Tailoring non-fullerene acceptors using selenium-incorporated heterocycles for organic solar cells with over 16% efficiency
Abstract
The selenium substitution strategy was applied to develop two new A′-DAD-A′-type small molecular acceptors. The resulting selenium-incorporated molecules exhibit red-shifted absorption and an enhanced photon response, leading to high device efficiencies of over 16%.
