Abstract

A novel nonplanar star-shaped perylene diimide acceptor with a triphenylamine core (S(TPA-PDI)) is explored and applied in solution-processed organic solar cells. These solar cells exhibit an encouraging power conversion efficiency of up to 3.32%.

Keywords: heterojunctions; non-fullerene acceptor; organic electronics; perylene diimide; solar cells.
