Abstract
Lithium ion-endohedral fullerene (Li+@C60), a member of the burgeoning family of ion-endohedral fullerenes, holds substantial promise for diverse applications owing to its distinctive ionic properties. Despite the high demand for precise property tuning through chemical modification, there have been only a few reports detailing synthetic protocols for the derivatization of this novel material. In this study, we report the synthesis of Li+@C60 derivatives via the thermal [2 + 2] cycloaddition reaction of styrene derivatives, achieving significantly higher yields of monofunctionalized Li+@C60 compared to previously reported reactions. Furthermore, by combining experimental and theoretical approaches, we clarified the range of applicable substrates for the thermal [2 + 2] cycloaddition of Li+@C60, highlighting the expanded scope of this straightforward and selective functionalization method.

Theoretical Study on the Diels–Alder Reaction of Fullerenes: Analysis of Isomerism, Aromaticity, and Solvation. ORGANICS 2022.

Abstract
Fullerenes are reactive as dienophiles in Diels–Alder reactions. Their distinctive molecular shape and properties result in interesting and sometimes elusive reaction patterns. Herein, to contribute to the understanding of fullerene reactivity, we evaluate the energies of reactions for Diels–Alder cycloadditions of C60, C70, and IC60MA with anthracene (Ant), by means of DFT computational analysis in vacuum and solution. The methods used showed little differentiation between the reactivity of the different fullerenes. The C70-Ant adducts where addition takes place near the edge of the fullerene were found to be the most stable regioisomers. For the IC60MA-Ant adducts, the calculated energies of reaction increase in the order: equatorial > trans-3 > trans-2 ≈ trans-4 ≈ trans-1 > cis-3 > cis-2. The change in the functional suggests the existence of stabilizing dispersive interactions between the surface of the fullerene and the addends. HOMA (harmonic oscillator model of aromaticity) analysis indicated an increase in aromaticity in the fullerene hexagons adjacent to the bonded addend. This increase is bigger in the rings of bisadduct isomers that are simultaneously adjacent to both addends, which helps explain the extra stability of the equatorial isomers. Solvation by m-xylene decreases the exothermicity of the reactions studied but has little distinguishing effect on the possible isomers. Thermal corrections reduce the exothermicity of the reactions by ~10 kJ∙mol−1.

Abstract
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have progressed steadily through three stages of photoactive materials development: (i) use of poly(3-hexylthiophene) and fullerene-based acceptors (FAs) for optimizing bulk heterojunctions; (ii) development of new donors to better match with FAs; (iii) development of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs). The development and application of NFAs with an A-D-A configuration (where A = acceptor and D = donor) has enabled devices to have efficient charge generation and small energy losses (Eloss < 0.6 eV), resulting in substantially higher power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) than FA-based devices. The discovery of Y6-type acceptors (Y6 = 2,2'-((2Z,2'Z)-((12,13-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-3,9-diundecyl-12,13-dihydro-[1,2,5]-thiadiazolo[3,4-e]-thieno[2″,3″:4',5']thieno-[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo-[3,2-g]thieno-[2',3':4,5]thieno-[3,2-b]indole-2,10-diyl)bis(methanylylidene))bis(5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-2,1-diylidene))dimalononitrile) with an A-DA' D-A configuration has further propelled the PCEs to go beyond 15% due to smaller Eloss values (∼0.5 eV) and higher external quantum efficiencies. Subsequently, the PCEs of Y6-series single-junction devices have increased to >19% and may soon approach 20%. This review provides an update of recent progress of OPV in the following aspects: developments of novel NFAs and donors, understanding of the structure-property relationships and underlying mechanisms of state-of-the-art OPVs, and tasks underpinning the commercialization of OPVs, such as device stability, module development, potential applications, and high-throughput manufacturing. Finally, an outlook and prospects section summarizes the remaining challenges for the further development of OPV technology.

Abstract
Fullerenyltriazoles were synthesized by the interaction of azidofullerene with terminal acetylenes, in which the heterocyclic fragment is directly attached to the fullerene core. The electrochemical studies of the synthesized triazole-containing fullerenes have proved that the potentials of the first reduction peaks are shifted to a less cathodic region compared to unmodified C60. According to theoretical calculations, synthesized fullerene C60 derivatives can be considered as promising acceptor components of organic solar cells.

