Highly efficient fused ring electron acceptors based on a new undecacyclic core†
Abstract
Two FREAs, IUIC-O and IUIC-T, based on an undecacyclic core were developed. IUIC-T having a higher extinction coefficient affords aligned energy levels with PBDB-T, finer nanoscale morphology and more orderly molecular stacking, thus achieving more efficient exciton dissociation and charge transport. Therefore, the PBDB-T:IUIC-T based OSC gains a higher PCE of 13.05%.
