Description

電子供給性有機材料、使用其之光伏元件用材料及光伏元件 Electronically supplied organic material, material for photovoltaic element using the same, and photovoltaic element

本發明係關於一種電子供給性有機材料、使用其之光伏元件用材料及使用其之光伏元件。 The present invention relates to an electron-donating organic material, a material for a photovoltaic element using the same, and a photovoltaic element using the same.

太陽能電池係作為對環境具優越之電能源,對於現在日益嚴重之能量問題而言,作為有力之解決對策正備受矚目。目前將單晶矽、多晶矽、非晶質矽、化合物半導體等之無機物作為太陽能電池之光伏元件的半導體材料使用。但是,由於使用無機半導體所製得的太陽能電池成本高,尚未廣泛普及至一般家庭。作為成本高的主因係在於真空且高溫下製造半導體薄膜之程序。因此,作為製程簡化所期待的半導體材料,已有人探討使用共軛系聚合物或有機結晶等之有機半導體或有機色素的有機太陽能電池。 As a powerful electric energy source for the environment, the solar cell system is attracting attention as a powerful solution to the increasingly serious energy problem. Inorganic materials such as single crystal germanium, polycrystalline germanium, amorphous germanium, and compound semiconductor are currently used as semiconductor materials for photovoltaic elements of solar cells. However, since solar cells made using inorganic semiconductors have high cost, they have not been widely spread to ordinary households. The main reason for the high cost is the process of manufacturing a semiconductor film under vacuum and at a high temperature. Therefore, an organic solar cell using an organic semiconductor or an organic dye such as a conjugated polymer or an organic crystal has been studied as a semiconductor material which is expected to be simplified in the process.

但是,與使用習知無機半導體之太陽能電池作一比較,使用共軛系聚合物等之有機太陽能電池的光電轉換效率低係最大的課題,尚未達到實用化。使用習 知之共軛系聚合物的有機太陽能電池之光電轉換效率低,其主要係因如下之原因所造成:陽光之吸收效率低;形成了因陽光所生成的電子與電洞難以分離的所謂激子(exciton)之束縛狀態;由於容易形成捕獲載體(電子、電洞)之阱,故所生成的載體容易被阱所捕獲,載體之移動度低等。 However, compared with the solar cell using a conventional inorganic semiconductor, the organic solar cell using a conjugated polymer or the like has a problem that the photoelectric conversion efficiency is the largest, and has not yet been put into practical use. Use The organic solar cell of the conjugated polymer has low photoelectric conversion efficiency, which is mainly caused by the following reasons: the absorption efficiency of sunlight is low; the so-called excitons which are difficult to separate electrons and holes generated by sunlight are formed ( The constrained state of exciton); since the trap of the trapping carrier (electrons, holes) is easily formed, the generated carrier is easily trapped by the trap, and the mobility of the carrier is low.

藉由迄今之有機半導體所得之光電轉換元件能夠被分類成使電子供給性有機材料(p型有機半導體)與功函數小的金屬接合的肖特基(Schottky)型、使電子接受性有機材料(n型有機半導體)與電子供給性有機材料(p型有機半導體)接合的異接合型等。由於該等元件係僅接合部之有機層(數分子層程度)有助於光電流生成,故光電轉換效率低,使其提高已成為課題。 The photoelectric conversion element obtained by the organic semiconductor of the prior art can be classified into a Schottky type in which an electron-donating organic material (p-type organic semiconductor) is bonded to a metal having a small work function, and an electron-accepting organic material ( An n-type organic semiconductor) is a heterojunction type bonded to an electron-donating organic material (p-type organic semiconductor). Since these elements are only the organic layer (the degree of the molecular layer) of the joint portion contribute to the generation of the photocurrent, the photoelectric conversion efficiency is low, and the improvement thereof has become a problem.

作為光電轉換效率提高之一種方法,可列舉:混合電子接受性有機材料(n型有機半導體)與電子供給性有機材料(p型有機半導體),使有助於光電轉換之接合面增加的體積異接合型(例如,參閱非專利文獻1)。其中,有人提案一種光電轉換材料,其係將共軛系聚合物作為電子供給性有機材料(p型有機半導體)使用,除了將具有n型半導體特性之導電性高分子作為電子接受性有機材料使用之外,也使用C60等之富勒烯或富勒烯衍生物的光電轉換材料(例如,參閱非專利文獻2)。 As a method for improving the photoelectric conversion efficiency, a mixed electron-accepting organic material (n-type organic semiconductor) and an electron-donating organic material (p-type organic semiconductor) can be used to increase the volume difference of the bonding surface which contributes to photoelectric conversion. A joint type (for example, see Non-Patent Document 1). Among them, a photoelectric conversion material has been proposed which uses a conjugated polymer as an electron-donating organic material (p-type organic semiconductor), except that a conductive polymer having an n-type semiconductor property is used as an electron-accepting organic material. In addition, a photoelectric conversion material of a fullerene or a fullerene derivative such as C 60 is also used (for example, see Non-Patent Document 2).