Abstract
Organic Photovoltaics (OPVs) based on Bulk Heterojunction (BHJ) blends are a mature technology. Having started their intensive development two decades ago, their low cost, processability and flexibility rapidly funneled the interest of the scientific community, searching for new solutions to expand solar photovoltaics market and promote sustainable development. However, their robust implementation is hampered by some issues, concerning the choice of the donor/acceptor materials, the device thermal/photo-stability, and, last but not least, their morphology. Indeed, the morphological profile of BHJs has a strong impact over charge generation, collection, and recombination processes; control over nano/microstructural morphology would be desirable, aiming at finely tuning the device performance and overcoming those previously mentioned critical issues. The employ of compatibilizers has emerged as a promising, economically sustainable, and widely applicable approach for the donor/acceptor interface (D/A-I) optimization. Thus, improvements in the global performance of the devices can be achieved without making use of more complex architectures. Even though several materials have been deeply documented and reported as effective compatibilizing agents, scientific reports are quite fragmentary. Here we would like to offer a panoramic overview of the literature on compatibilizers, focusing on the progression documented in the last decade.

Abstract
Three C70 tetraadducts, 2,10-(MeO)2-5,9-Bn2C70 (6), 1,56-Bn2-2,57-(MeO)2C70 (7, 2 o'clock isomer), and 1,41-Bn2-2,58-(MeO)2C70 (8, 12 o'clock isomer), were obtained from the reaction of C70 with MeO- and BnBr (benzyl bromide). The structures of 6-8 were resolved via single-crystal X-ray diffraction and spectroscopic characterizations. Computational calculations on the electrophilic Fukui functions fk+, the stability of reaction intermediates, and activation barriers for the key processes of the reaction were performed to rationalize the regioselectivity of the reaction. A conversion of the 5 and 12 o'clock intermediates to the 2 o'clock intermediate was proposed to account for the regioselectivity related to the 2-fold additions at the two distinctive polar regions of C70. Electrochemical study showed a similar electron deficiency for the 2 and 12 o'clock isomers, while the 2,5,9,10-tetraadduct was more electron deficient with respect to the 2 and 12 o'clock isomers.

Abstract
The progress of bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) polymer solar cells (PSCs) is closely related to the innovation of photoactive materials (donor and acceptor materials), interface engineering, and device optimization. Especially, the development of the photoactive materials dominates the research filed in the past decades. Photoactive materials are basically classified as p-type organic semiconductor donor (D) and an n-type organic semiconductor acceptor (A). In the past two decades, fullerene derivatives are the dominant acceptors for high efficiency PSCs. Nevertheless, the limited absorption and challenging structural tunability of fullerenes hinder further improve the efficiency of PSCs. Encouragingly, the recent progresses of fused-ring based A-D-A type nonfullerene acceptors exhibit great potential in enhancing the photovoltaic performance of devices, driving the power conversion efficiency to over 13%. Such kind of nonfullerene acceptors is usually based on indacenodithiophene (IDT) or its extending backbone core and end-caped with strong electron-withdrawing group. Owing to the strong push-pulling effects, the acceptors possess strong absorption in the visible-NIR region and low-lying HOMO (highest occupied molecular orbital) level, which can realize both high open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current density of the devices. Moreover, the photo-electronic and aggregative properties of the acceptors can be flexibly manipulated via structural design. Many strategies have been successfully employed to tune the energy levels, absorption features, and aggregation properties of the fused-ring based acceptors. In this review, we will summarize the recent progress in developing highly efficient fused-ring based nonfullerene acceptors. We will mainly focus our discussion on the correlating factors of molecular structures to their absorption, molecular energy levels, and photovoltaic performance. It is envisioned that an analysis of the relationship between molecular structures and photovoltaic properties would contribute to a better understanding of this kind of acceptors for high-efficiency PSCs.

Abstract
C2 v-Symmetric octaalkoxyfullerenes, C60(OR)8 (R = CH3, C2H5, CH2CF3), were synthesized by reacting octabromofullerene with the corresponding alcohols in the presence of AgBF4. The reactions occurred with no change in the addition pattern, and the compounds were unambiguously characterized by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray structure analysis. Electrochemical measurements revealed not only that these derivatives have stable redox properties but also that their LUMO levels can be tuned over a very wide range.

Abstract
A novel type of fullerene derivatives, [60]fullerothiazolidinethiones (2), were obtained from the copper-catalyzed aerobic oxidative reaction of C60 with aliphatic primary amines and CS2 in 4:1 v/v DMF and o-DCB. The obtained products were fully characterized with the X-ray single-crystal diffraction and spectroscopic methods. Control experiment with maleic anhydride, an analogue to C60, also afforded thiazolidinethione product, but via a mechanism different from that of C60 judging from the structure difference between the two types of thiazolidinethione compounds, demonstrating the unique reactivity of C60.

