We investigate and compare the loss mechanisms of low-bandgap OSCs based on the blend of the donor polymer PTB7-Th with two different NFAs BTPV-4F-eC9 and BTPV-4Cl-eC9, with a bandgap of 1.24 eV and 1.26 eV, respectively. Both NFAs exhibit the same conjugated core, except that in BTPV-4Cl-eC9, the four terminal fluorine atoms are replaced by four chlorines.
To understand how the change of the terminal groups is affecting the device performance, we investigate the various recombination processes of the two systems. The results show that the PTB7-Th:BTPV-4Cl-eC9 blend suffers from stronger bimolecular recombination and geminate recombination. In addition, EMPL reveals a significant voltage loss in both blends. Temperature-dependent SCLC measurements show a rather low electron mobility in PTB7-Th:BTPV-4Cl-eC9 system, which we relate to a larger disorder of the LUMO.
