With the emergence of high-performance non-fullerene electron acceptors (NFA), organic photovoltaics (OPV) are particularly appealing as their power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) are approaching 20%. Understanding the fundamentals and identifying the sources of device degradation in photovoltaic devices, while considering green processing, is as crucial as improving the PCEs from the manufacturing and commercialization point of view. In this presentation, I will first talk about the energy level conundrum in organic semiconductors and how to precisely determine the energy levels in order to evaluate and optimise the performance of new materials in OPV. Further, I will share a green solvent identification and processing strategy from renewable feedstocks that can be used for fabricating high performing stable organic electronicsWith the emergence of high-performance non-fullerene electron acceptors (NFA), organic photovoltaics (OPV) are particularly appealing as their power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) are approaching 20%.
