Summary: The power conversion efficiencies of organic solar cells have been greatly improved with the rapid development of non-fullerene acceptors in recent years, especially using benzothiadiazole as an important electron-accepting unit. By judicious molecular engineering, the optoelectronic properties of BT-based small molecules can be efficiently modulated to achieve high-efficiency photovoltaic devices. The highest PCE reached up to 18% due to the emergence of fused-BT-based molecule Y6, which has promoted the rapid progress of OSCs since 2019.

Summary: In this study, four two-dimensional non-fullerene acceptors were designed and synthesized based on two new fused planar ring structures of f-DTBDT-C6 and f-DTTBDT. Devices based on PM6:D6-4F achieved high VOC = 0.91 V, PCE = 11.10%, FF = 68.54%, and JSC = 17.75 mA/cm2, due to the desirable phase separation in the blend films and higher energy levels induced by the extra alkyl groups. DTT-4F and DTT-4Cl, with longer pi-conjugation of the f-DTTBDT core, exhibited high molar extinction coefficients and broad absorption bands, enhancing the current density of organic solar cells. Finally, PM6:DTT-4F-based devices achieved a JSC = 19.82 mA/cm2 with PCE = 9.68%, VOC = 0.83 V, and FF = 58.85%.

Summary: Two benzotrithiophene-based two-dimensional non-fullerene acceptors with fused-ring and unfused-ring structures were designed and synthesized to investigate their impact on the performance of organic solar cells. The unfused-ring acceptor exhibited a red-shifted absorption, reduced optical bandgap, and higher and more balanced electron mobility compared to the fused-ring acceptor, resulting in a higher efficiency in photovoltaic devices. This molecular design strategy holds promise for developing efficient non-fullerene acceptors for high-performance organic solar cells.

Summary: Two lowly fused non-fullerene acceptors, BTP-out-4F and BTP-in-4F, were developed with isomeric structures. BTP-out-4F exhibited larger steric hindrance and maintained free rotation between the central core and thiophene bridge, while BTP-in-4F had lower rotation freedom due to non-covalent interactions. These differences in structure and properties led to distinct photovoltaic performances, with BTP-out-4F achieving a much higher PCE compared to BTP-in-4F.

Summary: Doping and blending strategies are crucial for controlling excited states and energy levels in conjugated molecular systems. However, effective models and platforms to explore the effects of trapped doped centers on heterogeneous structures and photophysical processes are rarely proposed. In this study, a supramolecular N-B coordination was designed to investigate the impact of molecular doping on film energy levels and photoexcitation dynamics. The results showed that the coordination bond increased N atoms' binding energy and tuned the band-gap, resulting in a new fluorescent emission center with longer excitation and emission wavelengths. The blending films exhibited inconsistent fluorescent behaviors compared to solution due to intermolecular Forster resonance energy transfer. Additionally, the charge transfer state and changed dielectric constant caused a red-shift in the photoluminescence spectra with increased dopant ratio, enabling wide-tunable fluorescent color. The excited state behaviors of the compounds in blending system were further studied using transient absorption spectroscopy. It was found that supramolecular coordination blending effectively improved the photoluminescence quantum yield and conductivity of the films. This exploration in coordination mechanisms provides insights into doped semiconductors and facilitates the development of high-efficient fluorescent systems.
