EH-IDTBR (CAS number 2102510-60-9) is a small molecule with an indacenothiophene core capped with two benzothiadiazole-linked rhodanine groups. Same as o-IDTBR, EH-IDTBR also possesses an acceptor-acceptor–donor–acceptor-acceptor (A-A'–D–A'-A) structure and is widely used as a non-fullerene acceptor in organic/polymer solar cells. EH-IDTBR has a HOMO energy level at −5.6 eV and a LUMO at −3.9 eV, resulting in bandgap of 1.7 eV. EH-IDTBR is typically blended with the active material to create a bulk heterojunction as the active layer in solar cells. In a solar cell device of ITO/ZnO/EH-IDTBR/PffBT4T-2OD/MoO3/Ag, EH-IDTBR has demonstrated improved stability with negligible 'burn-in' efficiency loss compared to PffBT4T-2OD:PC71BM devices (PCE losses after 60 h of 0 ± 4% and −26± 8%, respectively).
With addition of EH-IDTBR (18%) as the third component to the active layer of PCE10:F8IC, the PCE is increased from 7.2% to 12.3%. This increase can be attributed to the reduced energetic disorder in hole and electron transport facilitated by EH-IDTBR.
