Abstract

In this work, an effectual strategy of constructing polar small molecule acceptors (SMAs) to promote fill factor (FF) of nonfullerene polymer solar cells (PSCs) is first reported. Three asymmetrical SMAs of IDT6CN, IDT6CN-Th, and IDT6CN-M, which own large dipole moments, are designed and synthesized. The PSCs based on three polar SMAs exhibit apparently higher FFs compared with their symmetrical analogues. The asymmetrical design strategy accompanied with side chain and end group engineering makes IDT6CN-Th- and IDT6CN-M-based nonfullerene PSCs achieve high power conversion efficiency with FFs approaching 77%.
