Description

5′-Hexyl-2,2′-bithiophene end-capped thienoisoindigo-based small molecule (TIDO2T) is synthesized by Stille coupling reaction. The TIDO2T exhibits good solubility in common organic solvents such as THF, toluene, dichlorobenzene and chloroform. The UV-vis absorption spectrum of TIDO2T shows wide absorption between 427 nm and 871 nm in thin solid film, and the optical band-gap calculated from absorption onset was 1.42 eV. Bulk heterojunctions (BHJ) solar cell was fabricated with TIDO2T as the donor and 6,6-phenyl-C 61-butyric acid methyl ester (PC61BM) as the acceptor by simple solution spin-coating processing. The device obtained a power conversion efficiency of 1.14% with VOC 0.44 V, JSC 7.76 mA cm -2 and FF 33% under AM 1.5G solar simulator. The external quantum efficiency (EQE) curve extends to near-infrared region (around 900-1000 nm).

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
