Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Organic Electronics
  • Nanotechnology

Background:

  • Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) offer tunable properties and excellent charge transport for organic solar cells (OSCs).
  • Poor dispersibility of MOFs in low-polarity solvents has limited their application in OSCs.
  • Developing effective MOF integration strategies is crucial for advancing OSC performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize and infiltrate 2D MOFs (Cu-TCPP, Zn-TCPP) into the active layer of OSCs.
  • To enhance charge transport and molecular packing via MOF integration.
  • To improve the efficiency and operational stability of OSCs.

Main Methods:

  • Synthesis of two-dimensional MOF materials (Cu-TCPP, Zn-TCPP).
  • Anti-solvent strategy for precise infiltration of MOFs into the active layer.
  • Characterization of molecular packing, phase separation, and charge transport.

Main Results:

  • Zn-TCPP incorporation led to an outstanding OSC efficiency of 20.70%.
  • Enhanced intermolecular interactions and π-d conjugation improved molecular packing and vertical phase separation.
  • MOF integration significantly improved the morphological and operational stability of the OSCs.

Conclusions:

  • The anti-solvent strategy enables effective MOF integration for high-performance OSCs.
  • MOFs can serve as efficient charge transport channels and enhance device stability.
  • This work presents a promising approach for fabricating stable and efficient organic photovoltaics.
