要点
BZIC shows a low optical bandgap of 1.45 eV with broad and efficient absorption band from 600 to 850 nm due to increased π−π interactions by the covalently locking thiophene and benzotriazole units
However, electron affinities of fullerene derivatives cannot be well tuned, which limits open-circuit voltages (Voc).
fullerene derivatives like PC61BM show weak absorbance in the visible-near-infrared (Vis-NIR) region and have a tendency to form crystallites in active layer
Therefore, poor light absorption limits harvesting solar radiation efficiently and large phase separation restricts exciton diffusion and transport, which will decrease short-circuit current density (Jsc)
planar fused central units with a π-electron delocalization could decrease bandgap and improve π−π stacking among molecules
