16.55% efficiency ternary organic solar cells enabled by incorporating a small molecular donor

TL;DR: In this paper, a small molecule donor, SM1, was introduced into the PM6:Y6 binary system where a high PCE of up to 16.55% was achieved after the addition of 15 wt% of SM1 in the donors with an open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.845 V, a Jsc of 25.3 mA cm−2, and a FF of 73.7%.

Intrinsic photo-degradation and mechanism of polymer solar cells: the crucial role of non-fullerene acceptors

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) on polymer solar cells (PSCs) long-term stability were investigated, and it was shown that ITIC at the interface of the ZnO/active film is readily decomposed by a photocatalytic reaction; this poor stability arises because the vinyl group of ITIC is chemically more vulnerable than the stable aromatic units in the organic active materials.

Nonfused Nonfullerene Acceptors with an A-D-A'-D-A Framework and a Benzothiadiazole Core for High-Performance Organic Solar Cells.

TL;DR: This work reports two non-fused NFAs, BTCIC and BTCIC-4Cl, based on an A-D-A'- D-A architecture, which possess the same electron-deficient benzothiadiazole central core but different electron-withdrawing terminal groups.
