Both fluorine and ester substituted monothiophene yielded a novel thiophene derivative FE-T. The resulting polymer donor S1 enabled single-junction non-fullerene solar cell with over 16% efficiency.
Recent advances in the development of polymerized A-D-A-type small-molecule acceptors (SMAs) have promoted power conversion efficiency (PCE) all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) over 13%. However, monomer an SMA typically consists a mixture three isomers due to regio-isomeric brominated end groups (IC-Br(in) and IC-Br(out)). In this work, two isomeric are successfully separated, regioisomeric issue is solved, polymer acceptors, named PY-IT, PY-OT, PY-IOT, developed, where PY-IOT random...

Abstract Developing a high-performance donor polymer is critical for achieving efficient non-fullerene organic solar cells (OSCs). Currently, most high-efficiency OSCs are based on named PM6, unfortunately, whose performance highly sensitive to its molecular weight and thus has significant batch-to-batch variations.
