Indene−C60Bisadduct: A New Acceptor for High-Performance Polymer Solar Cells
Abstract
Polymer solar cells (PSCs) are commonly composed of a blend film of a conjugated polymer donor and a soluble C(60) derivative acceptor sandwiched between an ITO anode and a low-workfunction metal cathode. Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) are the most widely used donor and acceptor materials, respectively. However, the low LUMO energy level of PCBM limits the open circuit voltage (V(oc)) of the P3HT-based PSCs to ca. 0.6 V. Here we synthesized a new soluble C(60) derivative, indene-C(60) bisadduct (ICBA), with a LUMO energy level 0.17 eV higher than that of PCBM. The PSC based on P3HT with ICBA as acceptor shows a higher V(oc) of 0.84 V and higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.44% under the illumination of AM1.5, 100 mW/cm(2), while the PSC based on P3HT/PCBM displays a V(oc) of 0.58 V and PCE of 3.88% under the same experimental conditions. The results indicate that ICBA is an alternative high-performance acceptor and could be widely used in high-performance PSCs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
