In this study we used convergent syntheses to prepare two novel acceptor–donor–acceptor
(A–D–A) small molecules (BT4OT, BT6OT), each containing an electron-rich …

Fused-ring electron acceptors (FREAs) have attracted immense interest owing to their ability
for facile structural modification and good thermal and optical characteristics. Among these …

Emerging unfused‐ring acceptors (UFAs) have been explored in pursuit of low‐cost high‐

Achieving desirable charge‐transport highway is of vital importance for high‐performance
organic solar cells (OSCs). Here, it is shown how molecular packing arrangements can be …

Multi-directional fused-ring electron acceptors (FREAs) feature a fused-ring backbone that
extends in multiple directions through bridging and acceptor units. This unique structural …

Among the blended components of a photoactive layer in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells,
the acceptor is of high importance. This importance is attributed to its increased ability to …

In recent years, power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs) has made
significant improvement. A large number of studies were reported to achieve high PCEs …

Linear small molecules have been proved to be promising donor materials for high
performance small molecular solar cells (SMSCs). In this paper, a series of narrow-band …
