Abstract
Near-infrared (NIR) absorbing electron donor-acceptor (D-A) chromophores have been at the forefront of current energy research owing to their facile charge transfer (CT) characteristics, which are primitive for photovoltaic applications. Herein, we have designed and developed a new set of benzothiadiazole (BTD)-based tetracyanobutadiene (TCBD)/dicyanoquinodimethane (DCNQ)-embedded multimodular D-A systems (BTD1-BTD6) and investigated their inherent photo-electro-chemical responses for the first time having identical and mixed terminal donors of variable donicity. Apart from poor luminescence, the appearance of broad low-lying optical transitions extendable even in the NIR region (>1000 nm), particularly in the presence of the auxiliary acceptors, are indicative of underlying nonradiative excited state processes leading to robust intramolecular CT and subsequent charge separation (CS) processes in these D-A constructs. While electrochemical studies identify the moieties involved in these photo-events, orbital delocalization and consequent evidence for the low-energy CT transitions have been achieved from theoretical calculations. Finally, the spectral and temporal responses of different photoproducts are obtained from femtosecond transient absorption studies, which, coupled with spectroelectrochemical data, identify broad NIR signals as CS states of the compounds. All the systems are found to be susceptible to ultrafast (~ps) CT and CS before carrier recombination to the ground state, which is, however, significantly facilitated after incorporation of the secondary TCBD/DCNQ acceptors, leading to faster and thus efficient CT processes, particularly in polar solvents. These findings, including facile CT/CS and broad and intense panchromatic absorption over a wide window of the electromagnetic spectrum, are likely to expand the horizons of BTD-based multimodular CT systems to revolutionize the realm of solar energy conversion and associated photonic applications.

Abstract
Fused-ring electronic acceptors (FREAs) have transformed the field of organic solar cells. However, the prevailing syntheses of FREAs suffer from low yield, difficulty in separation, and high cost. Here, we report new and streamlined syntheses with three distinctive key steps. First, a universal approach to fuse neighboring aromatic units via a single carbon atom is demonstrated with ytterbium triflate and boron trifluoride as the catalysts. This approach allows the incorporation of diverse side-chain combinations. Second, nitrogen atom fusing neighboring aromatics is realized by using oxo-molybdenum catalyst, featuring lower reaction temperatures and enhanced yields. Third, an organic catalyst, proline, is identified to catalyze the aldol condensation with high yield to afford the most typical FREAs having acceptor-donor-acceptor (ADA) configurations. Our new chemistries enable easy syntheses of a wide range of FREAs, substantially expanding the scope and availability of these coveted materials at reduced synthetic cost, particularly for organic electronics.

Abstract
Metal-free organic dyes are promising dyes that can be applied widely in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). The rational design and selection of dyes with complementary absorption can promote the development of methods that can enhance the utilization of incident light by DSSCs, such as cosensitization and tandem devices. Based on these opinions, the structure of the reported high-performance metal-free organic dye ZL003 is used as a template to design two new metal-free organic dyes, HX-1 and HX-2, by replacing its donor unit with a 2-phenothiazine-phenylamine unit and fusing its three independent π-bridge units into a whole with the aim of driving the red shift and the blue shift of the absorption spectra of ZL003, respectively. Through theoretical investigation, it is demonstrated that the perfect complementary optical absorption of HX-1 and HX-2 can be realized as the shift of the absorption spectra of ZL003 to different directions, which means their feasibility to the application in cosensitization or tandem dye-sensitized solar cells (T-DSSCs). Furthermore, it is hypothesized that HX-1 may be the dye with better photovoltaic performance than ZL003 by modeling their intramolecular charge-transfer (ICT) processes, TiO2 surface adsorption, and photovoltaic parameters. The short-circuit current density (Jsc) and photoelectric conversion efficiency (PCE) of HX-1 are 23.10 mA·cm-2 and 21.26% in theory, compared to those of 20.68 mA·cm-2 and 19.64% in ZL003 at the same computational level, respectively. In view of the complementary optical properties, the combination of HX-1 with HX-2 may be a reasonable option for dyes for the development of a highly efficient cosensitization system or T-DSSCs in the future. In terms of such findings, these two novel metal-free organic dyes may have bright prospects in the research of highly efficient DSSCs, and this work can provide a reference for the design of dyes with complementary absorption through simple structural adjustments of the realistic dyes with high photovoltaic performance.

