In this paper, a new perylene diimide (PDI)-based acceptor Me-PDI4 with tetrahedral configuration (or 3D) has been synthesized and characterized. Solution-processed organic solar cells (OSCs) based on Me-PDI4 have been investigated and our results show that the device performance can reach as high as 2.73%. Our new design with tetrahedral configuration (or 3D) could be an efficient approach to increase the PCE of OSCs with non-fullerene acceptors.

• New advances in non-fullerene acceptor based organic solar cells (2015, methodology): “73% as using PBDTTT-C-T as the donor polymer.(108) Comparisons of the PCE values achieved from the trimer and tetramer of PDI and those from the PDI dimer, it seems that PDI dimer can give a higher cell performance when blending with the same donor molecule.”
