Abstract
Simultaneously broadening the spectral response and reducing the energy loss are challenging tasks in the material design of organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, a novel asymmetrically noncovalently fused-ring electron acceptor (NFEA) with unilateral alkylthio-substituted thiophene π-bridge, namely IDST-4F, is synthesized. IDST-4F exhibits a broader absorption, higher-lying energy levels, larger dipole moments and suppressed crystallinity than its symmetric counterpart (ID-4F) without the π-bridge. Compared to the devices of PM6:ID-4F, the optimized PM6:IDST-4F-based devices display simultaneously enhanced current density and photovoltage, resulting in an excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 14.3%, which is the highest value among the OSCs based on NFEAs reported in the literature to date. More importantly, the PM6:IDST-4F-based OSCs possess excellent thermal stability with 82% of the initial PCE after thermal treatment at 150 °C for 1200 min. In summary, this study indicates that asymmetrically NFEAs are promising to achieve high efficiency with excellent thermal stability.