Superior End-Group Stacking Promotes Simultaneous Multiple Charge-Transfer Mechanisms in Organic Solar Cells with an All-Fused-Ring Nonfullerene Acceptor.

Abstract
The all-fused-ring acceptor (AFRA) is a success for nonfullerene materials and has attracted considerable attention as its high optical and chemical stability expected to reduce energy loss, and power conversion efficiency (PCE) approaching 15% in constructed all-small-molecule organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, the intrinsic role of the structure of AFRA F13 and the reason for its high PCE were revealed by comparison with those of typical fused acceptors IDT-IC and Y6. An increased degree of conjugation in F13 leads to broader and red-shifted absorption peaks, facilitating enhancement of the short-circuit current. Multiple charge-transfer mechanisms are mainly attributed to the higher Frenkel exciton (FE) state due to the multiple transition ways for acceptors in the C1-CN:F13 system. The increased number of atoms contributing to the charge-transfer (CT) state facilitated the existence of more superior stacking patterns with easy formation of CT and FE/CT states and a high charge separation rate. It was found using the AFRA is an effective strategy to enhance end-group stacking, enhancing the borrowing of oscillator strength to promote multiple CT mechanisms in the complexes, explaining the high performance of this OSC device. This work is promising to guide designing an efficient AFRA in the future.

Abstract
The high-performance Y6-based nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) feature a C-shaped A-DA'D-A-type molecular architecture with a central electron-deficient thiadiazole (Tz) A' unit. In this work, we designed and synthesized a new A-D-A-type NFA, termed CB16, having a C-shaped ortho-benzodipyrrole-based skeleton of Y6 but with the Tz unit eliminated. When processed with nonhalogenated xylene without using any additives, the binary PM6:CB16 devices display a remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.32% with a high open-circuit voltage (Voc) of 0.92 V, surpassing the performance of the corresponding Y6-based devices. In contrast, similarly synthesized SB16, featuring an S-shaped para-benzodipyrrole-based skeleton, yields a low PCE of 0.15% due to the strong side-chain aggregation of SB16. The C-shaped A-DNBND-A skeleton in CB16 and the Y6-series NFAs constitutes the essential structural foundation for achieving exceptional device performance. The central Tz moiety or other A' units can be employed to finely adjust intermolecular interactions. The single-crystal X-ray structure reveals that ortho-benzodipyrrole-embedded A-DNBND-A plays an important role in the formation of a 3D elliptical network packing for efficient charge transport. Solution structures of the PM6:NFAs detected by small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SWAXS) indicate that removing the Tz unit in the C-shaped skeleton could reduce the self-packing of CB16, thereby enhancing the complexing and networking with PM6 in the spin-coating solution and the subsequent device film. Elucidating the structure-property-performance relationships of A-DA'D-A-type NFAs in this work paves the way for the future development of structurally simplified A-D-A-type NFAs.

Abstract
CONTEXT Since 1991 when Grätzel et al. improved the conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cells to 7.1% by applying nano technology as the first time, the researches on dye-sensitized solar cells have received widely attentions. The organic dye without precious metals has a lower cost, which is easily to get synthesized and its structure is easily decorated, owing a higher photoelectric conversion efficiency at the same time. Therefore, in recent years, the organic dye has attracted people's attentions more and more. In order to better understand the relationship between structure and properties of dye molecules, with ZL003 as a prototype, molecular modifications are then made and a scheme, with rigid fused π-bridge comprising electron-rich and deficient segments. The calculated results indicate that the π-bridge containing dithienopyrrolobenzothiadiazole and dipyrrolo-dithienobenzothiadiazole as π-bridge has been demonstrated to be successful to significantly redshift the absorption maximum wavelength, extend the lifetime of the first excited state, and decrease the energy gap between the highest occupied molecule orbital (HOMO) and the lowest unoccupied molecule orbital (LUMO). It is hoped that the calculation result of this paper would provide theoretical basis for the experimental synthesis of more efficient dye molecules. METHOD All calculations were performed in Gaussian 09 program package. The ground state geometries (S0) and the first excited state (S1) were optimized using density function theory (DFT) with the hybrid function B3LYP functional, coupled with the 6-31G(d, p) basis set for optimization of molecule ground state conformations. TD-DFT calculations of excited state energies and absorption spectra were performed using MPWPW91 functional combined with the 6-31 + G (d) basis set.

