Nonradiative Triplet Loss Suppressed in Organic Photovoltaic Blends with Fluoridated Nonfullerene Acceptors

Rui Wang et al.

Summary: The research shows that using fluorinated nonfullerene acceptors in organic photovoltaic blends can suppress the bimolecular recombination of spin-uncorrelated electrons and holes, prolonging the lifetime of charge carriers. This fluorination effect can be explained by modifying the energy alignment between the charge-transfer and locally excited triplet excited states.

Fine-tuning of side-chain orientations on nonfullerene acceptors enables organic solar cells with 17.7% efficiency

Gaoda Chai et al.

Summary: Side-chain engineering plays a crucial role in optimizing Y-series nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) for organic solar cells (OSCs). By investigating the orientation of side chains, it was found that the meta-positioned hexylphenyl group (m-BTP-PhC6) showed the most beneficial effects on optical absorption, intermolecular packing, and phase separation of NFAs, resulting in a device efficiency of 17.7% when paired with a donor polymer PTQ10. This study demonstrates that regulating side-chain orientations of Y-series NFAs is a promising strategy for achieving favorable morphology, high charge mobility, and improved solar cell performances.
