A record breaking PCE of 12.1% is achieved by incorporating 25 wt% DR3TSBDT into a PTB7-Th:PC<sub>71</sub>BM host matrix.
Considering their superior charge-transfer characteristics, easy tenability of energy levels, and low production cost, organic semiconductors are ideal for photoelectrochemical (PEC) hydrogen production. However, organic-semiconductor-based photoelectrodes have not been extensively explored PEC water-splitting because stability in water. Herein, we report high-performance stable organic-semiconductors photoanodes consisting p-type polymers n-type non-fullerene materials, which is passivated...
Based on the integrated consideration and engineering of both conjugated backbones flexible side chains, solution‐processable polymeric semiconductors consisting a diketopyrrolopyrrole (DPP) backbone finely modulated branching chain ( ε ‐branched chain) are reported. The subtle change in point from alters π−π stacking lamellar distances between polymer backbones, which has significant influence charge‐transport properties turn performances field‐effect transistors (FETs). In addition to...
The introduction of fluorine (F) atoms onto conjugated polymer backbone has verified to be an effective way enhance the overall performance polymer-based bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells, but underlying working principles are not yet fully uncovered. As our attempt further understand impact F, herein we have reported two novel fluorinated analogues PCDTBT, namely, PCDTFBT (1F) and PCDT2FBT (2F), through inclusion either one or F into benzothiadiazole (BT) unit characterization their...

Benzothiadiazole-based solid additives have been designed as morphology controllers leading to enhanced power conversion efficiency and reduced device-to-device variations in small- large-areas single cells.
Over the past few years, one of most remarkable advances in field polymer solar cells (PSCs) has been development fluorinated 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BT)-based polymers that lack solid working principles previous designs, but boost power conversion efficiency.
