In this study, a new acceptor named NQF was designed and successfully applied in organic solar cells, achieving a high power conversion efficiency by reducing nonradiative recombination energy loss.
One of the significant factors that limit efficiencies of organic solar cells (OSCs) is their large energy loss (E-loss), especially the high nonradiative recombination energy loss (Delta E-nr). Herein, an acceptor named NQF with an asymmetric and extended conjugation central core has been designed and synthesized. Compared with Y6, NQF exhibits upshifted HOMO and LUMO energy levels and a higher photoluminescence quantum yield (PLQY). The OSC based on PM6:NQF demonstrates a Delta E-nr as low as 0.177 eV and thus a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.57%. In contrast, the control device PM6:Y6 gives a PCE of 16.45% with a Delta E-nr value of 0.231 eV. This work achieves molecular design with low Delta E-nr and demonstrates that the E-loss of OSCs can be effectively reduced through rational and delicate molecular design.
