Abstract
A photovoltaic element has high photoelectric conversion efficiency as well as excellent processing properties/low environmental load. The organic semiconductor composition includes as an additive a compound in which one or two aromatic rings are substituted with a predetermined number of alkyl groups, alkoxy groups, alkanoyl groups, or thioalkyl groups. There is also a method of manufacturing a photovoltaic element which uses the composition.
Claims21
1-12. (canceled)

- in which in formula (1), A represents any aromatic hydrocarbon group having one ring or a heteroaromatic group having one ring, n is a natural number of 2 or more, R1s are n of substituents coupled with the A at an arbitrary position, may be the same or different, and represent an alkyl group, an alkoxy group or an alkanoyl group, further, at least one among a plurality of R1s is either an alkoxy group or an alkanoyl group, plurality of R1s may be combined with one another to form a ring,
- in which in formula (2), B represents any aromatic hydrocarbon group having two rings or a heteroaromatic group having two rings, n is a natural number of 1 or more, R2s are n of substituents coupled with the B at an arbitrary position, may be the same or different, and represent an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkanoyl group or a thioalkyl group, further, at least one among R2s is any one of an alkoxy group, an alkanoyl group and a thioalkyl group, a plurality of R2s may be combined with one another to form a ring, and
- in which in formula (3), C represents any aromatic hydrocarbon group having one ring or a heteroaromatic group having one ring, n is a natural number of 1 or more, R3s are n of substituents coupled with the C at an arbitrary position, may be the same or different, and represent an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an alkanoyl group or a thioalkyl group, further, at least one among R3s is a thioalkyl group a plurality of R3s may be combined with one another to form a ring.
The organic semiconductor composition according to claim 8, wherein the conjugated polymer is a conjugated polymer represented by formula (7):
- in which R4s which may be the same or different represent an alkyl group, an alkoxy group, an optionally substituted heteroaryl group, an optionally substituted aryl group or a thioalkoxy group, R5s represent an alkoxycarbonyl group or an alkanoyl group, X which may be the same or different represents a sulfur atom, a selenium atom or an oxygen atom, and Y represents a hydrogen atom or a halogen atom.