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
S,N-Heteroacene materials with fused multicyclic heteroaromatics have become increasingly attractive for organic optoelectronic device applications. In this work, the Cadogan ring-closure reaction between the benzene moiety of thieno[3,2-b]indole and 5,6-dinitrobenzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole was employed to prepare the novel decacyclic S,N-heteroacene 15,16-dibutyl-14,17-didodecyldithieno[2′′,3′′:2′,3′]indolo[6′,7′:4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-e:2′,3′-g][2,1,3]benzothiadiazole (TIP), C58H76N6S3. The conjugated backbone of TIP is extended in comparison with its octacyclic analogue as the central unit within Y6-type molecular acceptors, a family of overwhelming electron acceptors in polymer solar-cell research. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SC-XRD) characterization indicated the existence of π–π and C(sp
2)—H...π interactions among TIP molecules. The electrochemical and optical properties of TIP were also characterized. As a novel S,N-heteroacene building block, TIP is anticipated to be of potential use in the construction of promising electronic materials.

Abstract
Non-fullerene acceptors are promising to achieve high efficiency in organic solar cells (OSCs). Y6-based acceptors, one group of new n-type semiconductors, have triggered tremendous attention when they reported a power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.7% in 2019. After that, scientists are trying to improve the efficiency in different aspects including choosing new donors, tuning Y6 structures, and device engineering. In this review, we first summarize the properties of Y6 materials and the seven critical methods modifying the Y6 structure to improve the PCEs developed in the latest three years as well as the basic principles and parameters of OSCs. Finally, the authors would share perspectives on possibilities, necessities, challenges, and potential applications for designing multifunctional organic device with desired performances via machine learning.

Abstract
During the self-assembly of π-conjugated molecules, linkers and substituents can potentially add supportive noncovalent intermolecular interactions to π-stacking interactions. Here, we report the self-assembly behavior of thienopyrrole-fused thiadiazole (TPT) fluorescent dyes that possess ester or ether linkers and dodecyloxy side chains in solution and the condensed phase. A comparison of the self-association behavior of the ester- and ether-bridged compounds in solution using detailed UV-vis, fluorescence, and NMR spectroscopic studies revealed that the subtle replacement of the ether linkers by ester linkers leads to a distinct increase in the association constant (ca. 3-4 fold) and the enthalpic contribution (ca. 3 kcal mol-1). Theoretical calculations suggest that the ester linkers, which are in close proximity to one another due to the π-stacking interactions, induce attractive electrostatic forces and augment self-association. The self-assembly of TPT dyes into well-defined 1D clusters with high aspect ratios was observed, and their morphologies and crystallinity were investigated using SEM and X-ray diffraction analyses. TPTs with ester linkers exhibit a columnar liquid crystalline mesophase in the condensed phase.

Abstract
We discovered a unique synthetic route to construct 2H-pyran-containing tetracyclic dithienocyclopentapyran (DTCP) and dibenzocyclopentapyran (DBCP) architectures. The synthesis involves an acid-induced dehydration cyclization followed by a [1,5] hydride-shift isomerization to form a cyclopentanone moiety which was converted to the pyran-embedded tetracyclic products by a CuI-catalyzed intramolecular C-O bond formation in good yield. DTCP was used as a building block to prepare an acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type n-type material DTCP-BC leading to a solar cell efficiency of 9.32%.

Abstract
Narrow bandgap n-type organic semiconductors (n-OS) have attracted great attention in recent years as acceptors in organic solar cells (OSCs), due to their easily tuned absorption and electronic energy levels in comparison with fullerene acceptors. Herein, a new n-OS acceptor, Y5, with an electron-deficient-core-based fused structure is designed and synthesized, which exhibits a strong absorption in the 600-900 nm region with an extinction coefficient of 1.24 × 105 cm-1 , and an electron mobility of 2.11 × 10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1 . By blending Y5 with three types of common medium-bandgap polymers (J61, PBDB-T, and TTFQx-T1) as donors, all devices exhibit high short-circuit current densities over 20 mA cm-2 . As a result, the power conversion efficiency of the Y5-based OSCs with J61, TTFQx-T1, and PBDB-T reaches 11.0%, 13.1%, and 14.1%, respectively. This indicates that Y5 is a universal and highly efficient n-OS acceptor for applications in organic solar cells.