Abstract
Isomer-controlled [70]fullerene bis-adducts can achieve high performance as electron-acceptors in organic photovoltaics (OPVs) because of their stronger absorption intensities than [60]fullerene derivatives, higher LUMO energy levels than mono-adducts, and less structural and energetic disorder than random isomer mixtures. Especially, attractive are cis-1 isomers that have the closest proximity of addends owing to their plausible more regular close packed structure. In this study, propylene-tethered cis-1 bismethano[70]fullerene with two methyl, ethyl, phenyl, or thienyl groups were rationally designed and prepared for the first time to investigate the OPV performances with an amorphous conjugated polymer donor (PCDTBT). The cis-1 products were found to be a mixture of two regioisomers, α-1-α and α-1-β as major and minor components, respectively. Among them, the cis-1 product with two ethyl groups (Et2-cis-1-[70]PBC) showed the highest OPV performance, encouraging us to isolate its α-1-α isomer (Et2-α-1-α-[70]PBC) by high-performance liquid chromatography. OPV devices based on Et2-cis-1-[70]PBC and Et2-α-1-α-[70]PBC with PCDTBT showed open-circuit voltages of 0.844 V and 0.864 V, respectively, which were higher than that of a device with typical [70]fullerene mono-adduct, [70]PCBM (0.831 V) with a lower LUMO level. However, the short-circuit current densities and resultant power conversion efficiencies of the devices with Et2-cis-1-[70]PBC (9.24 mA cm−2, 4.60%) and Et2-α-1-α-[70]PBC (6.35 mA cm−2, 3.25%) were lower than those of the device with [70]PCBM (10.8 mA cm−2, 5.8%) due to their inferior charge collection efficiencies. The results obtained here reveal that cis-1 [70]fullerene bis-adducts do not guarantee better OPV performance and that further optimization of the substituent structures is necessary. cis-1 Isomers of [70]fullerene bis-adducts were utilized as electron-acceptors in organic photovoltaic devices for the first time.![]()

Abstract
A series of novel highly soluble double-caged [60]fullerene derivatives were prepared by means of lithium-salt-assisted [2+3] cycloaddition. The bispheric molecules feature rigid linking of the fullerene spheres through a four-membered cycle and a pyrrolizidine bridge with an ester function CO2 R (R=n-decyl, n-octadecyl, benzyl, and n-butyl; compounds 1 a-d, respectively), as demonstrated by NMR spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. Cyclic voltammetry studies revealed three closely overlapping pairs of reversible peaks owing to consecutive one-electron reductions of fullerene cages, as well as an irreversible oxidation peak attributed to abstraction of an electron from the nitrogen lone-electron pair. Owing to charge delocalization over both carbon cages, compounds 1 a-d are characterized by upshifted energies of frontier molecular orbitals, a narrowed bandgap, and reduced electron-transfer reorganization energy relative to pristine C60 . Neat thin films of the n-decyl compound 1 a demonstrated electron mobility of (1.3±0.4)×10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1 , which was comparable to phenyl-C61 -butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) and thus potentially advantageous for organic solar cells (OSC). Application of 1 in OSC allowed a twofold increase in the power conversion efficiencies of as-cast poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT)/1 devices relative to the as-cast P3HT/PCBM ones. This is attributed to the good solubility of 1 and their enhanced charge-transport properties - both intramolecular, owing to tightly linked fullerene cages, and intermolecular, owing to the large number of close contacts between the neighboring double-caged molecules. Test P3HT/1 OSCs demonstrated power-conversion efficiencies up to 2.6 % (1 a). Surprisingly low optimal content of double-caged fullerene acceptor 1 in the photoactive layer (≈30 wt %) favored better light harvesting and carrier transport owing to the greater content of P3HT and its higher degree of crystallinity.

Yan Y, Liu X, Wang T. Conjugated-Polymer Blends for Organic Photovoltaics: Rational Control of Vertical Stratification for High Performance. ADVANCED MATERIALS (DEERFIELD BEACH, FLA.) 2017; 29:1601674. [PMID: 28195372 DOI: 10.1002/adma.201601674] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/28/2016] [Revised: 08/17/2016] [Indexed: 06/06/2023]
Abstract
The photoactive layer of bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells, in a thickness range of tens to hundreds of nanometers, comprises phase-separated electron donors and acceptors after solution casting. The component distribution in the cross-section of these thin films is found to be heterogeneous, with electron donors or acceptors accumulated or depleted near the electrode interfaces. This vertical stratification of the photovoltaic blend influences device metrics through its impact on charge transport and recombination, and consequently plays an important role in determining the power conversion efficiency of photovoltaic devices. Here, different techniques, e.g., surface analysis and sputter-assisted depth-profiling, reflectivity modeling, and 3D imaging, that have been employed to characterize vertical stratification in bulk-heterojunction photovoltaic blends are reviewed. The origins of vertical stratification are summarized, including thermodynamics, kinetics, surface free energy, and selective dissolubility. The impact of correct and wrong vertical stratification to device metrics of solar cells are highlighted. Examples are then given to demonstrate how desired vertical stratification can be controlled with properly aligned device architecture to enable solar cells with high efficiency.

