Abstract

A well-organized donor-acceptor crystalline structure is examined for high -performance nonfullerene solar cells. By thermal annealing, nanoscale structures of both donor and acceptor domains are successfully modulated, followed by -significant changes in the resulting -photovoltaic characteristics. When annealed at 90 °C, a maximum power conversion efficiency of 7.64% with a -remarkable open-circuit voltage of 1.03 V is obtained.

Keywords: fullerene-free devices; nonfullerene acceptors; semicrystalline photovoltaic materials; thermal annealing.
