Restrained energetic disorder for high-efficiency organic solar cells via a solid additive

Zhihao Chen et al.

Summary: In this study, 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene (TMB) was incorporated as a solid additive to restrict energetic disorder and achieve high efficiency in organic solar cells. TMB showed strong electrostatic interaction with the terminal groups of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs), facilitating face-to-face packing. It acted as a bridge during film formation to connect adjacent NFAs, and a controlled pi-pi stacking distance was obtained after volatilization. The optimized morphology limited energetic disorder, leading to enhanced exciton delocalization and reduced non-radiative energy loss. TMB-incorporated binary and ternary devices achieved high efficiencies of 18.61% and 19.30%, respectively. This work provides new insights into morphology optimization and offers inspiration for improving organic solar cell performance.

Effects of energetic disorder in bulk heterojunction organic solar cells

Jun Yuan et al.

Summary: Organic solar cells (OSCs) have made rapid progress in recent years through the development of novel organic photoactive materials, particularly non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). However, the understanding of the interplay between molecular structure and optoelectronic properties lags significantly behind. The potential role of energetic disorder in OSCs has received little attention, but recent studies have shown that state-of-the-art NFA-based devices can achieve both low energetic disorder and high power conversion efficiency (PCE).
