On Friday morning, Xu Qiu entered the simulation laboratory II to check the photoelectric performance data of the IDT-ICIN system.
After seeing the result, Xu Qiu was a little hard, not right, but slightly surprised.
The highest efficiency is 5.48%!
The IDT-IN system last time was only 2.87%, and this time it almost doubled.
The key point is that the current world record for photoelectric conversion efficiency of the A-D-A type non-fullerene system is only about 6%.
Of course, this is related to the emergence of the field of A-D-A. It has only a few years of research history, unlike the PDI system and fullerene derivative system, which have been studied for more than ten or twenty years.
After being surprised, Xu Qiu found a rather embarrassing problem.
For this new system of senpai, the efficiency range is within 4%-7%, and the upper limit of articles that can be published is actually fixed, and it is basically stuck in the top journals of chemistry and materials.
It is nothing more than the higher the efficiency, the higher the probability that the article will be accepted. If it can break through 6% of the existing record, it is equivalent to a stable AM, and cannot break the record. For example, it has an efficiency of about 5%. The article is well written and posted. The probability of AM is also 80 to 90%.
But if you want to go further and publish the sub-journals of "Nature" and "Science", you must compete with other non-fullerene systems, that is, PK with Xu Qiu's PDI system, to reach more than 8%... Now it is over 8.4%.
Of course, these are articles aimed at mainstream sprint efficiency, and there are also alternative ways, such as hanging a big boss's name...
Anyway, with this result, the senior sister's AM should be safe, unless someone else preemptively reported an A-D-A receptor material based on ICIN, that can only be said to have no destiny.
After helping Senior Sister analyze for some time, Xu Qiu picked up the bottle containing IDT-ICIN and looked at it. It was different from the dark red 3D-PDI material he synthesized. Senior Sister’s material was a dark brown powder, brown. Very light, more black, somewhat similar to the color of fullerene derivative PCBM.
Xu Qiu dropped the bottle casually, and the glass bottle entered the inside of the box through the glass of the glove box, and then he began to check the detailed experimental data.
IDT-ICIN non-fullerene acceptor material, the best matching donor is wide band gap FTAZ, and the next best matching donor is PCE10.
This is not unexpected, and it is consistent with the result of the last IDT-IN system.
However, the results of the two times are still different. This time the highest efficiency based on PCE10 is only 3.94%, which is a big gap compared with the former's 5.48%.
Xu Qiu thought to himself that at this time, if there are other wide bandgap donor materials, or if many systems are tried, the efficiency can be even higher, perhaps directly breaking 6%.
Unfortunately, for the time being, there is only one type of FTAZ, and it seems that the types of polymer donor materials will need to be enriched in the future.
But for this kind of thing, relying on his own strength is definitely not enough. It is necessary to mobilize scientific researchers in the entire field to work together.
It is not difficult to operate in detail. It only needs to develop a kind of star material. High-end articles are hung there, and naturally some people will hear the wind.
The academic circle is very pure, if you can let me post an article, I will follow you (in the direction).
If the school sister’s IDT-ICIN material publishes high-end articles such as AM, naturally many researchers will develop supporting wide band gap polymer donor materials based on the school sister’s IDT-ICIN material and prepare similar structures. The ADA non-fullerene receptor molecule.
Just like the AM published by Xu Qiu before, after reporting a new type of donor material PCE11, many people followed suit.
Even the optoelectronic materials company in Shenzhen City has kept pace with the times, synthesized PCE11 for sale, and sold it to him.
Moreover, Xu Qiu searched the title of his AM article on the Gugou academic mirror some time ago, and found that the number of real-time citations of the article has reached 16 times.
It is necessary to know that the impact factor of AM is no more than 20, while the journal impact factor is usually calculated as the average number of citations of articles published within two years.
And Xu Qiu's article has just published page numbers, and it has only been published for half a year.
According to the current development situation, the number of citations of his article will definitely exceed the impact factor of AM journals.
was selected as the cover article before, and it is estimated that to a large extent, it is also because this article has attracted many researchers in recent days.
Teacher Wei has received four review articles about the PCE11 system.
The first article was from Yan Hu's research team, who had collided with Xu Qiu before. They submitted JACS. Because the work content was basically the same as his AM, Xu Qiu directly rejected the article.
The second is the review of JMCA. They mainly synthesized a new type of ADA-type non-fullerene acceptor with Rao Danning system, using Xu Qiu’s PCE11 molecule as the reference donor material. The efficiency is quite satisfactory, about 4%, Xu Qiu They were given a suggestion for a small change, and their article was successfully published later.
There are two other articles that were reviewed by SCI's three-zone and four-zone small journals, but Mr. Wei directly rejected them.
