Non-fullerene organic molecule acceptors have been the hot research subject to drive the efficiency of the organic solar cells higher, but their synthetic costs are high. Here Li et al. design a simplified synthetic route for the state-of-the-art acceptors and bring down their cost by more than 15%.
