A New End Group on Nonfullerene Acceptors Endows Efficient Organic Solar Cells with Low Energy Losses

Youwen Pan et al.

Summary: Chemical modifications were made to the famous Y-series nonfullerene acceptor BTP-4Cl-BO, resulting in the synthesis of two novel NFAs, BTP-T-2Cl and BTP-T-3Cl, with extended pi-conjugation through the fusing of IC group with a chlorinated thiophene ring. The OSC using BTP-T-2Cl exhibited a modest PCE of 14.89% with an extraordinary low energy loss of 0.49 eV, while the OSC using BTP-T-3Cl showed a higher PCE of 17.61% but with a slightly bigger energy loss of 0.51 eV. Adopting two NFAs of BTP-T-3Cl and BTP-4Cl-BO, a ternary OSC achieved an impressive PCE of 18.21%, demonstrating the effectiveness of expanding end groups of NFAs with electron-donating rings in reducing energy losses for OSCs.

Versatile Sequential Casting Processing for Highly Efficient and Stable Binary Organic Photovoltaics

Chengliang He et al.

Summary: This study investigates the advantages of using the sequential casting (SC) method for bulk heterojunction (BHJ)-based organic solar cells (OSCs). It is found that SC processing can achieve better morphology and device performance compared to the widely-used blend casting (BC) method. The observations on phase separation and vertical distribution inspire the proposal of the swelling-intercalation phase-separation model to explain the morphology evolution during SC processing. Moreover, the vertical phase segregation is found to improve device performance through affecting charge transport and collection processes.

Zeng Chen et al.

Summary: Nonfullerene acceptor organic solar cells with power conversion efficiency up to 18% show the formation of NFA triplet exciton as a main non-radiative recombination and energy loss channel.
