Ossila材料PTB7 CAS:1266549-31-8 PTB7

Applications

PTB7 for high-performance organic photovoltaics.

Poly[[4,8-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)oxy]benzo[1,2-b:4,5-b']dithiophene-2,6-diyl][3-fluoro-2-[(2-ethylhexyl)carbonyl]thieno[3,4-b]thiophenediyl]], more commonly known as PTB7.

In stock now for immediate dispatch worldwide.

PTB7 gives some of the highest reported efficiencies for polymer:fullerene solar cells due to its extended absorption into the near infra-red and lower HOMO level. Together with our complete package of processing information, PTB7 becomes a quick and easy way to improve device efficiencies. This represents a cost-effective method to increase performance and impact of devices and data for a wide range of OPV related research.

At typical concentrations for spin-coated devices of 10 mg/ml, a standard batch of 100 mg will produce 10 ml of ink - enough to coat 200 of Ossila's standard sized substrates even assuming 50% ink loss during preparation and filtration. At concentrations of 1 mg/ml (more typical for ink-jet printing and spray coating) up to 100 ml of ink can be produced.

In a standardised reference architecture (using a PEDOT:PSS hole interface and Ca/Al electron interface) we have shown this batch to give a PCE of 6.8% (see data sheet below) and up to 7.4% using PFN. By using new interface materials and architectures PTB7 has been shown to reach efficiencies of 9.2% PCE in the literature [1,2].

The high solubility in a wide range of solvents makes ink preparation and filtration simple, and PTB7 is one of the easiest materials we have ever worked with (simply shake it to dissolve). This also makes it an excellent candidate for a variety of coating techniques including ink-jet printing, spray coating and blade coating.

Usage Details

Inverted Reference Devices

Reference device were made on batch M211 to assess the effect of PTB7:PC₇₀BM active layer thickness on OPV efficiency using an inverted architecture with the below structure. These consisted of the below structure and were fabricated under inert atmosphere (glovebox) before encapsulation and measurement under ambient conditions.

Glass / ITO (100 nm) / PFN (6.5 nm) / PTB7:PC₇₀BM (1:1.5) / MoO_x (15 nm) / Al (100 nm)

For generic details please see the general fabrication guide and video. For specific details please see the below condensed fabrication report which details the optical modelling and optimisation of the multilayer stack.

Previously it has been shown that PFN of around 6.5 nm gives optimum performance [1-3,P021] while modelling has shown that an Al back cathode gives higher performance than Ag when used with MoO_x [4].

The PTB7:PC₇₀BM solution was made in chlorobenzene at 25 mg/ml before being diluted with 3% diiodooctane (DIO) to promote the correct morphology.

Active layer thicknesses of 75 nm, 90 nm and 105 nm were chosen corresponding to the lower, middle and upper end of the "thin film" absorption peak of a typical stack as predicted by optical modelling [1]. For each of these thickness a total of four substrates was produced, each with 4 pixels and the data presented below represents a non-subjective (no human intervention) analysis of the best 75% of pixels by PCE (12 pixels for each condition).

An additional two substrates were also prepared with a methanol wash to help remove the DIO as has been reported in the literature to help improve performance[5].

Overall, the maximum efficiency of 7.2% average PCE (7.4% maximum) was found at 75 nm film thickness.

 Figure 1: PCE, Jsc, Voc and FF for inverted architecture devices at different spin speeds. Data shown is averaged with max and min overlaid with filled circles (please see note of Dektak measurements). As previously reported [1,2,3], films of approximay 90 nm give the highest performance with greater Jsc and only minor loss in fill factor.

Note 1: Dektak Thickness calibration

We normally calibrate thin films by use of a Dektak surface profiler, however the use of DIO results in an enhanced level of uncertainty in the film as the DIO will take several hours to fully dry under normal conditions and is likely to undergo some slight further shrinkage when placed in vacuum. The DIO can also be removed by baking the substrate on the hotplate at 80°C for about 10 mins which can be useful for doing quick measurements but also drives excess phase separation between the polymer and PCBM making it unsuitable for device work.

Note 2: Effect of epoxy

Due to the very high solubility of the PTB7 it was noted during fabrication that the film changed colour when in contact with the EE1 encapsulation epoxy in liquid form for extended periods indicating that there was some miscibility. Inspection of the active areas underneath the top cathode indicated that the epoxy had not seeped into the active area before curing and device metrics indicate that this did not appear to affect performance. However, we would recommend minimising contact time between the epoxy and PTB7 films before UV curing.

Standard (Non-inverted) Reference Devices

Reference device were made on batch M211 using a standardised architecture for comparative measurements using Ossila standard substrates and materials. These consisted of the below structure and were fabricated under inert atmosphere (glovebox) before encapsulation and measurement under ambient conditions.

Glass / ITO (100 nm) / PEDOT:PSS (30 nm) / PTB7:PC₇₀BM (variable) / Ca (2.5 nm) / Al (100 nm)

For generic details please see the fabrication guide and video. For specific details please see the below condensed fabrication report and also Watters et al. [3] which details the optical modelling and optimisation of the multilayer stack.

For this standard reference architecture an average PCE of 6.6% was achieved for the optimised thickness with a peak efficiency of 6.8%. Note that no other optimisation was performed (blend ratio, DIO concentration, drying conditions etc) and so further small improvements may be obtained by varying these conditions and significant improvements obtained by using alternative interface materials [1,2].

Data shown is averaged with max and min overlaid with filled circles (please see note of Dektak measurements). As previously reported [1,2,3], films of approximay 90 nm give the highest performance with greater Jsc and only minor loss in fill factor.
