Ternary organic solar cells with 16.88% efficiency enabled by a twisted perylene diimide derivative to enhance the open-circuit voltage

Ming-Yang Ni et al.

Summary: The study explores the use of a new PDI-tetramer, Cor-T-PDI, as a second acceptor to enhance the open-circuit voltage of a PM6:Y6 base ternary system in organic solar cells. By adjusting the ratio and creating a cascade energy level alignment, a significantly increased V-oc value was achieved without sacrificing J(sc) and FF, resulting in high PCE performance with low energy loss. This strategy demonstrates the potential for improving efficiency in binary systems with high J(sc) but low or moderate V-oc values by introducing a third component with appropriate structure.
