Molecular Depiction of Organic Emerging Photovoltaic Material (IMAGE)
Caption
A non-intuitive, minuscule chemical tweak allows two molecular components to fit together in a way that boosts the conversion of light into electricity. The yellow component has undergone the tweak. It is comprised of a non-fullerene acceptor (NFA), which receives electrons from the blue component, an electron donor. Thanks to the same chemical tweak, the two molecular components are also well-packed in the material to facilitate the conduction of electrons to neighboring electrodes (not shown).
