Ten
subphthalocyanine triimides (SubPcTI) with different substituents
at imide sites and B atoms were designed and synthesized. These compounds
with low-lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels (from
−3.91 to −3.98 eV), strong absorption in the range of
450–650 nm, and adjustable solubility are expected to be excellent
electron acceptors. Non-fullerene bulk heterojunction organic solar
cells based on acceptor 8c showed power conversion efficiency
of 4.92%, which is the highest value among subphthalocyanine derivatives.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
