSCs based on all fluorinated block copolymers exhibited low short-circuit current due to energy level mismatch and therefore had low power conversion efficiency at around 4%.By contrast,the SCOSCs based on control block copolymer PBDB-T-b-PTY6 exhibited the highest power conversion efficiency approaching 10%,with a high short-circuit current of 18.57 mA/cm~2.Our study was the first to perform fluorination on photovoltaic block copolymers and provides insight into precisely controlling the polymer structure and understanding the structure-property relationship in SCOSCs based on block copolymers.
