Sonia Sadiq et al.

Summary: The performance of organic solar cells (OSCs) can be improved by enhancing the light absorption capabilities and open-circuit voltage (Voc) of the utilized molecules. In this work, seven new molecules were designed using an end-cap alteration technique on the Quinoxaline fused core-based non-fullerene acceptor (Qx-2) molecule to upgrade the overall functionality of OSCs. All newly designed molecules showed significant improvement in optoelectronic and performance-related properties. Notably, Q1 exhibited the highest absorption peak wavelength (lambda max = 779 nm), the lowest band gap (1.90 eV), the lowest excitation energy (Ex = 1.59 eV), and the highest dipole moment (17.982950 D). Additionally, the newly designed compounds Q4, Q5, and Q6 exhibited significantly improved Voc compared to the Qx-2 molecule. These results support the potential use of these newly developed molecules as superior constituents in upgraded OSCs.
