Two different processes, namely the Bamford–Stevens and [4 + 2] Diels Alder reactions, have been optimized under microwave irradiation for the functionalization of fullerenes. In this manner, all the main C60- and C70-based acceptor derivatives for organic solar cells such as PCBM, DPM, BHN and ICBA, have been prepared in higher yields and shorter reaction times with respect to the reported data. These findings represent a step forward toward the wide production of cheaper organic solar cells as a consequence of the cost abatement of the acceptors given by higher yields, lower waste production, and reduced reaction time which means a strong energy saving.
在微波辐照下优化了富勒烯功能化的两种不同过程,即 Bamford-Stevens 反应和 [4 + 2] Diels Alder 反应。通过这种方式,制备出了用于有机太阳能电池的所有基于 C60 和 C70 的主要受体衍生物,如 PCBM、DPM、BHN 和 ICBA,与报告数据相比,产率更高、反应时间更短。这些发现标志着向广泛生产更廉价的有机太阳能电池迈进了一步,因为更高的产量、更低的废物产生量和更短的反应时间降低了受体的成本,这意味着极大地节约了能源。
