I found the field of Polymer Science very interesting. Saw the article A New Benzodithiophene Based Donor-Acceptor pi-Conjugated Polymer for Organic Solar Cells published in 2020.0. Name: Diphenyl oxide, Reprint Addresses Jin, SH (corresponding author), Pusan Natl Univ, Inst Plast Informat & Energy Mat, Grad Dept Chem Mat, Dept Chem Educ, Busandaehakro 63-2, Pusan, South Korea.. The CAS is 101-84-8. Through research, I have a further understanding and discovery of Diphenyl oxide
A new benzodithiophene based donor-acceptor pi-conjugated polymer (P1) is designed and explored as the photoactive donor for organic solar cells (OSCs). The synthesized donor polymer, P1 displays a wide absorption profile ranging from 300-750 nm with optical band gap of 1.61 eV and moderate ionization potential of -5.30 eV. It has good solubility in non-halogenated and halogenated organic solvents. Next, we fabricated OSCs with P1 by blending with PC71BM, the pristine polymer processed from chlorobenzene showed PCE of 2.79%. Upon addition of external additive diphenyl ether to the blend showed a dramatic improvement in PCE with maximum of 5.33%. DPE tailored the active layer morphology and showed two times higher PCE than pristine films. These results clearly indicate that the new polymer has a great potentiality for enhancing efficiency upon solvent additives, which will provide new routes for the development of new class of polymers for high-performance air-stable OSCs.
