Small-Molecule Acceptor Based on the Heptacyclic Benzodi(cyclopentadithiophene) Unit for Highly Efficient Nonfullerene Organic Solar Cells
Abstract
A new nonfullerene small molecule with acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A) structure, namely, NFBDT, based on a heptacyclic benzodi(cyclopentadithiophene) (FBDT) unit using benzo[1,2- b:4,5- b ′]dithiophene as the core unit, was designed and synthesized. Its absorption ability, energy levels, thermal stability, as well as photovoltaic performances were fully investigated. NFBDT exhibits a low optical bandgap of 1.56 eV resulting in wide and efficient absorption that covered the range from 600 to 800 nm, and suitable energy levels as an electron acceptor. With the widely used and successful wide bandgap polymer PBDB-T selected as the electron donor material, an optimized PCE of 10.42% was obtained for the PBDB-T:NFBDT-based device with an outstanding short-circuit current density of 17.85 mA cm –2 under AM 1.5G irradiation (100 mW cm –2 ), which is so far among the highest performance of NF-OSC devices. These results demonstrate that the BDT unit could also be applied for designing NF-acceptors, and the fused-ring benzodi(cyclopentadithiophene) unit is a prospective block for designing new NF-acceptors with excellent performance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