為了有效地吸收遍及陽光光譜廣範圍之放射能量而使光電轉換效率提高,有人提案一種電子供給性有機材料,其係藉由將電子供給性基與電子吸引性基導 入主鏈骨架而窄化能帶間隙(例如,參閱非專利文獻3、4)。也有人提案一種能帶間隙窄的電子供給性有機材料,其係將具有醯亞胺基之噻吩吡咯-4,6-二酮(Thienopyrrole-4,6-dione)骨架或噻吩異吲哚-5,7-二酮(Thienoisoindole-5,7-dione)骨架作為該電子吸引性基,組合寡噻吩骨架或環戊二噻吩骨架、苯并二噻吩骨架作為電子供給性基(例如,參閱專利文獻1、非專利文獻4至16)。 In order to effectively absorb the radiation energy over a wide range of sunlight spectra and improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency, an electron-donating organic material has been proposed, which is based on electron-donating groups and electron-attracting substrates. The band skeleton is narrowed into the main chain skeleton (for example, see Non-Patent Documents 3 and 4). It has also been proposed to provide an electron-donating organic material with a narrow gap, which is a Thienopyrrole-4,6-dione skeleton or a thiopheneisoindole-5 having a quinone imine group. As the electron-attracting group, a Thienoisoindole-5 (7-dione) skeleton is combined with an oligothiophene skeleton, a cyclopentadithiophene skeleton, and a benzodithiophene skeleton as an electron-donating group (for example, see Patent Document 1) Non-patent documents 4 to 16).

於組合作為上述電子吸引性基之噻吩吡咯二酮骨架、作為電子供給性基之寡噻吩骨架或環戊二噻吩骨架、苯并二噻吩骨架而成之能帶間隙窄的電子供給性有機材料(例如,專利文獻1、非專利文獻5至15)中,缺乏對於成為必要塗布發電層的有機溶劑之溶解性,為了使該溶解性提高,將烷基側鏈導入噻吩吡咯二酮骨架之氮上。然而,認為導入無載體輸送能力之過多的烷基將會使電子供給性有機材料之載體移動度降低。 An electron-donating organic material having a narrow band gap formed by combining a thiophenyrroledione skeleton as the electron-attracting group, an oligothiophene skeleton or a cyclopentadithiophene skeleton or an benzodithiophene skeleton as an electron-donating group ( For example, in Patent Document 1 and Non-Patent Documents 5 to 15), the solubility in an organic solvent which is required to coat a power generation layer is lacking, and in order to improve the solubility, an alkyl side chain is introduced into the nitrogen of the thiophenyrroledione skeleton. . However, it is believed that the introduction of an excess of alkyl groups without carrier transport will result in reduced carrier mobility of the electron-donating organic material.

將丁基、己基、辛基、十二烷基等之直鏈結構(專利文獻1、非專利文獻5至13)或2-乙基己基、3,7-二甲基己基、2-丁基辛基等之分枝鏈結構(專利文獻1、非專利文獻6、8至10、14)被作為氮上之烷基使用。還有,丁基等之較短的烷基,由於無法確保對於有機溶劑之充分溶解性,也降低與富勒烯所代表的電子接受性材料之相溶性,未能獲得足夠的光電轉換效率(非專利文獻9)。 A linear structure of butyl, hexyl, octyl, dodecyl or the like (Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Documents 5 to 13) or 2-ethylhexyl, 3,7-dimethylhexyl, 2-butyl A branched chain structure of octyl or the like (Patent Document 1, Non-Patent Documents 6, 8 to 10, and 14) is used as an alkyl group on nitrogen. Further, a shorter alkyl group such as a butyl group cannot reduce the compatibility with an electron accepting material represented by fullerene because of insufficient solubility in an organic solvent, and sufficient photoelectric conversion efficiency cannot be obtained ( Non-patent document 9).

還有,將習知烷基導入噻吩吡咯二酮骨架之能帶間隙窄的電子供給性有機材料,使得最高佔據分子軌域(HOMO)準位變淺,太陽能電池特性之釋放電壓將會降低。 Further, an electron-donating organic material having a narrow band gap of a conventional alkyl group introduced into a thiophene pyrrolidone skeleton causes a maximum occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) level to be shallow, and a solar cell characteristic release voltage is lowered.

