Summary: This study emphasizes the importance of minimizing the absorption overlap between the donor and acceptor in all-small-molecule organic solar cells for achieving high current densities. By selecting porphyrin unit-based small molecules with absorption ranges different from the nonfullerene acceptor IDIC, it is possible to enhance the power conversion efficiency of the devices.

Summary: The characteristics of small molecules in all-small-molecule organic solar cells (ASM OSCs), such as well-defined chemical structure and excellent reproducibility between batches, have attracted great attention. However, balancing the aggregation behaviors of small molecules is a challenge, limiting the further development of ASM OSCs' efficiency. The asymmetric ending group strategy has been successfully employed in non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). Inspired by this, two asymmetric and symmetric small molecule donors, Por-DPP-TR and PTR, were synthesized. The efficiency of ASM OSCs reached 16.31%, ranking as one of the highest PCEs.

Summary: This study develops a dual-additive-driven morphology optimization method for all-small-molecule organic solar cells (ASM-OSCs). By incorporating 1,4-diiodobenzene (DIB) and diiodomethane (DIM) as additives, the intermolecular interactions and acceptor phase separation can be modulated, while the over-aggregation of the donor is suppressed. The optimized ASM-OSC device achieves a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.2%, one of the highest PCE reported for binary ASM-OSCs without solvent annealing treatment. This work demonstrates the potential of morphology tuning via the incorporation of dual additives into ASM-OSCs, enabling comparable efficiencies to those of conventional polymer/small-molecule based OSCs.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of sidechains on morphology and device performance in all-small-molecule organic solar cells by using three non-fullerene acceptors. The results show that acceptors with spatially orthogonal alkyl chains can improve crystalline packing and increase power conversion efficiency, while acceptors with alternating sidechains may deteriorate device performance by disrupting the original packing of the donor/acceptor blend.

Summary: In this study, two new small molecule donors SW1 and SW2 were designed and synthesized using thiophene and thiazole substituents as side groups. The all-small-molecule (ASM) organic solar cells (OSCs) based on SW2 showed a significantly improved power conversion efficiency of 15.51%, larger open-circuit voltage, and fill factor compared to SW1. Further investigation revealed that thiazole acts as an excellent building block for optimizing energy levels, molecular stacking, and microscopic morphologies in ASM systems, resulting in highly efficient ASM-OSCs.

Summary: This study synthesized and characterized two small-molecule donors, BDT-IDTT-ORH and BDT-C8IDTT-ORH, based on highly fused indacenodithiophene (IDTT). The different side chains of these molecules led to different crystallinities in the film state. These two synthesized molecules showed absorption in the long wavelength range and demonstrated potential as small-molecule donors in donor:Y6 blend for SM-OSCs. The BDT-C8IDTT-ORH:Y6 blend exhibited the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.33% due to its tighter molecular packing compared to the BDT-IDTT-ORH blend.

Summary: All-small-molecule organic solar cells (ASM OSCs) are promising for commercial application due to their well-defined chemical structures and convenient purifying process. However, the similarity of molecule structures between small molecule donors and acceptors makes it difficult to regulate their blend morphology, which limits efficiency. This study demonstrates that altering pi-bridge units can improve film morphology and enhance device performance, providing insights for molecule design and structure-property correlation.

Summary: Asymmetric substitution of end-groups is applied in molecular donors for the first time, resulting in donors with increased dipole moments and enhanced aggregation propensity. Among the asymmetric donors studied, SM-CA-Reh shows the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) and fill factor (FF) when using N3 as the acceptor. Characterization results suggest that the packing morphology of blend films is mainly influenced by π-π interaction rather than dipole effect or crystallinity.

Summary: In this study, three non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) with different end groups (F'-2Cl, F'-NCl, and F'-N2Cl) were designed and synthesized to investigate the impact of molecular structures and morphologies on the photovoltaic properties and energy loss of organic solar cells (OSCs). It was found that the PM6:F'-N2Cl based OSC exhibited a favorable morphology and achieved the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.13% with a J(sc) of 20.31 mA cm(-2), a V-oc of 0.927 V, and a FF of 74.68%. Moreover, extending the conjugation of the end group led to a narrower molecular bandgap and lower energy loss in F'-NCl and F'-N2Cl based devices. This work provides an efficient strategy to optimize the molecular structures of non-fullerene acceptors and improve the properties of OSCs.

Summary: Developing new polymerized small molecular acceptor (PSMA) is crucial for improving the performance of all-polymer solar cells. Two PSMAs (namely PZC16 and PZC17) are reported based on the newly developed CH-series small molecule acceptors. Non-aromatic conjugated units are adopted as the linkers to reduce molecular torsion. The PM6:PZC17-based devices exhibit significantly higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) compared to PM6:PZC16-based devices, and the large area device achieves an excellent PCE of 15.14%, among the top performance for reported all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs).

Summary: The current polymerization process of high-performance polymerized small molecular acceptors (PSMAs) through terminal groups of small molecular acceptors (SMAs) damages the preferred stackings of terminal groups and weakens the photoelectric performance of all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs). To improve intermolecular stackings, a new pathway is explored by extending molecular conjugation in branched directions, resulting in two PSMAs of SP-T and SP-TT. The SP-T-based all-PSC exhibits a significantly improved efficiency of 13.54% compared to the SP-TT-based one with an efficiency of 9.76%, due to more compact/ordered stackings and superior morphology.

Summary: Three non-fullerene acceptors BTP-OC4, BTP-OC6, and BTP-OC8 with different 4-alkyloxyphenyl side-chains were synthesized via a new route without organotin reagent. The length of the alkyloxy group did not affect the energy levels and absorption of the acceptors, but it modulated the crystallinity and morphology of the active layer. The PM6:BTP-OC6 system showed the lowest energy loss of 0.513 eV, the highest power conversion efficiency of 17.59%, and excellent stability. Furthermore, when Y6 was introduced, the PCE increased to over 18%. Our study demonstrates a feasible strategy to develop high-performance acceptors by fine-tuning the aromatic side chain.
