摘要
We report 4 fused-ring electron acceptors (FREAs) with the same end-groups and side-chains but different cores, whose sizes range from 5 to 11 fused rings. The core size has considerable effects on the electronic, optical, charge transport, morphological, and photovoltaic properties of the FREAs. Extending the core size leads to red-shift of absorption spectra, upshift of the energy levels, and enhancement of molecular packing and electron mobility. From 5 to 9 fused rings, the core size extension can simultaneously enhance open-circuit voltage (V-OC), short-circuit current density (J(SC)), and fill factor (FF) of organic solar cells (OSCs). The best efficiency of the binary-blend devices increases from 5.6 to 11.7%, while the best efficiency of the ternary-blend devices increases from 6.3 to 12.6% as the acceptor core size extends
