The charge transfer (CT) mechanism at the donor/acceptor (D/A) interface plays an irreplaceable role in the photoelectric conversion of efficient bulk‐heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells (OSCs), which affects the resulting competition between charge separation and charge recombination. Extensive CT studies have preferred monoadduct fullerene derivatives (M60, M70) due to their unique spherical geometry with fewer factors to consider. However, the effect of carbon cage size, substituent group properties and the number of CT properties have not been much discussed. Here, sulfur‐containing bisadducts (B60, B70) were selected to explore whether they are also suitable for CT research like classical monoadducts. Using density functional theory and time‐dependent density functional theory, interface stacking configuration, key parameters relevant to CT states, charge separation, and recombination rates were determined to confirm the characteristics of B60 and B70 as a good acceptor applied to interfacial research. This work points to the CT mechanism along the route of DA → D*A → D+A− through a theoretical analysis and also provides candidates for the theoretical interface photoelectric process in BHJ OSCs: bisadduct fullerene derivatives as good acceptor materials.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
