Attributed to the strategy of multi-component, organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have achieved power conversion efficiencies (PCE) of over 19%. Small-molecule based non-fullerene acceptors (NFA) having large-fused core structures are widely used as guest acceptors to form the ternary OPV. In contrast, the study based on the unfused-ring NFA as guest acceptors for ternary OPVs is still lacked, even though it has some advantages such as simplifying the synthetic process and reducing the cost. Herein, we reported a series of unfused-ring central core derived NFAs with the structure of the naphthobisthiadiazole (or derivative) unit and cyclopenta[2,1-b:3,4-b']dithiophene unit, and used malononitrile, 2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile and 2-(5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile as terminal group. The strong intermolecular interaction of these NFA limited their performance in binary OPV. Nevertheless, they behave well as the third component and promoted the performance of the PM6:Y6-based ternary OPV over 16% which is outperformed the PM6:Y6 devices. It attributed that the NFA provided complementary absorption and allowed fine-tuning of the blend morphology, resulting in suppression of charge recombination and improvements in charge generation and collection. We observed that these NFAs incorporating various end groups that displayed different interactions with the Y6 and affected the open-circuit voltage of respective devices. Our study might benefit further understanding the complex mechanism of ternary OPV that is governed by the nanomorphology and energetics. We demonstrated that the unfused-ring core based NFAs as a guest acceptor had a great potential in achieving high-performance ternary OPVs.

nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
