Azomethine naphthalene diimides as component of active layers in bulk heterojunction solar cells

New Acceptor–Donor–Acceptor Systems Based on Bis-(Imino-1,8-Naphthalimide)

“…Asymmetrical 1,8-naphthalimides structures, constructed from a single imide ring, are often tested as compounds substituted in the 4-C position for organic electronics [ 1 , 39 , 40 ]. In the papers [ 8 , 9 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ] the thermal, optical, and electrochemical properties of azomethinediimides, as potential candidates for optoelectronic were presented. To the best of our knowledge, only few papers present naphthalimide derivatives with imine bond substituted in the 4-C or 3-C position investigated towards applications in organic electronics [ 1 , 45 , 46 ].…”

New Triphenylamine-Based Oligomeric Schiff Bases Containing Tetraphenylsilane Moieties in the Backbone

“…Whole aromatic polySBs have interesting properties such as high thermal stability, mechanical strength and semiconducting properties [ 12 , 13 ]. These kinds of polymers are becoming excellent candidates as active materials for PSCs, PLEDs and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), photovoltaic cells and pH sensors, due to their electrochromic properties, among other applications [ 6 , 12 , 14 ].…”

A comprehensive optical and electrical study of unsymmetrical imine with four thiophene rings and their binary and ternary compositions with PTB7 and PC70BM towards organic photovoltaics

“…37 For this reason, azomethine naphthalene diimides were used as the components of binary (P3HT:imine) and ternary (P3HT:PCBM:imine) active layers in bulk heterojunction solar cells. 38 The efficiency of the solar cell with a binary active layer was rather low (0.46%) in comparison with that of the reference device based on P3HT:PCBM (PCE ¼ 3.88%), while the PCE of the cell with a ternary active layer was in the range of 0.24-5.50%, depending on the chemical structure of the imine used.…”
