Abstract

Research on asymmetric A–D–A structured non-fullerene acceptors has lagged far behind the development of symmetric counterpart. In this contribution, by simply replacing one sulfur atom in indacenodithiophene unit with a selenium atom, an asymmetric building block SePT and a corresponding asymmetric non-fullerene acceptor SePT-IN have been developed. Asymmetric SePT-IN achieved a high efficiency of 10.20% in organic solar cells when blended with PBT1-C, much higher than that of symmetric TPT-IN counterpart (8.91%). Our results demonstrated an effective heteroatom substitution strategy to develop asymmetric A–D–A structured non-fullerene acceptors.
