The choice of molecular material plays a crucial role in improving the performance organic solar cells. Herein, two coumarin‐based small molecules are designed and synthesized which π‐system is extended by introduction double bonds. differed attachment central acceptor units. replacement carbonyl group C3 dicyanomethylene unit C3–CN red‐shift absorption, reduced energy gap, stabilized highest occupied orbital lowest unoccupied levels. When blended with complementary absorbing all‐fused F13, binary devices using donor delivered power conversion efficiency (PCE) 11.09%. In contrast, C3–CN:F13‐based device displayed an impressive PCE 14.84% due to obvious increase all open circuit voltage, short current density, fill factor values. inclusion CN backbone induces tighter intermolecular packing, beneficial for charge transport properties. study demonstrates that subtle modification conjugation length tuning level proper could be promising way improve device's performance.

Materials optimization for organic solar cells (OSCs) is a highly active field, with many approaches using empirical experimental synthesis, computational brute force to screen subset of chemical space, or generative machine learning methods that often require significant training sets. While these may find high-performing materials, they can be inefficient and time-consuming. Genetic algorithms (GAs) are an alternative approach, allowing the "virtual synthesis" molecules prediction their "fitness" some property, new candidates suggested based on good characteristics previously generated molecules. In this work, GA used discover unfused non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) power conversion efficiency (PCE) provides design rules future work. The electron-withdrawing/donating strength, as well sequence symmetry, those units examined. utilization over brute-force approach resulted in speedups up 1.8 × 1012. New types units, not frequently seen OSCs, suggested, total 5426 NFAs discovered GA. Of these, 1087 predicted have PCE greater than 18%, which roughly current record efficiency. symmetry showed no correlation PCE, analysis arrangement revealed higher performance achieved donor core acceptor end groups. Future NFA designs should consider strategy A-D-A'-D-A architecture.
