Abstract Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have demonstrated increasing potential for use in large‐area, flexible, and light‐weight applications. To date, the rapid development of nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) their conjugated polymeric donors increased efficiency OPV by over 19%. Nevertheless, is still suffering from high energy loss, which primarily derives donor (D)/acceptor (A) interfacial charge recombination. In particular, voltage loss occurring at D/A interface accounts current bottleneck, hampering further enhancement efficiency. this review, recent discovery photophysics NFA‐based OPVs, including comparison with its fullerene‐based counterpart, covered. Additionally, factors governing such as energetics local morphologies, causes trade‐off relationship between photovoltage photocurrent are highlighted. Accordingly, control properties to create an “ideal” generation OPVs reviewed; emphasized that modifications can serve a powerful tool manage challenges path toward future practical

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have progressed steadily through three stages of photoactive materials development: (i) use poly(3-hexylthiophene) and fullerene-based acceptors (FAs) for optimizing bulk heterojunctions; (ii) development new donors to better match with FAs; (iii) non-fullerene (NFAs). The application NFAs an A–D–A configuration (where A = acceptor D donor) has enabled devices efficient charge generation small energy losses (Eloss < 0.6 eV), resulting in substantially higher power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) than FA-based devices. discovery Y6-type (Y6 2,2′-((2Z,2′Z)-((12,13-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-3,9-diundecyl-12,13-dihydro-[1,2,5]-thiadiazolo[3,4-e]-thieno[2″,3″:4′,5′]thieno-[2′,3′:4,5]pyrrolo-[3,2-g]thieno-[2′,3′:4,5]thieno-[3,2-b]indole-2,10-diyl)bis(methanylylidene))bis(5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-2,1-diylidene))dimalononitrile) A–DA′ D–A further propelled the PCEs go beyond 15% due smaller Eloss values (∼0.5 eV) external quantum efficiencies.

Abstract Despite the remarkable progress achieved in recent years, organic photovoltaics (OPVs) still need work to approach delicate balance between efficiency, stability, and cost. Herein, two fully non‐fused electron acceptors, PTB4F PTB4Cl, are developed via a two‐step synthesis from single aromatic units. The introduction of two‐dimensional chain halogenated terminals for these acceptors plays synergistic role optimizing their solid stacking orientation, thus promoting an elongated exciton lifetime fast charge‐transfer rate bulk heterojunction blends. As result, upon blending with PBDB‐TF polymer, has enabled single‐junction OPVs power conversion efficiencies 12.76 %, representing highest values among reported unfused so far.

Abstract With developments in materials, thin‐film processing, fine‐tuning of morphology, and optimization device fabrication, the performance organic solar cells (OSCs) has improved markedly recent years. Designing low‐bandgap materials been a focus order to maximize energy conversion. However, there are only few successful donor developed with near‐infrared (NIR) absorption that well matched existing efficient acceptors. Porphyrin shown great potential as useful building block for constructing due its large conjugated plane strong absorption. Porphyrin‐based have contribute many record‐high efficiencies small molecule, tandem, ternary, flexible, OSC/perovskite hybrid cells. Specifically, non‐fullerene small‐molecule recently high power conversion efficiency 12% using porphyrin. All these validated porphyrin derivatives effective made DPPEZnP‐TRs family best OSC field so far. Here, progress rational design, dynamics, multi‐functional applications starting from 2015 will be highlighted deepen understanding structure–property relationship. Finally, some future directions porphyrin‐based OSCs presented.

Abstract Organic photovoltaics based on non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) show record efficiency of 16 to 17% and increased photovoltage owing the low driving force for interfacial charge-transfer. However, potentially slows down charge generation, leading a tradeoff between voltage current. Here, we disentangle intrinsic charge-transfer rates from morphology-dependent exciton diffusion series polymer:NFA systems. Moreover, establish influence energetics electron hole transfer separately. We demonstrate that timescales remain at few hundred femtoseconds even near-zero force, which is consistent with predicted by Marcus theory in normal region, moderate electronic coupling re-organization energy. Thus, design highly efficient devices, energy offset donor:acceptor interface can be minimized without jeopardizing rate concerns about current-voltage tradeoff.