亦即,使用將習知烷基側鏈導入氮上之具有噻吩吡咯二酮骨架之電子供給性有機材料而成的光伏元件,對於有機溶劑之溶解性、高載體移動度及深HOMO化中任一項皆為不夠充分,僅可獲得低的光電轉換效率。本發明係以提供光電轉換效率高的光伏元件作為目的,並提供全部符合對於有機溶劑之溶解性、高載體移動度及深HOMO化之電子供給性有機材料。 That is, a photovoltaic element obtained by introducing a conventional alkyl side chain into an electron-donating organic material having a thiophenyrroledione skeleton on a nitrogen, is suitable for solubility in an organic solvent, high carrier mobility, and deep HOMO. One is not enough, only low photoelectric conversion efficiency can be obtained. The present invention has an object of providing a photovoltaic element having high photoelectric conversion efficiency, and provides an electron supply organic material which all conforms to solubility in an organic solvent, high carrier mobility, and deep HOMO.

針對噻吩吡咯二酮骨架上之取代基而探討各式各樣結構的結果,發現為了符合對有機溶劑之溶解性、高載體移動度及深HOMO化中任一項,若將芳基或雜芳基導入氮上的話為佳。 The results of various structures were investigated for the substituents on the thiophene pyrrolidone skeleton, and it was found that in order to satisfy the solubility in organic solvents, high carrier mobility, and deep HOMO, if aryl or heteroaryl It is preferred that the base is introduced into the nitrogen.

[實施發明之形態] [Formation of the Invention]

本發明之電子供給性有機材料係含有通式(1)所表示的結構單元: The electron-donating organic material of the present invention contains the structural unit represented by the general formula (1):

(該通式(1)中,R1係表示可被取代的芳基或可被取代的雜芳基)。 (In the formula (1), R 1 represents an aryl group which may be substituted or a heteroaryl group which may be substituted).

藉由在該噻吩吡咯二酮骨架的氮上所導入的芳基或雜芳基,被認為能夠使共軛聚合物之平面性部分崩壞,且使相對於有機溶劑之溶解性與高的載體移動度能夠並存。於此,所謂使共軛聚合物之平面性部分崩壞,係意指由於共軛聚合物之主鏈骨架與噻吩吡咯二酮骨架之氮上所導入的芳基或雜芳基之間的扭曲,保持主鏈骨架之π共軛平面之狀態下,在共軛聚合物全體之平面性將會稍微降低。還有,藉由使電子吸引性基配置於氮上之芳基或雜芳基上,被認為能夠加強共軛聚合物之HOMO準位(也有使其深HOMO化之情形)。 By the aryl or heteroaryl group introduced on the nitrogen of the thiophene pyrrolidone skeleton, it is considered that the planar portion of the conjugated polymer is collapsed, and the solubility with respect to the organic solvent is high and the carrier is high. Mobility can coexist. Here, the fact that the planar portion of the conjugated polymer is collapsed means that the distortion between the main chain skeleton of the conjugated polymer and the aryl or heteroaryl group introduced on the nitrogen of the thiophenyrroledione skeleton is caused. In the state in which the π conjugate plane of the main chain skeleton is maintained, the planarity of the entire conjugated polymer is slightly lowered. Further, by disposing the electron attracting group on the aryl or heteroaryl group on the nitrogen, it is considered that the HOMO level of the conjugated polymer can be enhanced (there is also a case where the HOMO is deepened).

於此,所謂芳基,例如表示苯基、萘基、聯苯基、菲基、蒽基、聯三苯基、芘基、茀基、苝基等之芳香族烴基。為了保持電子供給性有機材料之高的載體移動度,分子尺寸小的苯基特別適用。 Here, the aryl group means, for example, an aromatic hydrocarbon group such as a phenyl group, a naphthyl group, a biphenyl group, a phenanthrenyl group, an anthracenyl group, a terphenyl group, a fluorenyl group, a fluorenyl group or a fluorenyl group. In order to maintain high carrier mobility of the electron-donating organic material, a phenyl group having a small molecular size is particularly suitable.

