A Low Band Gap, Solution Processable Oligothiophene with a Diketopyrrolopyrrole Core for Use in Organic Solar Cells

Tamayo, Arnold B., Walker, Bright, Nguyen*, Thuc-Quyen·2008·The Journal of Physical Chemistry C

Abstract

We synthesized a low band gap, solution processable oligothiophene derivative functionalized with a diketopyrrolopyrrole core, which is a highly absorbing chromophoric group. This design leads to optical absorption that extends to 720 nm in solution and to 820 nm in the film. Cyclic voltammetry shows quasireversible oxidation and reduction processes. Bulk heterojunction solar cells using [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) as the electron acceptor were fabricated. The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) depend on the donor−acceptor ratio. A 70:30 donor/acceptor by weight mixture provided a PCE of 2.3% under simulated AM 1.5 solar irradiation of 100 mW/cm 2 . To date, this is the highest efficiency reported for small molecule-based solution processed bulk heterojunction solar cells.

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.
