Abstract

Implantable biomedical electronics, such as pacemakers, drug pumps, cochlear implants, cardioverter-defibrillators, and neurological stimulators, help humans to overcome various diseases. Currently, the power supply for these devices relies on small-size batteries, and replacement of the battery is...

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are a class of emerging photovoltaics, which are now becoming more practical with recently developed device and material engineering. The absorption of OPVs using a non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) could be extended to the near-infrared (NIR) region to cover the transmission window of human skin between 650 and 1000&#x2009;nm. Motivated by this, we conducted a study of NFA-based OPVs under light irradiation of wavelengths of 650&#x2013;1000&#x2009;nm for implants. The devices using donor (PTB7-Th) and NFA (IEICO-4F) as the active material have strong absorption in the NIR region and obtained a promising power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.3% under the implant light illumination, compared to 8.11% when using a benchmark fullerene derivative-based acceptor (PC71BM). Importantly, the PCE and power density of the NFA-based OPVs are significantly higher than the previously reported fullerene-based OPVs devices. This study shows that NFA-based OPVs have high potential for future applications in powering implants, e.g., through charging batteries.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Applied Physics Letters</journal><volume>122</volume><journalNumber>14</journalNumber><paginationStart>143906</paginationStart><paginationEnd/><publisher>AIP Publishing</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint>0003-6951</issnPrint><issnElectronic>1077-3118</issnElectronic><keywords/><publishedDay>3</publishedDay><publishedMonth>4</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2023</publishedYear><publishedDate>2023-04-03</publishedDate><doi>10.1063/5.0144861</doi><url>http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/5.0144861</url><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Engineering and Applied Sciences School</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>EAAS</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm>SU Library paid the OA fee (TA Institutional Deal)</apcterm><funders>We are very grateful to the SPECIFIC Innovation and Knowledge Center (No. EP/N020863/1), EPSRC ICASE (No. EP/S513714/1), and the Welsh European Funding Office (SPARC II) grants for providing financial support.</funders><projectreference/><lastEdited>2024-10-07T15:51:11.5242071</lastEdited><Created>2023-04-14T10:05:05.8949494</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Science and Engineering</level><level id="2">School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - Materials Science and Engineering</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Ram</firstname><surname>Datt</surname><orcid>0000-0003-3109-1278</orcid><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Harrison</firstname><surname>Lee</surname><orcid/><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Michael</firstname><surname>Spence</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Matt</firstname><surname>Carnie</surname><orcid>0000-0002-4232-1967</orcid><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Wing Chung</firstname><surname>Tsoi</surname><orcid>0000-0003-3836-5139</orcid><order>5</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>63147__27042__af1e12a75d114de3984e895db661f92e.pdf</filename><originalFilename>63147.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2023-04-14T10:12:49.2974941</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>2412093</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Version of Record</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><copyrightCorrect>false</copyrightCorrect></document></documents><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
