Atomic replacement on platforms of nonfullerene acceptor (NFA) with already excellent performance is expected to further optimize the energy levels, absorptions, and even charge transfer dynamics of NFAs effectively without greatly destroying their superior molecular conformations. On the basis of high‐performance F‐series NFAs, the structural optimization at atomic level is performed by replacing sulfur atoms in FO‐2Cl with selenium atoms, thus affording a new NFA labeled as FOSe‐2Cl. FOSe‐2Cl not only inherits the good planar configuration of FO‐2Cl, but also exhibits more suitable energy levels, redshifted absorption, enhanced molecular packing, and accelerative charge transfer/transport dynamics compared with those of FO‐2Cl. With a widely used polymer PM6 as the donor, organic solar cell (OSC) based on FOSe‐2Cl affords a significantly improved power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.94% with a reduced energy loss (Eloss) of 0.670 eV, with respect to that of FO‐2Cl‐based OSC with a PCE of 14.94% and Eloss of 0.706 eV. The result represents the best performance reported to date for pyran‐fused NFAs and F‐series NFAs‐based binary OSCs, providing another promising platform to achieve the state‐of‐the‐art OSCs in addition to the well‐known Y‐series NFAs.
The photovoltaic properties and energy loss of organic solar cells (OSCs) based on non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) are highly dependent on their molecular structures and morphologies. Herein, three NFAs, named Fʹ-2Cl,...
Suppressing intramolecular vibration of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) by molecular rigidification has been proven to be an effective way to reduce the non-radiative recombination loss and energetic disorder of organic solar cells (OSCs).
Three non-fullerene acceptors BTP-OC4, BTP-OC6 and BTP-OC8 with different 4-alkyloxyphenyl side-chains were designed and synthesized through a new synthetic route without organotin reagent. The length of the alkyloxy attached on...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
