- Abstract
- High power conversion efficiency (PCE), long-term stability, and mechanical robustness are important requirements for the practical applications of organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, we develop a series of flexible spacer (FS)-incorporated dimerized small-molecule acceptors (DSMAs; DYBT-C0, DYBT-C4, and DYBT-C8) and demonstrate high-performance OSCs with a high PCE of 18.6%, excellent mechanical robustness (crack-onset strain (COS) = 32%) and photostability (t80% lifetime = 1735 h under 1-sun illumination). The incorporation of aliphatic FS units with optimal length effectively reduces the backbone rigidity of the DSMAs and increases the fraction of intermixed domains in the blend films, while maintaining excellent electron transport properties. The DYBT-C4-based OSCs demonstrate higher PCE (18.6%) and stretchability (COS = 32%) compared to the OSCs based on the monomer acceptor (MYT; PCE = 15.9% and COS = 10%) and DSMA without FS units (DYBT-C0; PCE =17.2% and COS = 17%). In addition, due to the reduced diffusion coefficient and higher glass transition temperature of DYBT-C4, the DYBT-C4-based OSCs exhibit photostability significantly higher than that of the OSCs fabricated using MYT (t80% lifetime= 36 h). Consequently, DYBT-C4-based intrinsically stretchable (IS)-OSCs exhibit high device stretchability (strain at PCE80% = 36%) and PCE of 14.3%, demonstrating potential for wearable applications. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
