Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>By combining the molecular donor p‐DTS(FBTTh₂)₂ with a readily produced perylene diimide acceptor we are able to achieve a power conversion efficiency of 3.0%</bold>, making this one of the most efficient non‐fullerene organic solar cells to date. The reduced power conversion efficiency of the present system compared to the use of phenyl‐C₇₁‐butyric acid methyl ester as an electron acceptor is shown to primarily be related to a significant reduction in the internal quantum efficiency. These results indicate the potential of small‐molecule:non‐fullerene bulk‐heterojunction organic photovoltaics. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg36gxzw5x" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
