Rational Mutual Interactions in Ternary Systems Enable High-Performance Organic Solar Cells

Huanxiang Jiang et al.

Summary: This study investigates the roles of two acceptors with different crystallinity, LA1 and LA9, in ternary organic solar cells. It is found that LA9, with higher crystallinity, tends to form large self-aggregates, leading to decreased device performance compared to LA1. Both acceptors show improved device performance when incorporated into the binary host compound, with the appropriate interactions of LA9 inducing ordered crystallinity and better compatibility with the host acceptor.

Intrinsic efficiency limits in low-bandgap non-fullerene acceptor organic solar cells

Safakath Karuthedath et al.

Summary: In bulk heterojunction organic solar cells based on low-bandgap non-fullerene acceptors, ultrafast donor-to-acceptor energy transfer precedes hole transfer, and an ionization energy offset of about 0.5 eV is required for efficient charge separation.

Single-layered organic photovoltaics with double cascading charge transport pathways: 18% efficiencies

Ming Zhang et al.

Summary: By using quaternary blends, double cascading energy level alignment is achieved in bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic active layers, optimizing light absorption, carrier transport, and charge-transfer state energy levels for higher power conversion efficiencies. The chemical structures of donors and acceptors allow control over electronic structure and charge-transfer state energy levels, enabling manipulation of hole-transfer rates, carrier transport, and non-radiative recombination losses.

Non-fullerene acceptors with branched side chains and improved molecular packing to exceed 18% efficiency in organic solar cells

Chao Li et al.

Summary: The molecular design of acceptor and donor molecules has significantly advanced organic photovoltaics. By introducing branched alkyl chains in non-fullerene acceptors, favorable morphology in the active layer can be achieved, leading to a certified device efficiency of 17.9%. This modification can completely alter the molecular packing behavior of non-fullerene acceptors, resulting in improved structural order and charge transport in thin films.
