Lijiao Ma et al.

Summary: Non-fullerene acceptors based on non-fused conjugated structures have potential for low-cost organic photovoltaic cells, but their efficiencies are lower than those of fused-ring NFAs. A new bithiophene-based non-fused core, TT-Pi, was designed, leading to the development of a completely non-fused NFA, A4T-16, which achieved a high PCE of 15.2% with 84% retention after 1300 hours under simulated AM 1.5 G illumination. This work provides insight into molecule design of non-fused NFAs through molecular geometry control.

Summary: The power conversion efficiencies of organic solar cells have been greatly improved with the rapid development of non-fullerene acceptors in recent years, especially using benzothiadiazole as an important electron-accepting unit. By judicious molecular engineering, the optoelectronic properties of BT-based small molecules can be efficiently modulated to achieve high-efficiency photovoltaic devices. The highest PCE reached up to 18% due to the emergence of fused-BT-based molecule Y6, which has promoted the rapid progress of OSCs since 2019.

Medium band-gap non-fullerene acceptors based on a benzothiophene donor moiety enabling high-performance indoor organic photovoltaics

Xiaojun Li et al.

Summary: This study reported the modification of the Y6 structure by replacing its D unit with benzothiophene, synthesizing two novel NFAs for indoor applications, LBT-DF and LBT-SCl. The use of benzothiophene unit resulted in blue-shifting of absorption spectra and up-shifting of LUMO energy levels of the NFAs, leading to higher V-oc and PCE compared to Y6. Interestingly, these NFAs exhibited a non-planar aromatic structure, which is rarely seen in published NFAs known for achieving high PCE.
