Single-junction organic solar cells (OSCs) have made significant progress in recent years. Innovations material design and device optimization improved the power conversion efficiencies to over 19 %. In this Minireview, based on advances, we discuss molecular strategies tune absorption spectrum, energy level, intermolecular aggregation as well highlight role of electrostatic potential decreasing loss. Then, introduce latest four types OSCs composed different donor:acceptor combinations: polymer donor:small-molecule acceptor, all-polymer, all-small-molecule, small-molecule donor:polymer acceptor. Finally, challenges practical applications, including cost, stability, multi-function integration, are discussed.

Intrinsically stretchable organic solar cells (IS-OSCs), consisting of all layers, are attracting significant attention as a future power source for wearable electronics. However, most the efficient active layers OSCs mechanically brittle due to their rigid molecular structures designed high electrical and optical properties. Here, series new polymer donors (PD s, PhAmX) featuring phenyl amide (N1 ,N3 -bis((5-bromothiophen-2-yl)methyl)isophthalamide, PhAm)-based flexible spacer (FS) inducing hydrogen-bonding (H-bonding) interactions is developed. These PD s enable IS-OSCs with conversion efficiency (PCE) 12.73% excellent stretchability (PCE retention >80% initial value at 32% strain), representing best performances among reported date. The incorporation PhAm-based FS enhances ordering well Y7 acceptor, enhancing mechanical properties simultaneously. It also found that in OSCs, PhAm5:Y7 blend achieves much higher PCE 17.5% compared reference PM6:Y7 blend. impact PhAm-FS linker on photovoltaic thoroughly investigated.

Abstract The prerequisite for commercially viable organic solar cells (OSC) is to reduce the efficiency‐stability‐cost gap. Therefore, cost of materials should be reduced by minimizing synthetic steps, yet maintaining molecular planarity and efficiencies achieved fused ring acceptors (FRA). In this respect, developing non‐fused (NFRA) with suitable functionalization favor conformational effective packing beneficial cost‐effective. Presently, power conversion efficiency (PCE) NFRAs around 16 %, lower than 19 % FRAs. Despite their potential, a thorough understanding structural design necessary efficient OSCs. This article pays special attention concept developed in last years analyzed approach toward improvement, an important step technological application.

Abstract With the emergence of ADA'DA‐type (Y‐series) non‐fullerene acceptors (NFAs), power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) organic photovoltaic devices have been constantly refreshed and gradually reached 20% in recent years (19% for single junction tandem device). The possess specific design concept, which greatly enrich NFA types excellent compatibility with many donor materials. It is gratifying to note that previously underperforming materials combine these regulated shine again. Nowadays, concept modular widely used research donors, injecting new vitality into field photovoltaics. Furthermore, also promote multicomponent devices, bilayer processing solvent engineering, additive engineering. Herein, latest progresses polymer solar cells efficiency over 17% are briefly reviewed from aspects active material design, interface development, device technology. At last, opportunities challenges commercialization future discussed.

High power conversion efficiency (PCE) and stretchability are the dual requirements for wearable application of polymer solar cells (PSCs). However, most efficient photoactive films mechanically brittle. In this work, highly (PCE = 18%) robust (crack-onset strain (COS) PSCs acheived by designing block copolymer (BCP) donors, PM6-b-PDMSx (x 5k, 12k, 19k). these BCP stretchable poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) blocks covalently linked with PM6 to effectively increase stretchability. The donors increases a longer PDMS block, PM6-b-PDMS19k :L8-BO PSC exhibits high PCE (18%) 9-times higher COS value compared that (COS 2%) PM6:L8-BO-based PSC. PM6:L8-BO:PDMS12k ternary blend shows inferior (5%) (1%) due macrophase separation between active components. intrinsically PSC, significantly greater mechanical stability PCE80% ((80% initial PCE) at 36% strain) than those PM6:L8-BO (PCE80% 12% PM6:L8-BO:PDMS 4% strain). This study suggests an effective design strategy PD achieve PSCs.

Abstract High power conversion efficiency (PCE), long‐term stability, and mechanical robustness are prerequisites for the commercial applications of organic solar cells (OSCs). In this study, a new star‐shaped trimer acceptor (TYT‐S) is developed high‐performance OSCs with PCE 19.0%, high photo‐stability ( t 80% lifetime = 2600 h under 1‐sun illumination), crack‐onset strain (COS) 21.6% achieved. The isotropic molecular structure TYT‐S affords efficient multi‐directional charge transport electron mobility. Furthermore, its amorphous prevents formation brittle crystal‐to‐crystal interfaces, significantly enhancing properties OSC. As result, TYT‐S‐based demonstrate higher (19.0%) stretchability (COS 21.6%) than linear‐shaped (TYT‐L)‐based (PCE 17.5% COS 6.4%) small‐molecule (MYT)‐based 16.5% 1.3%). addition, increased size TYT‐S, relative to that MYT dimer (DYT), suppresses diffusion kinetics molecules, substantially improving photostability OSCs. Finally, effectively potential intrinsically stretchable (IS)‐OSCs constructed. IS‐OSCs exhibit device (strain at 31%) 14.4%.
