Abstract | It is of great significance to develop efficient donor polymers during the rapid development of acceptor materials for nonfullerene bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) polymer solar cells. Herein, a new donor polymer, named PBTT-F, based on a strongly electron-deficient core (5,7-dibromo-2,3-bis(2-ethylhexyl)benzo[1,2-b:4,5-c ']dithiophene-4,8-dione, TTDO), is developed through the design of cyclohexane-1,4-dione embedded into a thieno[3,4-b]thiophene (TT) unit. When blended with the acceptor Y6, the PBTT-F-based photovoltaic device exhibits an outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 16.1% with a very high fill factor (FF) of 77.1%. This polymer also shows high efficiency for a thick-film device, with a PCE of approximate to 14.2% being realized for an active layer thickness of 190 nm. In addition, the PBTT-F-based polymer solar cells also show good stability after storage for approximate to 700 h in a glove box, with a high PCE of approximate to 14.8%, which obviously shows that this kind of polymer is very promising for future commercial applications. This work provides a unique strategy for the molecular synthesis of donor polymers, and these results demonstrate that PBTT-F is a very promising donor polymer for use in polymer solar cells, providing an alternative choice for a variety of fullerene-free acceptor materials for the research community. |
