Abstract
Besides broadening of the absorption spectrum, modulating molecular energy levels, and other well-studied properties, a stronger intramolecular electron push-pull effect also affords other advantages in nonfullerene acceptors. A strong push-pull effect improves the dipole moment of the wings in IT-4F over IT-M and results in a lower miscibility than IT-M when blended with PBDB-TF. This feature leads to higher domain purity in the PBDB-TF:IT-4F blend and makes a contribution to the better photovoltaic performance. Moreover, the strong push-pull effect also decreases the vibrational relaxation, which makes IT-4F more promising than IT-M in reducing the energetic loss of organic solar cells. Above all, a power conversion efficiency of 13.7% is recorded in PBDB-TF:IT-4F-based devices.