又,所謂雜芳基,例如表示噻吩基、呋喃基、吡咯基、咪唑基、吡唑基、唑基、吡啶基、吡唑基、嘧啶基、喹啉基、異喹啉基、喹啉基、吖啶基、吲哚 基、咔唑基、苯并呋喃基、二苯并呋喃基、苯并噻吩基、二苯并噻吩基、苯并二噻吩基、矽咯(silole group)、苯并矽咯、二苯并矽咯等之具有碳以外之原子的雜芳香族環基。為了保持載體移動度,雜芳基之碳數較佳為2以上8以下。於此,所謂雜芳基之碳數係設為表示芳香環中所含之碳數,作為取代基係設為即使含有非芳香族碳,也不含於雜芳基之碳數中。 Further, the heteroaryl group means, for example, a thienyl group, a furyl group, a pyrrolyl group, an imidazolyl group, a pyrazolyl group, Azyl, pyridyl, pyrazolyl, pyrimidinyl, quinolyl, isoquinolinyl, quin Alkyl, acridinyl, fluorenyl, oxazolyl, benzofuranyl, dibenzofuranyl, benzothienyl, dibenzothiophenyl, benzodithienyl, silole group, a heteroaromatic ring group having an atom other than carbon, such as benzofluorene or dibenzopyrrole. In order to maintain the degree of carrier mobility, the carbon number of the heteroaryl group is preferably 2 or more and 8 or less. Here, the carbon number of the heteroaryl group is a number of carbons contained in the aromatic ring, and the substituent is not contained in the carbon number of the heteroaryl group even if it contains a non-aromatic carbon.

芳基或雜芳基具有取代基之情形,作為芳基或雜芳基之取代基,可列舉:烷基(R1S1)或烷氧基(R1S2)、鹵素(R1S3)。還有,雖然鹵素並非基團,但於本發明中,將其當作基團之1種(以下,其他結構式上之取代基也設為相同)。又,將苯基作為芳基使用之情形,取代基之位置較佳為鄰位或間位,因為能夠在苯基與主鏈結構發生適度之扭曲,不會導入過多之烷基側鏈而能夠使共軛聚合物的溶解性提高。 Aryl or heteroaryl group having a substituent of the case, as the aryl group or heteroaryl group of the substituent include: an alkyl group (R 1S1) alkoxy or (R 1S2), halo (R 1S3). Further, although halogen is not a group, in the present invention, it is regarded as one type of a group (hereinafter, the substituents on the other structural formulas are also the same). Further, in the case where a phenyl group is used as an aryl group, the position of the substituent is preferably an ortho or meta position because it can be moderately distorted in the structure of the phenyl group and the main chain, and an excessive alkyl side chain can not be introduced. The solubility of the conjugated polymer is improved.

於此,所謂烷基(R1S1),例如為甲基、乙基、丙基、丁基、戊基、己基、庚基、辛基、壬基、癸基、十一烷基、十二烷基之飽和脂肪族烴,可為直鏈狀、分枝狀或環狀,不論未取代或已被取代皆可。作為被取代之情形的取代基例子,可列舉:烷氧基、鹵素。為了確保電子供給性有機材料充分的載體移動度,烷基(R1S1)之碳數較佳為6以下。於此,在烷基(R1S1)之碳數中,數目中不含在烷基之取代基上所含之碳。為了加強共軛聚合物之HOMO準位,作為烷基(R1S1)之取代基特別適合使用氟。 Here, the alkyl group (R 1S1 ) is, for example, methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, pentyl, hexyl, heptyl, octyl, decyl, decyl, undecyl, dodecane. The saturated aliphatic hydrocarbon may be linear, branched or cyclic, whether unsubstituted or substituted. Examples of the substituent which is substituted may be an alkoxy group or a halogen. In order to ensure sufficient carrier mobility of the electron-donating organic material, the carbon number of the alkyl group (R 1S1 ) is preferably 6 or less. Here, in the carbon number of the alkyl group (R 1S1 ), the carbon contained in the substituent of the alkyl group is not included in the number. In order to enhance the HOMO level of the conjugated polymer, fluorine is particularly suitable as a substituent for the alkyl group (R 1S1 ).

又,所謂烷氧基(R1S2),表示使例如甲氧基、乙氧基、丙氧基、丁氧基等之使醚鍵介於中間而鍵結脂肪族烴基之基,不論烷氧基(R1S2)之脂肪族烴基係未取代或具有取代基皆可。作為具有取代基之情形的取代基,可列舉:上述芳基或上述雜芳基、鹵素。烷氧基(R1S2)之較佳的碳數範圍係與上述烷基(R1S1)之情形相同,較佳為6以下。還有該情形下,烷氧基(R1S2)之碳數中,數目中不含在脂肪族羥基之取代基上所含之碳。 Further, the alkoxy group (R 1S2 ) means a group in which an aliphatic hydrocarbon group is bonded to an intermediate such as a methoxy group, an ethoxy group, a propoxy group or a butoxy group, regardless of the alkoxy group. The aliphatic hydrocarbon group of (R 1S2 ) may be unsubstituted or have a substituent. Examples of the substituent having a substituent include the above aryl group, the above heteroaryl group, and halogen. The preferred carbon number range of the alkoxy group (R 1S2 ) is the same as that of the above alkyl group (R 1S1 ), and is preferably 6 or less. Also in this case, the carbon number of the alkoxy group (R 1S2 ) does not contain the carbon contained in the substituent of the aliphatic hydroxyl group.

