摘要
Two novel asymmetrical squaraines based on the indoline unit, ASQ-5-F and ASQ-5-DF, with one and two fluorine substituents, have been developed to investigate the effect of fluorine substituted on small-molecule bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs). In comparison with non-fluorine-substituted ASQ-5, both fluorine-substituted ASQ-5-F and ASQ-5-DF possess analogous absorption band gaps but 0.05 and 0.10 eV lowered highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy levels, respectively. Single-crystal analysis exhibits that ASQ-5-DF shows more desirable intermolecular packing patterns for the hole-carrier collection than ASQ-5 does; hence, higher hole mobility could be acquired. Therefore, solution-processed small-molecule BHJ OSCs fabricated with ASQ-5-F/PC71BM and ASQ-5-DF/PC71BM blends exhibit extremely higher power conversion efficiency (PCE; 5.0% and 6.0%, respectively) than that of ASQ-5/PC71BM (4.5%). The much improved PCE could be attributed to the simultaneously enhanced V-oc, J(sc), and FF relative to those of the ASQ-5-based device. To our knowledge, this is the highest PCE (6.0%) among squaraine-based solution-processed BHJ OSCs and the highest PCE in OSCs based on the fluorinated donor segment of small molecules.
