Latest progress on fully non-fused electron acceptors for high-performance organic solar cells

Jianhong Gao et al.

Summary: Remarkable advances have been made in organic solar cells with the power conversion efficiency (PCE) exceeding 19% using non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). However, the major achievement comes from fused ring electron acceptors (FREAs) with complex structures, leading to high cost. Therefore, designing fully non-fused ring electron acceptors (NFREAs) with only single-aromatic ring in the electron-donating core can achieve a fine balance between efficiency and cost, accelerating the commercial application of organic solar cells.

Compromising Charge Generation and Recombination with Asymmetric Molecule for High-Performance Binary Organic Photovoltaics with Over 18% Certified Efficiency

Chengliang He et al.

Summary: Balancing charge generation and recombination is a major challenge in breaking the limitations of organic photovoltaics. Researchers have developed an asymmetric non-fullerene acceptor called AC9, demonstrating a high-performance OPV with a champion efficiency of 18.43%. Comprehensive analysis shows that the improved device performance of AC9-based OPVs is due to a better compromise between charge generation and non-radiative charge recombination compared to symmetric acceptors.

Versatile Sequential Casting Processing for Highly Efficient and Stable Binary Organic Photovoltaics

Chengliang He et al.

Summary: This study investigates the advantages of using the sequential casting (SC) method for bulk heterojunction (BHJ)-based organic solar cells (OSCs). It is found that SC processing can achieve better morphology and device performance compared to the widely-used blend casting (BC) method. The observations on phase separation and vertical distribution inspire the proposal of the swelling-intercalation phase-separation model to explain the morphology evolution during SC processing. Moreover, the vertical phase segregation is found to improve device performance through affecting charge transport and collection processes.

Qing Shen et al.

Summary: This article comprehensively summarizes the work on non-fused ring electron acceptors (NFREAs) in terms of molecular design and efficiency optimization, material cost, and stability.
