Materials, Organic Conductors, Semiconducting Molecules, Small Molecule OPV Donors


Like its BTR derivative, BTR-Cl (CAS number 2410661-17-3) has a backbone consisting of a benzodithiophene (BDT) unit in conjugation with two terthiophenes and two rhodanine periphera end groups forming a coplanar structure showing nematic liquid crystal behaviour.
BTR-Cl is a highly crystalline small molecular donor with even stronger intermolecular interaction, low-lying molecular energy levels, and a strong tendency for edge-on orientation.
A record-high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 13.6% for ASM OSCs was achieved using BTR-Cl as electron donor and Y6 as electron acceptor [1]. Later on, 14.7% efficiency of the same donor acceptor BTR-Cl:Y6 system was obtained with a FF of 74.7%, and JSC of 23.66 mA cm-2 at the concentration of 18 mg/ml BTR-Cl:Y6 solution [2]. Further improvement leading to a record PCE of 15.34% was gained when 5 wt% of PC71BM was added in the active layer [3]
