Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en" id="aenm201400420-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>A novel solution‐processable twisted dimeric perylene diimide (IDT‐2PDI) with a bulky fused‐ring indacenodithiophene</bold> as a bridge is developed as an electron acceptor for organic solar cells (OSCs). Poly(3‐hexylthiophene) (P3HT):IDT‐2PDI based OSCs have power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) up to 2.61% with a high fill factor of 0.668, and benzodithiophene‐diketopyrrolopyrrole (BDT‐2DPP):IDT‐2PDI based OSCs exhibit a promising PCE of 3.12%. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgh1c9n6dj0" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
