Regulation of Molecular Orientations of A-D-A Nonfullerene Acceptors for Organic Photovoltaics: The Role of End-Group π-π Stacking

Wenyu Zheng et al.

Summary: This study elucidates the molecular self-assembly and orientation formation mechanism of A-D-A small-molecule acceptors using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. It is found that pi-pi stacking at the liquid-vapor interfaces during solvent evaporation enhances horizontal and face-on orientations. The cooperative control of pi-pi stacking by both end-group pi-pi interaction and side-chain steric hindrance is crucial for improving the performance of organic photovoltaics in terms of horizontal and face-on orientations.

A Universal Nonhalogenated Polymer Donor for High-Performance Organic Photovoltaic Cells

Tao Zhang et al.

Summary: Two nonhalogenated polymers, PB1 and PB2, were prepared and tested in organic photovoltaic cells. PB2 showed superior power conversion efficiency when combined with BTP-eC9 and PBDB-TF, as well as good compatibility with various nonfullerene acceptors. When combined with a wide-bandgap electron acceptor (F-BTA3), PB2 achieved excellent PCE, demonstrating its potential for developing low-cost materials and expanding the application of OPV cells.

New BODIPY derivatives with triarylamine and truxene substituents as donors for organic bulk heterojunction photovoltaic cells

Fangjian Cai et al.

Summary: Researchers have designed two new BODIPY derivatives, 6a and 6b, with truxene and triphenylamine (TPA) groups, and examined their optical and electrochemical properties. By using them in binary and ternary organic solar cells, they achieved higher power conversion efficiencies compared to cells based on traditional acceptors PC71BM and Y6. This improvement is likely due to better exciton generation rate, exciton dissociation, and charge collection in the ternary organic solar cells.

Xiaodong Wang et al.

Summary: NFREAs with increasing pi-conjugation length show enhanced molar extinction coefficient and electron mobility in blend films. The molecular conformation of 2BTh-2F is planar, supported by S···N and S···O intramolecular interactions, and it forms a 3D network packing structure compared to the 2D packing of 2Th-2F. 2BTh-2F:PBDB-T-based organic solar cells achieve a high power conversion efficiency of 14.53%, reaching a record efficiency of 15.44% when D18 is used as the donor polymer.
