Article Abstract
Organic solar cells (OSCs) have achieved remarkable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of over 19 % in the past few years due to the rapid development of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). However, the operational stability remains a great challenge that inhibits their commercialization. Recently, oligomeric NFAs (ONFAs) have attracted great attention, which not only can deliver excellent device performance, but also improve the thermal-/photo- stability of OSCs. This is attributed to the suppressed molecular diffusion of ONFAs associated with their high glass-transition temperature (T) and improved thermodynamic properties of ONFAs. Herein, we focus on investigating the correction between the ONFA chemical structure, material properties, device performance, and stability. In addition, we also try to point out the challenges in synthesizing ONFAs and provide potential directions for future ONFA designs.

The dielectric constant ( ) of non-fullerene acceptors is a key parameter in organic solar cells, significantly influencing exciton dissociation efficiency and charge recombination dynamics. Substituting bromine, characterized by moderate electronegativity and high polarizability, at the -benzodipyrrole core of acceptors effectively modulates their optical properties, molecular packing, and dielectric constants. The asymmetric monobrominated CBrB-Cl acceptor exhibits a more red-shifted absorption spectrum, enhanced crystallinity, and a higher of 3.

Three novel Y-series NFAs (HSi, FSi, ClSi) with 2D side chain modifications were synthesized to study effects on photovoltaic performance. Halogenation altered molecular packing and energy levels, impacting efficiency. HSi exhibits balanced crystallinity and stacking, resulting in a reduction of non-radiative energy loss to 0.

Traditional fullerene-based acceptors in organic solar cells (OSCs) suffer from limitations such as poor tunability, narrow absorption spectra, and limited morphological stability, restricting further improvements in device efficiency. To address these challenges, non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) with tunable energy levels and broad optical absorption have gained increasing attention. In this study, seven novel phthalimide core-based donor-acceptor molecules (BPDM1-BPDM7) are computationally designed by modifying the terminal units of a reference molecule (BPDF).

A series of novel discotic liquid crystalline donor-acceptor hybrid heterojunctions were prepared by blending the triphenylene derivative (T5E36) as donor and perylene tetracarboxylic esters as acceptor. Mesophases of blends were characterized by using polarized optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction. Results suggest that all the blends formed liquid crystalline phases, where both compounds in the blends self-assembled separately into columns yet cooperatively contributed to the overall hexagonal or tetragonal columnar mesophase structure.

The ability to control the morphology of organic semiconductor nanoparticles is of paramount importance for applications in organic photovoltaics, photocatalysis, and photo-triggered biological applications. In this paper, we demonstrate that nanoprecipitation is a powerful technique to provide a variety of morphologies in binary blends of organic semiconductors. By investigating seven different donor : acceptor couples we demonstrate that the resulting morphology is primarily governed by the interfacial tension between the two photo-active components.
