Non-fullerene acceptors for organic photovoltaics: an emerging horizon
Abstract
Although fullerenes and their derivatives, such as PCBM, have been the dominant electron-acceptor materials in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs), they suffer from some disadvantages, such as weak absorption in the visible spectral region, limited spectral breadth and difficulty in variably tuning the band gap. It is necessary to explore non-fullerene electron acceptors that will not only retain the favorable electron-accepting and transporting properties of fullerenes but also overcome their insufficiencies. After a decade of mediocrity, non-fullerene acceptors are undergoing rapid development and are emerging as a hot area of focus in the field of organic semiconductors. Solution-processed bulk heterojunction (BHJ) OPVs based on non-fullerene acceptors have shown encouraging power conversion efficiencies of over 4%. This article reviews recent developments in several classes of solution-processable non-fullerene acceptors for BHJ OPVs. The remaining problems and challenges along with the key research directions in the near future are discussed.

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.
