摘要

Abstract

In all-polymer solar cells (APSCs)

number-average molecular weights (

s) of polymer donors and polymer acceptors play an important role in active layer morphology and photovoltaic performance. In this work

based on a series of APSCs with power conversion efficiency of approaching 10%

we study the effect of

s of both polymer donor and polymer acceptor on active layer morphology and photovoltaic performance of APSCs. We select poly[4-(5-(4

8-bis(5-((2-butyloctyl)thio)thiophen-2-yl)-6-methylbenzo[1

']dithiophen-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl)-5

6-difluoro-2-(2-hexyldecyl)-7-(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)-2

-benzo[

][1

triazole] (CD1) as the polymer donor and poly[4-(5-(5

10-bis(2-dodecylhexadecyl)-4

9-tetrafluuoro-7-methyl-4

10-tetrahydro3a

10-tetraaza-4

9-diborapyren-2-yl)thiophen-2-yl)-7-(5-methylthiophen-2-yl)benzo[

][1

thiadiazole] (PBN-14) as the polymer acceptor. The

s of polymer donor CD1 are 14.0

35.5 and 56.1 kg/mol

respectively

and the

s of polymer acceptor PBN-14 are 32.7

72.4 and 103.4 kg/mol

respectively. To get the desired biscontinueous fibrous network morphololgy of the polymer donor/polymer acceptor blends

at least one polymer should have high or medium

. Moreover

when the

of polymer acceptor is high

the active layer morphology and APSC device performance are insensitive to the

of polymer donor. The optimal APSC device performance is obtained when the

of both the polymer donor and the polymer acceptor are medium. These results provide a comprehensive and deep understanding on the interplay and the effect of

of polymer donors and polymer acceptors in high-performance APSCs.
