Although fullerenes and their derivatives, such as PCBM, have been the dominant electron-
acceptor materials in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), they suffer from some …

Organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) are a promising cost-effective alternative to silicon-based
solar cells, and possess light-weight, low-cost, and flexibility advantages. Significant …

The majority of organic semiconductors have a low relative dielectric constant (εr< 6), which
is an important limitation for organic solar cells (OSCs). A high dielectric constant would …

Organic electronics are broadly anticipated to impact the development of flexible thin-film
device technologies. Among these, solution-processable π-conjugated polymers and small …

We report an efficiency of 6.1% for a solution-processed non-fullerene solar cell using a
helical perylene diimide (PDI) dimer as the electron acceptor. Femtosecond transient …

Perylene-3, 4, 9, 10-tetracarboxylic acid diimides (PDIs) and their derivatives represent one
of the most promising class of electron accepting materials, due to their outstanding …

DOI: 10.1002/aenm. 201602269 are mainly due to the higher LUMO of–3.74 eV (ICBA) and–
3.72 eV (IC70BM) compared with that of PC61BM (–3.91 eV). However, further improvement …

Organic, planar, and electron deficient small molecules were utilized as acceptors in the first
reported bilayer heterojunction solar cells, however, current state-of-the-art organic …

Fullerene-free and processing additive-free 8.5% efficient polymer solar cells are achieved
by using a new 3, 4-ethylenedioxythiophene-linked arylene diimide dimer with a 76 twist …

The design, synthesis, and characterization of the first examples of furan-containing low
band-gap polymers, PDPP2FT and PDPP3F, with substantial power conversion efficiencies …
