Double-cable conjugated polymers with pendent electron acceptors, including fullerene, rylene diimides, and nonfused acceptors, have been developed for application in single-component organic solar cells (SCOSCs) with efficiencies approaching 10%. In this work, Y-series electron acceptors have been firstly incorporated into double-cable polymers in order to further improve the efficiencies of SCOSCs. A highly crystalline Y-series acceptor based on quinoxaline core and the random copolymerized strategy are used to optimize the ambipolar charge transport and the nanophase separation of the double-cable polymers. As a result, an efficiency of 13.02% is obtained in the random double-cable polymer, representing the highest performance in SCOSCs, while the regular double-cable polymer only provides a low efficiency of 2.75%. The significantly enhanced efficiencies are attributed to higher charge carrier mobilities, better ordering conjugated backbones and Y-series acceptors in random double-cable polymers.

Photocatalytic production of hydrogen peroxide (HO) is being extensively explored as a cleaner route to one of the most consumed oxidants. In this context, precisely designed organic semiconductor polymers have only recently been recognized as promising photocatalysts. Contributing to this emerging area, herein, we present the potential of a donor-acceptor (D-A) covalent conjugate of polythiophene (PTh) and perylene diimide (PDI) as an all-organic photocatalyst for the artificial photosynthesis of HO.

A newly designed C-symmetric disc-shaped chromophore, , features electron accepting naphthalene diimides linked to an electron donor BTT core. self-assembles in apolar solvents into highly ordered, chiral supramolecular fibers through π-π and 3-fold hydrogen-bonding interactions. This leads to a cooperative formation of plane-to-plane stacking of BTTs and J-aggregation of the outer NDIs.

Single-component organic solar cells based on double cable polymers have achieved remarkable performance, with DCPY2 reaching a high efficiency of over 13%. In this study, DCPY2 is further optimized with an efficiency of 13.85%, maintaining a high fill factor (FF) without compromising the short circuit current.

The invention of near-infrared pedant-based double-cable conjugated polymers has demonstrated remarkable efficacy in single-component organic solar cells (SCOSCs). This work focuses on the innovative double-cable conjugated polymers aimed at attaining good absorption and suitable energy levels. Specifically, in the aromatic side units, the electron-donating (D) part is designed using a thieno[3,4-]pyrrole-4,6-dione (TPD) as a core unit, flanked by two cyclopentadithiophene groups on either side.
