Effects of Side-Chain Engineering with the S Atom in Thieno[3,2- b]thiophene-porphyrin to Obtain Small-Molecule Donor Materials for Organic Solar Cells. Molecules 2021; 26:molecules26206134. [PMID: 34684713 PMCID: PMC8538340 DOI: 10.3390/molecules26206134] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2021] [Revised: 06/03/2021] [Accepted: 06/04/2021] [Indexed: 11/23/2022] Open
Abstract
To explore the effect of the introduction of heteroatoms on the properties of porphyrin materials, a new porphyrin-based derivative small-molecule donor named as PorTT-T was designed and synthesized based on alkyl-thieno[3,2-b]thiophene(TT)-substituted porphyrins. The linker bridge and end groups of PorTT-T were the same as those of XLP-II small-molecule donor materials, while the side-chain attached to the core of thieno[3,2-b]thiophene(TT)-substituted porphyrin was different. Measurements of intrinsic properties showed that PorTT-T has wide absorption and appropriate energy levels in the UV-visible range. A comparison of the morphologies of the two materials using atomic force microscopy showed that PorTT-T has a better surface morphology with a smaller root-mean-square roughness, and can present closer intermolecular stacking as compared to XLP-II. The device characterization results showed that PorTT-T with the introduced S atom has a higher open circuit voltage of 0.886 eV, a higher short circuit current of 12.03 mAcm−2, a fill factor of 0.499, a high photovoltaic conversion efficiency of 5.32%, better external quantum efficiency in the UV-visible range, and higher hole mobility.

Abstract
Organic molecules can absorb or emit light in UV, visible and infra-red (IR) region of solar radiation. Fifty percent of energy of solar radiation lies in the IR region of solar spectrum and extended π-conjugated molecules containing low optical band gap can absorb NIR radiations. Recently IR molecules have grabbed the attention of synthetic chemists. Although only few molecules have been reported so far such as derivative of BODIPY, naphthalimide, porphyrins, perylene, BBT etc., they have shown highest absorbing capacity towards greater than 1100 nm. These compounds have potential applications in different fields, such as for biomedical and optoelectronic applications. In this review, we present different classes of light-harvesters with harvesting range above 1000 nm.

Abstract
In this review, small-molecule donors for application in organic solar cells reported in the last
three years are highlighted. Especially, the effect of donor molecular structure on power conversion efficiency
of organic solar cells is reported in detail. Furthermore, the mechanism is proposed and discussed
for explaining the relationship between structure and power conversion efficiency. These results
and discussions draw some rules for rational donor molecular design, which is very important for further
improving the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells based on the small-molecule donor.
