▎ 摘  要

A new graphene-fullerene composite (rGO-pyrene-PCBM), in which [6,6]-phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) was attached onto reduced graphene oxide (rGO) via the noncovalent functionalization approach, was reported. The pyrene-PCBM moiety was synthesized via a facile esterification reaction, and pyrene was used as an anchoring bridge to link rGO and PCBM components. FTIR, UV-vis, and XPS spectroscopic characterizations were carried out to confirm the hybrid structure of rGO-pyrene-PCBM, and the composite formation is found to improve greatly the dispersity of rGO in DMF. The geometric configuration of rGO-pyrene-PCBM was studied by Raman, SEM, and AFM analyses, suggesting that the C-60 moiety is far from the graphene sheet and is bridged with the graphene sheet via the pyrene anchor. Finally rGO-pyrene-PCBM was successfully applied as electron extraction layer for P3HT:PCBM bulk heterojunction polymer solar cell (BHJ-PSC) devices, affording a PCE of 3.89%, which is enhanced by ca. 15% compared to that of the reference device without electron extraction layer (3.39%). Contrarily, the comparative devices Incorporating the rGO or pyrene-PCBM component as electron extraction layer showed dramatically decreased PCE, indicating the importance of composite formation between rGO and pyrene-PCBM components for its electron extraction property.
