Conjugated backbone optimization of an all-fused-ring acceptor for efficient and stable organic solar cells

Chem Commun (Camb). 2024 Jun 11;60(48):6206-6209. doi: 10.1039/d4cc00902a.

Abstract

Three all-fused-ring acceptors with different conjugated backbone are designed as acceptor materials for organic solar cells. It is found that the horizontally extended conjugation of all-fused-ring acceptors leads to better photovoltaic performance compared to the vertically extended analogue. The results provide a guideline for designing high-performance and stable all-fused-ring acceptor materials.
