Abstract Polymorphism of organic semiconducting materials exerts critical effects on their physical properties such as optical absorption, emission and electrical conductivity, provides an excellent platform for investigating structure–property relations. It is, however, challenging to efficiently tune the polymorphism conjugated polymers in aggregated, semi-crystalline phases due conformational freedom anisotropic nature. Here, two distinctly different polymorphs ( β 1 2 ) a low-bandgap...
Donor-acceptor polymers with an alternating array of donor and acceptor moieties have gained particular attention during recent years as active components organic electronics. By implementation suitable subunits within the conjugated backbone, these can be made either electron-deficient or -rich. Additionally, their band gap light absorption precisely tuned for improved light-harvesting in solar cells. On other hand, polymer design also modified to encode desired supramolecular self-assembly...

Molecular acceptors are promising alternatives to fullerenes (e.g., PC61/71BM) in the fabrication of high-efficiency bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. While solution-processed polymer–fullerene BHJ devices have recently met 10% efficiency threshold, molecular yet prove comparably efficient with polymer donors. At this point time, it is important forge a better understanding design parameters that directly impact small-molecule (SM) acceptor performance In report, we show...

Abstract Currently, morphology optimization methods for the fused‐ring nonfullerene acceptor‐based polymer solar cells (PSCs) empirically follow treatments originally developed in fullerene‐based systems, being unable to meet diverse molecular structures and strong crystallinity of acceptors. Herein, a new universal controlling method is by applying volatilizable anthracene as solid additive. The offers possibility restrict over aggregation acceptor process film formation.
