Small conjugated molecules (SM) are gaining momentum as an alternative to semiconducting polymers for the production of solution-processed bulk heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. The major issue with SM-BHJs is the low carrier mobility due to the scarce control on the phase-segregation process and consequent lack of preferential percolative pathways for electrons and holes to the extraction electrodes. Here, a new paradigm for fine tuning the phase-segregation in SM-BHJs, based on the post-deposition exploitation of latent hydrogen bonding in binary mixtures of PCBM with suitably functionalized electron donor molecules, is demonstrated. The strategy consist in the chemical protection of the H-bond forming sites of the donor species with a thermo-labile functionality whose controlled thermal cleavage leads to the formation of stable, crystalline, phase-separated molecular aggregates. This approach allows the fine tuning of the nanoscale film connectivity and thereby to simultaneously optimize the generation of geminate carriers at the donor-acceptor interfaces and the extraction of free charges via ordered phase-separated domains. As a result, the PV efficiency undergoes an over twenty-fold increase with respect to control devices. This strategy, demonstrated here with mixtures of diketopyrrolopyrrole derivatives with PCBM can be extended to other molecular systems for achieving highly efficient SM-BHJ solar cells.

We have prepared three pigments and six soluble dyes with thermal stability derived from diketo-pyrrolo-pyrrole (DPP) pigment by N-alkylation and dimerization. Synthesized dyes and pigments were measured by an absorption maximum (λmax) and thermal stability using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) respectively, comparing with C.I. Pigment Red 254. These dyes exhibited superior solubility to the organic solvents by introducing the linking group (n-octyl). DPP pigments have inferior thermal and solvent stability, which has so far inhibited their commercial adoption in color filter fabrication. The thermal stability of the N-alkylated dyes can be highly contributed by both the carbon number and their shapes of N-alkyl group in DPP ring.

The process yields pigmentary 1,4-diketopyrrolo-[3,4-c]pyrroles directly, i.e., without the need for additional particle-size reducing aftertreatments. Also disclosed is a composition comprising a pigmentary 1,4-diketopyrrolo-[3,4-c]pyrrole and the particle growth inhibitor. These pigment compositions are useful for pigmenting high molecular weight organic materials.
