The organic solar cell is composed of a p-type organic semiconductor (p-OS) donor and an n-type organic semiconductor (n-OS) acceptor blended active layer sandwiched between a transparent conductive electrode and a metal electrode. The advantages of light weight, low cost and flexible and translucent devices that can be prepared by solution processing methods have become research hotspots in the field of new energy research in recent years. The p-OS donor photovoltaic materials include conjugated polymers and small organic molecules. Compared with polymers, small-molecule materials have the advantages of definite molecular structure, no difference in synthetic batches, and easy purification. Therefore, organic small-molecule donor photovoltaic materials have also attracted widespread attention. All-small molecule non-fullerene organic solar cells use p-OS small molecule donors and n-OS small molecule acceptors, and have the advantages of small molecule donor materials and non-fullerene small molecule acceptor materials, and have recently become organic An important research direction in the field of solar cells.
With the support of the pilot project of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the research team of Li Yongfang, a key laboratory of organic solids, Institute of Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, recently obtained a series of studies in the research of p-OS small molecule donor materials and all small molecule non-fullerene organic solar cells Progress has enabled the energy conversion efficiency of all small molecule organic solar cells to exceed 10%.
The p-OS small molecule donor material mostly adopts A-Ï€-D-Ï€-A type (where D represents the donor structural unit and A represents the acceptor structural unit) linear molecular structure. On the basis of the J-series high-efficiency polymer donor photovoltaic materials they developed for non-fullerene polymer solar cells, they J-series polymers were made into small molecules and synthesized based on benzodithiophene (BDT ) Is the donor unit, the fluorine-substituted triazole (FBTA) is the acceptor unit, and the acetonitrile ester group is the terminal acceptor unit p-OS small molecules H11 and H12 (see Figure 1 for the molecular structure). The open circuit voltage (Voc) of all small molecule organic solar cells with H11 as the donor and n-OS small molecule IDIC as the acceptor reaches 0.977V, and the energy conversion efficiency (hereinafter referred to as efficiency) reaches 9.73% (J.Am.Chem.Soc .2017,139,5085-5094.).
The n-OS small molecule acceptor material has the characteristics of an anisotropic conjugated skeleton, so the molecular structure of p-OS is optimized to adjust the morphology of the entire small molecule active layer to form a good donor-acceptor nanoscale phase separation The interpenetrating network structure is an important means to improve the photovoltaic performance of all small molecule organic solar cells. Using BDT as the central donor unit, they introduced the oligothiophene structure into the p-OS molecular structure and synthesized two p-OS molecules SM1 and SM2 (see Figure 1 for the molecular structure). The efficiency of all small molecule organic solar cells based on SM1: IDIC reaches 10.11% (Chem Mater. 2017,29,7543–7553.), Which is the first time that the efficiency of all small molecule non-fullerene organic solar cells has exceeded 10%.
In two-dimensional conjugated polymers based on thiophene-substituted BDT, the silane-based side chain can effectively reduce the HOMO energy level of the polymer, enhance absorption and increase hole mobility. In order to further improve the photovoltaic performance of all small-molecule organic solar cells, they recently introduced a two-dimensional BDT unit with silanethiophene as the side chain into the p-OS small molecule donor material, and synthesized two new p-OS small molecules. Molecular donor photovoltaic materials H21 and H22 (the molecular structure is shown in Figure 1), and the effects of different terminal acceptor units on the physical and chemical properties of the material and its photovoltaic performance were studied. The photoelectric conversion efficiency of all small molecule organic solar cells based on H22: IDIC was further improved to 10.29%. This result was recently published in "Advanced Materials" (Adv. Mater., 2018, 30, 1706361.).

Thiocyanate (also known as rhodanide) is the anion [SCN]−. It is the conjugate base of thiocyanic acid. Common derivatives include the colourless salts Potassium Thiocyanate and Sodium Thiocyanate. Organic compounds containing the functional group SCN are also called thiocyanates. Mercury(II) thiocyanate was formerly used in pyrotechnics.
Thiocyanate is analogous to the cyanate ion, [OCN]−, wherein oxygen is replaced by sulfur. [SCN]− is one of the pseudohalides, due to the similarity of its reactions to that of halide ions. Thiocyanate used to be known as rhodanide (from a Greek word for rose) because of the red colour of its complexes with iron. Thiocyanate is produced by the reaction of elemental sulfur or thiosulfate with cyanide
Thiocyanate[4] is known to be an important part in the biosynthesis of hypothiocyanite by a lactoperoxidase.[5][6][7] Thus the complete absence of thiocyanate[8] or reduced thiocyanate[9] in the human body, (e.g., cystic fibrosis) is damaging to the human host defense system.[10][11]
Thiocyanate is a potent competitive inhibitor of the thyroid sodium-iodide symporter.[12] Iodine is an essential component of thyroxine. Since thiocyanates will decrease iodide transport into the thyroid follicular cell, they will decrease the amount of thyroxine produced by the thyroid gland. As such, foodstuffs containing thiocyanate are best avoided by Iodide deficient hypothyroid patients.[13]
In the early 20th century, thiocyanate was used in the treatment of hypertension, but it is no longer used because of associated toxicity.[14] Sodium nitroprusside, a metabolite of which is thiocyanate, is however still used for the treatment of a hypertensive emergency. Rhodanese catalyzes the reaction of sodium nitroprusside with thiosulfate to form the metabolite thiocyanate
Our main Thiocyanates are Sodium Thiocyanate, Potassium Thiocyanate, ammonium thiocyanate.