Abstract
A series of heterocyclic spiro derivatives has been successfully synthesized and characterized by photophysical and electrochemical studies. Taking advantage of their excellent hole-transporting properties, highly efficient small-molecular organic photovoltaic devices based on these heterocyclic compounds as donors with very low dopant concentrations have been prepared; particularly, a high open-circuit voltage of up to 1.10 V and a power conversion efficiency of up to 5.12% have been realized. In addition, most of these heterocyclic spiro derivatives are found to be highly emissive in solutions with photoluminescence quantum yields of up to 0.91, and high-performance deep-blue-emitting organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) have been achieved. Such devices exhibit a stable deep blue emission with CIE coordinates of (0.16, 0.04) and high external quantum efficiencies of up to 4.7%, which is one of the best values among the reported OLEDs with CIEy < 0.08.

Abstract
UNLABELLED A cross-linkable conjugated polymer with bromo groups on the side chain has been developed and used as an anode interlayer to improve the active layer morphology and consequently enhance the device performance of polymer solar cells (PSCs). The polymer, PCDTBT-Br, has cross-linkable bromo groups attached to the side chain of a widely-used donor polymer, poly[N-9-heptadecanyl-2,7-carbazole-alt-5,5-(4,7-di-2-thienyl-2,1,3-benzothiadiazole)] (PCDTBT). The pendant bromo groups do not significantly change the LUMO/HOMO energy levels and absorption spectrum of the PCDTBT polymer backbone. PDCTBT-Br can crosslink under UV irradiation to give a robust film, which enables multilayer PSC device fabrication. Moreover, the much lower surface energy of PCDTBT-Br (20.4 mJ m(-2) ) compared to PEDOT PSS (91.6 mJ m(-2) ) is beneficial for achieving optimal active layer morphology. As a result, with PCDTBT:[6,6]-phenyl-C71 butyric acid methyl ester (PC71 BM) as the active layer, the PSC device with PCDTBT-Br as the underlying layer shows a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 6.59 %, in comparison to a PCE of 5.86 % of the control device. The device performance enhancement is ascribed to the much improved phase separation with a fibrillar nanostructure in the active layer.

Abstract
Although the utilization of [70]fullerene bis-adducts can enhance the power conversion efficiencies of polymer solar cells (PSCs) owing to their strong absorption intensities and high-lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy levels, this synthetic strategy typically yields a mixture of regioisomers that would mask the intrinsic device performances depending on the substituent pattern on the [70]fullerene derivatives. In this study, a single cis-2 regioisomer of C70 bis-adduct (cis-2-[70]BIEC) has been prepared for the first time by the same strategy that had been applied to [60]fullerene to obtain a regioisomerically pure C60 bis-adduct (cis-2-[60]BIEC). Diels-Alder reaction was conducted between a rationally designed ethylene-tethered indene dimer and [70]fullerene, followed by isolation using high-performance liquid chromatography suitable for the separation of fullerene derivatives. A series of structural analysis techniques including NMR spectroscopies and X-ray crystallography were used to identify the absolute configuration of the bis-adduct. A systematic study on the optical, electrochemical, and photovoltaic properties of cis-2-[70]BIEC as well as the corresponding regioisomer mixture (bis-[70]BIEC) and the monoadduct (α-mono-[70]BIEC) has been performed to examine the effect of the pure cis-2 regioisomer. More importantly, their properties are compared with those of cis-2-[60]BIEC to address the effect of fullerene cage structures, that is, C60 versus C70. The PSC based on cis-2-[70]BIEC and poly(3-hexylthiophene) showed a remarkable power conversion efficiency of 4.2%, which is higher than those with bis-[70]BIEC (2.2%), α-mono-[70]BIEC (2.2%), cis-2-[60]BIEC (2.8%), and even a prevalent high-performance C70 monoadduct ([70]PCBM, 3.8%). Our synthetic strategy will pave the way for further development on the rational design and isolation of single fullerene bis-adduct regioisomers exhibiting high device performances.
