Abstract
Recently,the rapid development of non-fullerene acceptors(NFAs)has laid the foundation for performance improvements in near-infrared(NIR)organic photodetectors(OPDs).However,reducing the bandgap of NFAs to achieve strong absorption in the shorter-wave region usually leads to increased dark current density(Jd)and decreased responsivity(R),severely limiting the detectivity(D*)of NIR-OPDs.To date,it remains challenging to manipulate the Jd of NIR-OPDs through rational structure engineering of NFAs.Herein,three NIR-NFAs,namely bis(2-decyltetradecyl)4,4'-(2',7'-di-tert-butylspiro[cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene-4,9'-fluorene]-2,6-diyl)bis(6-(((Z)-1-(dicyanomethylene)-5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-inden-2-ylidene)methyl)thieno[3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate)(TSIC-4F),bis(2-decyltetradecyl)6,6'-(2',7'-di-tert-butylspiro[cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene-4,9'-fluorene]-2,6-diyl)bis(4-(((Z)-1-(dicyanomethylene)-5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-1,3-d ihydro-2H-inden-2-ylidene)methyl)thieno[3,4-b]thiophene-2-carboxylate)(STIC-4F),and 2,2'-((2Z,2'Z)-(((2',7'-di-tert-butylspiro[cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene-4,9'-fluorene]-2,6-diyl)bis(2,3-bis(5-(2-butyloctyl)thiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine-7,5-diyl))bis(metha-neylylidene))bis(5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-lH-indene-2,1-diylidene))dimalononitrile(TPIC-4F),were designed using the thieno[3,4-b]thiophene(TT)and thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine(TPy)derivatives as the it-bridge.Owing to the intramolecular S-S and S-N interactions,STIC-4F and TPIC-4F exhibited smaller backbone distortions than下SIC-4F.A significantly red-shifted absorption with a peak at 1015 nm was observed in TPIC-4F film,larger than that(ca.960 nm)for TSIC-4F and STIC-4F films.Moreover,OPDs operating in a photovoltaic mode were successfully fabricated,and TPIC-4F-based OPDs achieved the lowest Jd of 3.18×10-8 A/cm2 at-0.1 V.Impressively,although TPIC-4F-based OPDs exhibited the lowest R,higher shot-noise-limited specific detectivity(Dsh*)in 1000-1200 nm could be achieved due to its lowest Jd.This study underscored the effectiveness of optimizing the 7T-bridge structure of NFAs to suppress Jd,ultimately attaining higher Dsh* in the NIR region.
