Solution-processed bulk heterojunction solar cells based on a porphyrin small molecule with 7% power conversion efficiency†
Abstract
A porphyrin small molecule with less bulky substituents at the porphyrin periphery has been synthesized as a donor material, which exhibits a power conversion efficiency of up to 7.23% under AM 1.5 G irradiation (100 mW cm−2) for the solution-processed bulk heterojunction solar cells with PC61BM as the acceptor material.
