Ternary Polymer

Although reported ternary polymer solar cells have higher power conversion efficiency than binary polymers, the mechanism of exciton separation and charge transport in this complex ternary system is still unclear. Herein, based on PM6:Y6:ITIC-M ternary solar cells, we combine the technique of luminescence spectroscopy, including electroluminescence (EL) and photoluminescence (PL) with photovoltaic measurements, to understand clearly the detailed roles of ITIC-M as the third component in the contribution of device performance. The results show that ITIC-M can form the alloy-like composite with Y6 but leave individual Y6 acceptor to conduct charge transfer with PM6 donor, which improves Voc but decreases Jsc because of poor charge transfer capacity of ITIC-M. Meanwhile, the energy transfer from PM6 to ITIC-M exists in the active layers; small IE suppresses exciton dissociation. Deteriorating performance of solar cells demonstrates that, except for complementary absorption spectrum and suitable energy levels in PM6:Y6:ITIC-M system, the synergetic effects of carrier dynamics among different organic materials play an important role in influencing the performance of ternary solar cells.

Abstract The development of high-performance organic solar cells (OSCs) with thick active layers is of crucial importance for the roll-to-roll printing of large-area solar panels. Unfortunately, increasing the active layer thickness usually results in a significant reduction in efficiency. Herein, we fabricated efficient thick-film OSCs with an active layer consisting of one polymer donor and two non-fullerene acceptors. The two acceptors were found to possess enlarged exciton diffusion length in the mixed phase, which is beneficial to exciton generation and dissociation. Additionally, layer by layer approach was employed to optimize the vertical phase separation. Benefiting from the synergetic effects of enlarged exciton diffusion length and graded vertical phase separation, a record high efficiency of 17.31% (certified value of 16.9%) was obtained for the 300 nm-thick OSC, with an unprecedented short-circuit current density of 28.36 mA cm−2, and a high fill factor of 73.0%. Moreover, the device with an active layer thickness of 500 nm also shows a record efficiency of 15.21%. This work provides new insights into the fabrication of high-efficiency OSCs with thick active layers.
