Аннотация:Two new regular (D-A1-D-A2) terpolymers P1 and P2 containing two electron-deficient
moieties quinoxaline and benzothiadiazole were designed and synthesized. The resulting
copolymers exhibit high thermal stability, broad absorption in the range of 300 to 950 nm,
both low Eg of 1.36 and 1.57eV, as well as deep HOMO energy levels of -5.24 and -5.62 eV.
Such properties are useful in improving the photovoltaic properties. Polymer solar cells
(PSCs) based on optimized P1:PC71BM and P2:PC71BM (1:2 by weight) active layers with a
3 v% DIO/CF additive displayed power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.28 % (Voc of 0.93
V, Jsc of 10.28 mA/cm2 and FF of 0.55) and 5.54 % (Voc of 0.80 V, Jsc of 12.18 mA/cm2 and
FF of 0.57), respectively under illumination of AM1.5G (100 mWcm-2). In order to increase
the PCE further, the DIO/CF processed active layer was subjected to methanol treatment that
resulted in a PCE increase up to 7.13 % and 7.59 % for the P1:PC71BM and P2:PC71BM
based devices, respectively. The methanol treatment increases all of the photovoltaic
parameters that is attributed to the lowering of series resistance, an increase of hole mobility,
and reduction of charge recombination due to enlarged built in potential.
