摘 要：Cathode interlayer(CIL) materials play an important role in improving the power conversion efficiency(PCE) of organic photovoltaic(OPV) cells. However, the current understanding of the structure-property relationship in CIL materials is limited, and systematic studies in this regard are scarce. Here, two new CIL materials, NDI-PhC 4 and NDI-PhC 6 were synthesized by varying the alkylamine chain length on the NDI-Ph core. Our investigation reveals a systematic variation in the physical and chemical properties of these materials with increasing alkylamine chain length. Specifically, we observe a sequential decrease in melting point and self-doping effect, accompanied by an enhancement in crystallinity. Among these CIL materials, NDI-PhC 4 has a notable balance across various performance metrics. It also exhibits excellent surface modification capabilities, leading to a low surface roughness. Consequently, OPV cells based on NDI-PhC 4 achieve a PCE of 20.2%, which is one of the highest reported efficiencies for OPV cells. In addition, the appropriate melting point of NDI-PhC 4 contributes to the excellent stability of OPV cells.