It was not that he rejected the article, but declined the editor's request for review. Wei Xingsi did not accept all the reviewers of any journal, and only the reviewers of the journals he would be interested in.
This can be regarded as the unspoken rule of the industry. As a scientific researcher, if you help the editor to review more manuscripts, you can get familiar with the editor. When you submit the manuscript next time, unless the quality of the article is too bad, the editor High probability will also give you a chance to send your manuscript for review, so that it will not be rejected directly.
This is a world full of PY, foreigners are not so rigid, and to a certain extent they are also human.
In addition to the four that Mr. Wei encountered when reviewing the manuscript, there are many other "fish that miss the net" of other reviewers.
Excluding SCI articles in the third and fourth districts, just published in the first and second district journals, there are a total of 11 related articles downloaded by Teacher Wei.
Five articles are the research team's own, of which Xu Qiu has two articles on the original PB4T material and the side chain regulation of PCE11, and two articles on the system and one on the school sister are the crystallinity research of the PCE11 system.
Among the remaining six papers in other research groups, one is based on PCE11 with a ternary blend system, which is similar to the old school sisters used to work in;
There is an article that made some fine-tuning on the basis of the molecular structure of PCE11, and synthesized a semi-new structure, similar to that of a school girl;
There are two more articles in the introduction, when mentioning the recent progress in the field of organic photovoltaics, the literature is inserted. PCE11 materials are not used in the main text;
—
As for the last two articles, they are from Yan Hu's group.
I don’t know how Yan Hu felt when he wrote the article. He could be happily able to take the lead, waiting for others to cite his own article, but because he was one step late, he had to cite someone else’s, and JACS was not there yet.
As the saying goes, if you fall behind, you will be beaten. In academic circles, if you fall behind, you will quote other people's articles.
……
Xu Qiu carefully studied the data in the simulation laboratory, and found another phenomenon, but it was not based on the school sister's system, but about the simulation laboratory itself:
As other device preparation processes become more and more adept, now simulation experimenters are becoming more intelligent.
In other words, the preliminary exploration results given by the simulation experiment system are getting closer and closer to the real photoelectric properties of the material.
However, there are gains and losses, because the exploration conditions have increased and the time consumed has also increased. Just like this initial exploration, it took about seven hours. Usually, a single system only takes four to six hours. More refined exploration experiments, the time will be further extended.
Fortunately, there are some results that can be used repeatedly, such as the thickness of molybdenum trioxide and the processing conditions of the zinc oxide layer. These optimizations on the device transmission layer are common to most systems.
Generally speaking, Xu Qiu is constantly improving, and his progress in any form will be simultaneously fed back to the simulation laboratory.
Xu Qiu can't help but think that one day in the future, his experimental skills will reach the limit, and the donor library in the system will become complete.
Once the newly synthesized organic photovoltaic materials are sent to the system, within a day, the best device processing conditions and device performance can be directly obtained.
If the simulation experimenter can also automatically process data, make graphs, write articles, cite references, submit articles...
People sit at home and articles come from the sky.
, I seem to be thinking about peaches.
Xu Qiu waved away the unrealistic fantasy in his mind and quit the simulation laboratory.
Then, he bounced from the bed, washed briefly, and had an early exercise and breakfast with the school girl, and then sent the school girl to the school bus, while strolling to Caiyi by himself.
When he arrived at Caiyi 216~EbookFREE.me~ the time was about 9:20. At this time, many people had arrived in the office.
Xu Qiu looked around, Tian Qing was operating the ORIGIN software, apparently processing data, Duan Yun was doing experiments in the inner laboratory, and Chen Wanqing sat at her desk in a daze.
Thinking of the results of the simulation laboratory in the morning, Xu Qiu walked to sit down next to Chen Wanqing and smiled mysteriously at the senior sister.
The elder sister blinked her eyes and said, "Why are you smiling?"
Xu Qiu smiled and said nothing, he hadn't considered how to tell her the good news.
Chen Wanqing also responded with a smile: "By the way, don't forget to make the device for me, please."
"Okay," Xu Qiu nodded and said, "Then I will prepare a solution now." After saying that, he got up and went to the laboratory inside.
After much deliberation, Xu Qiu decided to experiment according to the PCE10 system first.
Although the efficiency is only about 4%, it is not too low. At least it can give the seniors the motivation to continue to optimize the molecular structure.
Afterwards, she can slowly guide her to consider the complementarity of light absorption, and let her personally "discover" wide band gap donors such as PTAZ, which is more secure.
After the solution was prepared, Xu Qiu started spin coating, evaporation, and testing of the device. At the same time, he did not leave the article writing work, and took the time to complete the abstract, conclusion and introduction.
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Teacher Wei pulled a green suitcase and appeared at the door of 216 in the dust.