又,可適應於本發明之鹵素(R1S3)係氟、氯、溴、碘中任一種。於該等之中,氟係藉由作為芳基或雜芳基之取代基而導入,由於能夠加強電子供給性有機材料HOMO準位,而特別適合被使用。 Further, the halogen (R 1S3 ) which is suitable for the present invention is any one of fluorine, chlorine, bromine and iodine. Among these, fluorine is introduced as a substituent of an aryl group or a heteroaryl group, and is particularly suitable for use because it can enhance the HOMO level of the electron-donating organic material.

含有該通式(1)所表示的結構之電子供給性有機材料較佳為由通式(2)所表示的結構所構成者。 The electron-donating organic material containing the structure represented by the above formula (1) is preferably composed of the structure represented by the formula (2).

(該通式(2)中,X係表示能夠保持共軛結構之2價鍵結基。n係表示聚合度,其係表示2以上1,000以下之範圍)。 (In the general formula (2), X represents a divalent bond group capable of maintaining a conjugated structure. n represents a degree of polymerization, and represents a range of 2 or more and 1,000 or less).

藉由將n設為2以上1,000以下,由於能夠提高電子供給性有機材料之載體移動度,再者在上述體積異接 合薄膜中使有效之載體通道形成,故能夠提高光電轉換效率。從合成上之容易性,n較佳為小於100。聚合度能夠以重複單元之分子量(計算值)除重量平均分子量而求得。重量平均分子量能夠利用GPC(凝膠滲透層析儀)而測定,換算成聚苯乙烯之標準試料後求得。 By setting n to 2 or more and 1,000 or less, since the carrier mobility of the electron-donating organic material can be improved, the above-described volume is different. In the film, an effective carrier channel is formed, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency can be improved. From the ease of synthesis, n is preferably less than 100. The degree of polymerization can be determined by dividing the molecular weight (calculated value) of the repeating unit by the weight average molecular weight. The weight average molecular weight can be measured by GPC (gel permeation chromatography), and is obtained by converting into a standard sample of polystyrene.

又,該通式(2)中,X能夠保持共軛結構之2價鍵結基。於此,所謂能夠保持共軛結構之2價鍵結基係指其本身具有共軛結構且2處鍵結位置兩側的共軛結構使該鍵結基介於中間而可連續的鍵結基。作為如此之鍵結基X,可列舉:寡噻吩、苯并二噻吩、環戊二噻吩等之噻吩衍生物,其中,為了能夠窄化能帶間隙、且保持高的載體移動度,更佳使用下列通式(3)所表示的苯并二噻吩或環戊二噻吩。 Further, in the above formula (2), X can maintain a divalent bond group of a conjugated structure. Here, the divalent bonding group capable of maintaining the conjugated structure means that the conjugated structure itself has a conjugated structure on both sides of the bonding site, and the bonding group is intermediate and the continuous bonding group is . As such a bonding group X, a thiophene derivative such as oligothiophene, benzodithiophene or cyclopentadithiophene can be mentioned, and in order to narrow the band gap and maintain a high carrier mobility, it is more preferable to use The benzodithiophene or cyclopentadithiophene represented by the following general formula (3).

(通式(3)中,R2至R5可相同亦可不同,其係表示可被取代的烷基、烷氧基、芳基、或雜芳基)。 (In the formula (3), R 2 to R 5 may be the same or different and represent an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an aryl group or a heteroaryl group which may be substituted.

針對烷基、烷氧基、芳基、雜芳基,除了較佳的碳數範圍之外,則如上所述。為了保持共軛聚合物之載體移動度,特佳使用R2至R5為碳數12以下之烷基或烷氧基。 With respect to the alkyl group, alkoxy group, aryl group, heteroaryl group, as described above, in addition to the preferred carbon number range. In order to maintain the carrier mobility of the conjugated polymer, it is particularly preferable to use an alkyl group or an alkoxy group having R 2 to R 5 of 12 or less carbon atoms.
