In this study, we synthesized new small molecular acceptors with different hetero-halogenated terminals, and found that the difluoro-monochloro hetero-terminal can achieve a more compact molecular packing and better photovoltaic performance.
Herein, we synthesized new hetero-halogenated end groups with well-determined fluorinated and chlorinated substitutions (o-FCl-IC and FClF-IC), and synthesized regioisomer-free small molecular acceptors (SMAs) Y-Cl, Y-FCl, and Y-FClF with distinct hetero-halogenated terminals, respectively. The single-crystal structures and theoretical calculations indicate that Y-FClF exhibits more compact three-dimensional network packing and more significant pi-pi electronic coupling compared to Y-FCl. From Y-Cl to Y-FCl to Y-FClF, the neat films exhibit a narrower optical band gap and gradually enhanced electron mobility and crystallinity. The PM6 : Y-FClF blend film exhibits the strongest crystallinity with preferential face-on molecular packing, desirable fibrous morphology with suitable phase segregation, and the highest and balanced charge mobilities among three blend films. Overall, the PM6 : Y-FClF organic solar cells (OSCs) deliver a remarkable efficiency of 17.65 %, outperforming the PM6 : Y-FCl and PM6 : Y-Cl, which is the best PCE for reported hetero-halogens-based SMAs in binary OSCs. Our results demonstrate that difluoro-monochloro hetero-terminal is a superior regio-regular unit for enhancing the intermolecular crystal packing and photovoltaic performance of hetero-halogenated SMAs.
