Small‐Molecule Solar Cells with Simultaneously Enhanced Short‐Circuit Current and Fill Factor to Achieve 11% Efficiency
Abstract
High‐efficiency small‐molecule‐based organic photovoltaics (SM‐OPVs) using two electron donors (p‐DTS(FBTTh2)2 and ZnP) with distinctively different absorption and structural features are reported. Such a combination works well and synergically improves device short‐circuit current density (Jsc) to 17.99 mA cm−2 and fill factor (FF) to 77.19%, yielding a milestone efficiency of 11%. To the best of our knowledge, this is the highest power conversion efficiency reported for SM‐OPVs to date and the first time to combine high Jsc over 17 mA cm−2 and high FF over 77% into one SM‐OPV. The strategy of using multicomponent materials, with a selecting role of balancing varied electronic and structural necessities can be an important route to further developing higher performance devices. This development is important, which broadens the dimension and versatility of existing materials without much chemistry input.
