- Quadrupolar D–A–D diketopyrrolopyrrole-based small molecule for ternary blend polymer solar cells
-
A quadrupole diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP)-based small molecule (DPP4T-Cz) was designed and synthesized to enhance absorption coefficient, and then employed as the third component to improve the light harvesting of polymer solar cells based on a blend of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM). Because of an enhanced absorption coefficient of more than 105 cm?1, the photon harvesting efficiency was improved effectively in the near infrared (near-IR) range by using only a small amount of DPP4T-Cz (3.4 wt%) into the P3HT:PCBM binary blend polymer solar cells. Interestingly, the photocurrent generation was also enhanced in the visible range by the long-range energy transfer from P3HT to DPP4T-Cz molecules. As a result, the short-circuit current density (JSC) and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of P3HT:PCBM:DPP4T-Cz ternary blend devices were enhanced by more than 30% compared to those of P3HT:PCBM binary control devices. These findings suggest that quadrupole DPP-based molecules are one of the effective light-harvesting materials for ternary blend polymer solar cells.

- Thiophene-fused carbazole derivative dyes for high-performance dye-sensitized solar cells
-
Two novel dyes that are similar in chemical structure, except for different donor units, AJ301and AJ303 were synthesized, characterized and applied as sensitizers in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). Both dyes exhibited a wide absorption of visible sunlight. The introduction of fused rings on the donor unit of AJ303 presented an appropriate energy level, less recombination and longer electron lifetime to achieve a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.2%, far above that achieved for AJ301 of 6.2% with a [Co(bpy)3]2+/3+-based electrolyte under standard AM1.5G solar irradiation (100 mW cm?2). The DSSCs based on AJ303 and AJ301 with [Cu(tmby)2]2+/+-based electrolyte showed a lower PCE of 8.2% and 5.4%, respectively. Therefore, the results indicated that the introduction of a fused-ring in the donor group is a meaningful synthetic strategy to improve the photovoltaic performance.

- ORGANIC COMPOUND, LIGHT EMITTING DIODE AND LIGHT EMITTING DEVICE HAVING THE COMPOUND
-
The present disclosure relates to an organic compound having a binaphthyl core and a group connected to the biphenyl core and having excellent charge mobility property, and a light emitting diode and a light emitting device having the organic compound. The organic compound can be applied into the light emitting diode by using solution process and has very deep HOMO energy level. When the organic compound is applied into a chare transfer layer, a HOMO energy level bandgap between the charge transfer layer and an emitting material layer is reduced so that holes and electrons can be injected into the emitting material layer in a balanced manner.

- Tuning the intramolecular charge transfer emission from deep blue to green in ambipolar systems based on dibenzothiophene S, S -dioxide by manipulation of conjugation and strength of the electron donor units
-
The efficient synthesis and photophysical properties of a series of ambipolar donor-acceptor-donor systems is described where the acceptor is dibenzothiophene S,S-dioxide and the donor is fluorene, carbazole, or arylamine. The systems exhibit intramolecular charge transfer (ICT) states (of variable ICT character strengths) leading to fluorescence emission ranging from deep blue to green with moderate to high photoluminescence quantum yields. The emission properties can be effectively tuned by systematically changing the position of substitution on both donor and acceptor units (which affects the extent of conjugation) and the redox potentials of the donor units. The results are supported by cyclic voltammetric data and TD-DFT calculations.
