Efficient Squaraine-Based Solution Processable Bulk-Heterojunction Solar Cells
摘要:
We report the fabrication of organic bulk-heterojunction solar cells based, for the first time, on squaraine/PCBM Wends. The most efficient device, solution-processed in air, exhibits J(sc) = 5.70 mA/cm(2), V-oc = 0.62 V, fill-factor = 0.35, and power conversion efficiency = 1.24%, one of the highest to date for a small molecule solution-processed bulk-heterojunction cell.
摘要通过(E)-1-十二烷基-2-二茂铁基乙烯基-1H-吡咯和方酸合成了一种新型的二茂铁修饰的方酸染料(SQ)。通过1 H NMR,13 C NMR,MS和元素分析对SQ的分子结构进行了表征。SQ在普通溶剂中高度可溶。在不同溶剂中SQ的最大吸收在708-734 nm范围内,随着溶剂极性的增加,表现出正溶剂溶变色。SQ的光学和电学性质表明,它是用于体-异质结有机太阳能电池的有前途的电子供体材料。

Several bispyrroles which are bridged through conjugated aromatic moieties were synthesized by the Wittig-Horner-Emmons reaction. Photophysical and electrochemical data of these highly fluorescent monomers reveal that they are useful building blocks for the design of a wide variety of novel pi-conjugated polymers, which may find application as potential optoelectronic materials.

A Ratiometric Fluorescence Probe for Selective Visual Sensing of Zn<sup>2+</sup>
A simple ratiometric fluorescence probe based on vinylpyrrole end-capped bipyridine for the visual sensing of Zn2+ under aqueous physiological pH (6.8-7.4) is described. The fluorophores 3a-c showed strong emission around 537 nm in acetonitrile with a quantum yield of 0.4. In buffered (HEPES, pH 7.2) acetonitrile-water mixture (9:1 v/v), titration of transition metal salts to 3c showed strong quenching of the emission at 547 nm except in the case of Zn2+, which resulted in a red-shifted emission at 637 nm. Alkali and alkaline earth metal salts could not induce any considerable changes to the emission behavior of 3a-c. The binding of Zn2+ was highly selective in the presence of a variety of other metal ions. Though Cu2+ quenches the emission of 3c, in the presence of Zn2+, a red emission prevails, indicating the preference of 3c toward Zn2+. Job plot and Benesi-Hildebrand analysis revealed a 1:1 complexation between the probe and the metal ion. The selective visual sensing of Zn2+ with a red emission is ideally suited for the imaging of biological specimens.

[GRAPHICS]Polycondensation of 2,5-dialkoxydivinylbenzene-bridged bispyrroles and squaric acid resulted in extensively conjugated polymers with strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption around 800-1000 nm, which is a signature of their low band gap (E-g). Conjugated polymers with such a strong NIR absorption are rare. One of the synthesized polysquaraines showed a significantly low E-g of 0.79 eV with an intrinsic conductivity of 5.3 X 10(-4) S/cm.
