Fused-Ring Electron Acceptors for Photovoltaics and Beyond

Jiayu Wang et al.

Summary: The emerging solar cell technologies, such as organic solar cells (OSCs) and perovskite solar cells (PSCs), are attracting attention due to advantages like easy fabrication, low cost, flexibility, and short energy payback time. The development of fused-ring electron acceptors (FREAs) has led to significant improvements in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of OSCs, reaching up to 18%, and has initiated a shift from fullerene-based systems to nonfullerene systems within the field.

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.

Layer-by-Layer Processed Ternary Organic Photovoltaics with Efficiency over 18%

Lingling Zhan et al.

Summary: This study proposes and demonstrates a method to optimize the morphology of the active layer in organic photovoltaic devices by combining the layer-by-layer (LbL) procedure and the ternary strategy. By adding an asymmetric electron acceptor to the binary donor:acceptor host, a vertical phase distribution is formed, leading to improved efficiency in OPV devices.

Carboxylate substituted pyrazine: A simple and low-cost building block for novel wide bandgap polymer donor enables 15.3% efficiency in organic solar cells

Jingnan Wu et al.

Summary: A novel wide bandgap polymer donor PFBCPZ was developed in this study, which achieved a high power conversion efficiency in organic solar cells (OSCs) when matched with a low bandgap acceptor IT-4F. This demonstrates the potential of low-cost, simple structured DTCPz as a promising building block for high-performance polymer donors in efficient OSCs.
