Abstract

Read online

Recently, the non-fullerene acceptors with fused rings enable high-efficiency organic solar cells but they are not ideal in terms of synthetic cost and yield. Here, Huang et al. report ‘less fused’ acceptors with non-covalent S⋅⋅⋅O interactions and solar cell efficiency of up to 13%.
