After decades of research on organic solar cells using fullerene derivatives as acceptor materials a new material class - non fullerene acceptors - have surfaced.[1] Among the numerous structural motifs, perylene diimide based acceptors are researched and have shown promising photovoltaic properties with power conversion efficiency values up to 10.58%[2]. Perylene structures offer easy tunability in solubility and absorption behavior. Upon introduction of functional groups at the ortho-, bay- or imide- positions the properties of the material can be optimized.[3] Additionally dimers, oligomeric and polymeric structures have been introduced.
In this contribution, we investigate new acceptor materials based on two perylene monoimide (PMI) units linked by different conjugated spacers such as fluorene, thiophene, benzodithiazole etc. as shown in Figure 1. The facile synthesis route to fabricate functionalized perylene monoimides followed by the well-established Suzuki coupling reactions offers the possibility to obtain a variety of new acceptor materials with tunable optoelectronic properties. One example is illustrated in Figure 1, where a fluorene derivative was used as linker between two PMI species. This leads to a change in absorption maximum from 485 nm (red) to 535 nm (violet). In addition first results on the photovoltaic properties of these new acceptor materials in bulk heterojunction solar cells with selected donor polymers will be presented.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
