Abstract:
A diketo-pyrrolo-pyrrole (DPP) oligomer containing three DPP cores (Ph4Th4(DPP)3) was synthesized via direct arylation of C-H bonds (DACH). Ph4Th4(DPP)3 has good solubility in many organic solvents, and shows a broad absorption band from the visible to near-infrared region as well as a field-effect hole mobility as high as 0.006 cm(2) V(-1) s(-1). Solution-processed bulk heterojunction organic solar cells based on blends of Ph4Th4(DPP)3 as electron donor and fullerene derivative as electron acceptor were fabricated. An optimized power conversion efficiency of 3.76% with a high open-circuit voltage of 0.85 V was achieved after finely tuning the morphology by changing the blend ratio and by adding additives. These results indicate that DACH is an effective way to produce π-conjugated oligomers for organic solar cells.
