Abstract
From ~1500 published journal papers on organic photovoltaics (OPVs), we extracted OPV performance parameters of power conversion efficiency (PCE), open circuit voltage (VOC) and short circuit current density (JSC) and chemical structures of photovoltaic layer materials to investigate the relation between the extracted data of OPVs accompanied by non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). Our analysis indicated that there was a suitable range of VOC for high PCE or JSC in NFAs. We also investigated the correlation between the performance parameters and chemical structures of small molecule NFAs. Our approach may enable us to provide new design strategy for high performance OPVs.
Multi-component organic photovoltaics (OPVs), e.g., ternary blends, are effective for high performance, while the fundamental understanding from the molecular to device level is less-known. To address this issue, we here...
Improving the morphology of bulk heterojunction active layers remains a primary challenge for organic photovoltaics (OPVs), and much research has been devoted to achieving this through modifying OPV casting solutions...
While it is widely recognized that microstructure plays an important role in the performance of organic photovoltaics (OPV), systematic studies are often challenging, as varying the molecular packing through typical...
