“…[ 10 ] Notably, n‐type organic semiconductors are attractive options for the CILs, owing to their advantages of relatively high electron affinity and high electron mobility. Therefore, a series of n‐type organic materials have been developed for the effective CILs, including functional fullerenes, [ 11,12 ] n‐doped carbon nanotubes and graphenes, [ 13 ] organosilica nanodots, [ 14 ] naphthalene diimides (NDIs), [ 15–19 ] perylene‐diimides (PDIs), [ 20–28 ] and osmapentalynes. [ 29,30 ] Among them, the PDI‐based small molecules stand out for their low synthesis costs and high‐performance.…”

Organic solar cells (OSCs) have experienced rapid progress with the innovation of near‐infrared (NIR)‐absorbing small‐molecular acceptors (SMAs), while the unique electronic properties of the SMAs raise new challenges in relation to cathode engineering for effective electron collection. To address this issue, two fluorinated perylene‐diimides (PDIs), PDINN‐F and PDINN‐2F, are synthesized by a simple fluorination method, for application as cathode interlayer (CIL) materials. The two bay‐fluorinated PDI‐based CILs possess a lower lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level of ≈−4.0 eV, which improves the energy level alignment at the NIR‐SMAs (such as BTP‐eC9)/CIL for a favorable electron extraction efficiency. The monofluorinated PDINN‐F shows higher electron mobility and better improved interfacial compatibility. The PDINN‐F‐based OSCs with PM6:BTP‐eC9 as active layer exhibit an enhanced fill factor and larger short‐circuit current density, leading to a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) exceeding 18%. The devices with PDINN‐F CIL retain more than 80% of their initial PCE after operating at the maximum power point under continuous illumination for 750 h. This work prescribes a facile, cost‐effective, and scalable method for the preparation of stable, high‐performance fluorinated CILs, and instilling promise for the NIR‐SMAs‐based OSCs moving forward.

“…Moreover, the three-dimensional (3D) images showed that PBDBÀ T:PDI2SeÀ FT blends contained more nanoscale phase sizes than the other two acceptors based ones, which can contribute to the better photovoltaic performance. [74,75] The AFM and TEM images (Figure S7) showed that PBDBÀ T: PDI2SeÀ FT blends based devices display obvious fiber network morphology compared with those of the other two compounds, which is more conducive to exciton dissociation and charge transport, leading to better photovoltaic performance. [76] This matched well with the higher electron mobility and exciton dissociation efficiency of PBDBÀ T:PDI2SeÀ FT blends based devices.…”

Inspired by the advantages of heteroatoms introducing and molecular structure symmetry-breaking in construction of nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs), in this contribution, we designed and synthesized three asymmetric perylene diimide (PDI) based acceptors by annulating a selenophene and/or fusing a thiophene ring at the bay position. Using commercially purchased PBDBÀ T as electron donor, a best power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 5.32 % was achieved for selenophene-annulated PDI (PDI2À Se), while higher PCE of 6.10 % was obtained for the thiophene fused one (PDI2À FT). Interestingly, PDI2SeÀ FT, in which the S and Se atoms introduced simultaneously, showed the best photovoltaic performance among the three asymmetric NFAs with an optimal PCE of 6.96 %. This result demonstrates that incorporation of diverse heteroatoms at the bay positions to construct asymmetric configuration is a robust design strategy for high performance PDI-based NFAs.

Organic solar cells (OSCs), benefiting from their significant advantages, such as light weight, flexibility, low cost, and large area manufacturing adaptability, are considered promising clean energy technologies. Currently, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of state-of-the-art OSCs has reached over 18% through materials and device engineering. Specifically, cathode engineering with cathode interlayer materials (CIMs) is an important strategy to improve the PCEs and stability of OSCs. Among various CIMs reported in the literature, perylene diimides (PDIs) are more appropriate for working as cathode interlayers in OSCs owing to their distinct advantages of suitable energy levels, high electron affinity, high electron mobility, and facile modification. In this review, the mechanism of cathode engineering is concisely summarized, and recent research progress on PDI derivatives working as CIMs in OSCs is systematically reviewed. Finally, prospects and suggestions are provided for the development of PDI-based CIMs for practical applications.
