Highly efficient and stable binary and ternary organic solar cells using polymerized nonfused ring electron acceptors.

ABSTRACT: This study reports the successful design and synthesis of two novel polymerized nonfused ring electron acceptors, P-2BTh and P-2BTh-F, derived from the high-performance nonfused ring electron acceptor, 2BTh-2F. Prepared via Stille polymerization, these polymers feature thiophene and fluorinated thiophene as π-bridge units. Notably, P-2BTh-F, with difluorothiophene as the π-bridge, exhibits a more planar backbone and red-shifted absorption spectrum compared with P-2BTh. When employed in organic solar cells (OSCs) with PBDB-T as the donor material, P-2BTh-F-based devices demonstrate an outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of over 11%, exceeding the 8.7% achieved by P-2BTh-based devices. Furthermore, all-polymer solar cells utilizing PBDB-T:<
