An Ammonium-Amino-Functionalized N-Annulated Perylene Diimide as a High-Performance Interlayer for Organic Photovoltaics
Source abstract
Abstract
The synthesis and characterization of a new N-annulated perylene diimide conjugated molecule bearing a unique ammonium-amino side chain (PDIN-A) is reported. The material is synthesized reproducibly by sequential S N 2 reactions, the simplicity of which enables high yields at scale, and exhibits amphiphilic behavior with high solubility in both polar and nonpolar solvents. Organic photovoltaic devices fabricated using PDIN-A as a cathode interlayer had a maximum power conversion efficiency of 16.17%. Critical is that all tested devices exhibited higher stability when compared to control devices using the now standard PDINN interlayer.
