摘要

Three small molecule (SM) donors,namely B-T-CN,B-TT-CN and B-DTT-CN,with different π conjugated bridges were synthesized in this research.Interestingly,with the conjugated fused rings of the π linking bridge increasing,the SM HOMO levels exhibit a decline tendency with-5.27 eV for B-T-CN,-5.31 eV for B-TT-CN and-5.40 eV for B-DTT-CN.After blending the SM donors with the fullerene acceptor PC71BM,the all SM organic solar cells (OSCs) achieved high Vocs of 0.90 to 0.96 V.However,the phase separation morphology and molecule stacking are also unexpectedly changed together with the enhancement of conjugated degree of π bridges,resulting in a lower power conversion efficiency (PCE) for the B-DTT-CN:PC71BM device.Our results demonstrate and provide a useful way to enhance OSC Voc and the morphology needs to be further optimized.
