摘要
3,5-Dinitrobenzoyl chloride was covalently linked to graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets prepared by a modified Hummers' method, using ethylenediamine as a spacer. The linkage of the GO with the small molecule was confirmed by spectroscopic (e.g., Fourier transform infrared, Raman) and microscopic analyses. The resultant GO-ethylene-dinitro-benzoyl (GO-EDNB) consists of a controlled scale of different graphene structures and is highly dispersable in common organic solvents. The GO-EDNB was used as the electron acceptor material in poly-(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) bulk heterojunction photovoltaic devices to significantly improve the performance, yielding a power conversion efficiency improvement of two orders and one order of magnitude compared with the pristine P3HT and the P3HT-GO devices respectively.
