Shortwave infrared (SWIR) sensing has various applications, including night vision, remote sensing, and medical imaging. SWIR organic photodetectors (OPDs) offer advantages such as flexibility, cost-effectiveness, tunable properties; however, lower sensitivity limited spectral coverage compared to inorganic counterparts are major drawbacks. Here, we propose a simple yet effective widely applicable strategy extend the wavelength detection range of OPD longer wavelength, using resonant optical...

Fused-ring core nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs), designated "Y-series," have enabled high-performance organic solar cells (OSCs) achieving over 18% power conversion efficiency (PCE). Since the introduction of these NFAs, much effort has been expended to understand reasons for their exceptional performance. While several studies identified key optoelectronic properties that govern high PCEs, little is known about molecular level origins large variations in performance, spanning from 5% PCE,...
