Abstract

Five polymer donors with distinct chemical structures and different electronic properties are surveyed in a planar and narrow-bandgap fused-ring electron acceptor (IDIC)-based organic solar cells, which exhibit power conversion efficiencies of up to 11%.

Keywords: fused ring electron acceptors; nonfullerene acceptors; organic solar cells; wide-bandgap polymer donors.
