Two lowly fused NFAs were developed by tailoring the fused 7-ring central core of Y6 into a lowly fused 5-ring with two octyloxythiophene bridges to form the isomeric structures and tune the overall properties
which improved the PCE form 0.97% of BTP-in-4F based devices to 13.32% of BTP-out-4F based devices.
Two lowly fused non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) with isomeric structures
named as BTP-out-4F and BTP-in-4F
were developed by tailoring the fused 7-ring central core of Y6 into a lowly fused 5-ring linked with two octyloxythiophene bridges. BTP-out-4F with octyloxy side chains away from the central core exhibited large steric hindrance that restrained the rotational freedom between the thiophene bridge and end group but maintained free rotation between the central core and the thiophene bridge. In contrast
BTP-in-4F with octyloxy side chains close to the central core had much lower rotation freedom due to the non-covalent S···O interactions locked the central core
thiophene bridge and end group simultaneously
making BTP-in-4F have higher molecular crystallinity. On the other hand
the optical properties
energy levels and the blend morphology properties were significantly influenced
leading to distinctive photovoltaic performances. BTP-out-4F formed favorable energy level alignment and morphology when matching with PBDB-T donor
thus its device realized a much higher PCE of 13.32%
which was over 13 times than that of BTP-in-4F based device (PCE=0.97%).
