An A-D-A′-D-A type unfused nonfullerene acceptor for organic solar cells with approaching 14% efficiency

Xingzheng Liu et al.

Summary: In recent years, significant improvements have been made in the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs) by exploring new active layer materials, especially high efficiency acceptors. Unfused-ring acceptors (UFAs) have attracted attention for their advantages of simple synthesis and low cost compared to fused-ring acceptors. The synthesis of a new UFA BTzO-4F incorporating benzotriazole moiety and intramolecular noncovalent interactions has led to a record PCE of 13.8% for UFAs, demonstrating the great potential of UFAs for high performance OSCs.

Single-layered organic photovoltaics with double cascading charge transport pathways: 18% efficiencies

Ming Zhang et al.

Summary: By using quaternary blends, double cascading energy level alignment is achieved in bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic active layers, optimizing light absorption, carrier transport, and charge-transfer state energy levels for higher power conversion efficiencies. The chemical structures of donors and acceptors allow control over electronic structure and charge-transfer state energy levels, enabling manipulation of hole-transfer rates, carrier transport, and non-radiative recombination losses.

Structural modulation of π-conjugated linkers in D-π-A dyes based on triphenylamine dicyanovinylene framework to explore the NLO properties

Muhammad Khalid et al.

Summary: A donor-pi-acceptor type series of Triphenylamine-dicyanovinylene-based chromophores (DPMN1-DPMN11) was theoretically designed by structurally tailoring pi-linkers of experimentally synthesized molecules DTTh and DTTz to exploit changes in optical properties and nonlinear optical behavior. Density functional theory (DFT) computations were used to investigate the influence of these structural modifications on NLO properties, revealing lower band gaps and broad absorption spectra in the visible region with remarkable NLO response. Additionally, chromophores containing imidazole in the second pi-linker showed greater hyperpolarizability compared to those containing pyrrole, indicating the potential for designing metal-free NLO materials for high-tech applications.