Abstract
Despite significant development recently, improving the power conversion efficiency of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) is still an ongoing challenge to overcome. One of the prerequisites to achieving this goal is to enable efficient charge separation and small voltage losses at the same time. In this work, a facile synthetic strategy is reported, where optoelectronic properties are delicately tuned by the introduction of electron-deficient-core-based fused structure into non-fullerene acceptors. Both devices exhibited a low voltage loss of 0.57 V and high short-circuit current density of 22.0 mA cm-2, resulting in high power conversion efficiencies of over 13.4%. These unconventional electron-deficient-core-based non-fullerene acceptors with near-infrared absorption lead to low non-radiative recombination losses in the resulting organic photovoltaics, contributing to a certified high power conversion efficiency of 12.6%.

Abstract
A novel nonfullerene small molecular acceptor (BZIC) based on a ladder-type thieno[3,2-b]pyrrolo-fused pentacyclic benzotriazole core (dithieno[3,2-b]pyrrolobenzotriazole, BZTP) and end-capped with 1,1-dicyanomethylene-3-indanone (INCN) has been first reported in this work. Through introducing multifused benzotriazole and INCN, BZIC could maintain a high-lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level of -3.88 eV. Moreover, BZIC shows a low optical bandgap of 1.45 eV with broad and efficient absorption band from 600 to 850 nm due to increased π-π interactions by the covalently locking thiophene and benzotriazole units. A power conversion efficiency of 6.30% is delivered using BZIC as nonfullerene acceptor and our recently synthesized hexafluoroquinoxaline-based polymer HFQx-T as donor. This is the first time to synthesize mutifused benzotriazole-based molecules as nonfullerene electron acceptor up to date. The preliminary results demonstrate that the mutifused benzotriazole derivatives hold great potential for efficient photovoltaics.

Abstract
Bromination is one of the most important transformations in organic synthesis and can be carried out using bromine and many other bromo compounds. Use of molecular bromine in organic synthesis is well-known. However, due to the hazardous nature of bromine, enormous growth has been witnessed in the past several decades for the development of solid bromine carriers. This review outlines the use of bromine and different bromo-organic compounds in organic synthesis. The applications of bromine, a total of 107 bromo-organic compounds, 11 other brominating agents, and a few natural bromine sources were incorporated. The scope of these reagents for various organic transformations such as bromination, cohalogenation, oxidation, cyclization, ring-opening reactions, substitution, rearrangement, hydrolysis, catalysis, etc. has been described briefly to highlight important aspects of the bromo-organic compounds in organic synthesis.

Abstract
Incorporation of the donor-acceptor structure of an alternating conjugated copolymer into a rigid ladder polymer backbone is reported. The resulting ladder polymers show optical features typical of rigid ladder polymers, but present an increased Stokes shift if compared to their non-polar counterparts. This behavior reflects the occurrence of charge transfer processes during excitation and leads to a positive solvatochromism.

Abstract
Several donor (D)-acceptor (A) based molecules are rationally designed by adopting three different schemes in which the conjugation length, strength of the donor and acceptor moieties, and planarity of the molecules are varied. These variations are made by introducing a π-conjugated linkage unit, terminating the ends of the moieties by different electron donating and accepting functional groups, and fusing the donor and acceptor moieties, respectively. Our DFT and TDDFT based calculations reveal that using the above-mentioned design schemes, the electronic and optical properties of the D-A based molecules can be largely tuned. While introduction of a linkage and fusing of moieties enhance the π-π interaction, addition of electron donating groups (-CH3, -OH, and -NH2) and electron accepting groups (-CF3, -CN, -NO2, and -NH3(+)) varies the strength of the donor and acceptor moieties. These factors lead to modulation of the HOMO and LUMO energy levels and facilitate the engineering of the HOMO-LUMO gap and the optical gap over a wide range of ∼0.7-3.7 eV. Moreover, on the basis of calculated ionization potential and reorganization energy, most of the investigated molecules are predicted to be air stable and to exhibit high electron mobility, with the possibility of the presence of ambipolar characteristics in a few of them. The results of our calculations not only demonstrate the examined molecules to be the potential materials for organic opto-electronic devices, but also establish an understanding of the composition-structure-property correlation, which will provide guidelines for designing and synthesizing new materials of choice.

Abstract
Charge-transfer copolymers with local electron density gradients, systematically modified by quantity and position of fluorination, result in widely variable (2-8%) power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Ultrafast, near-infrared, transient absorption spectroscopy on the corresponding films reveals the influence of exciton polarity on ultrafast populations and decay dynamics for the charge-separated and charge-transfer states as well as their strong correlation to device PCEs. By using an excitation energy-dependent, dynamic red shift in the transient absorption signal for the polymer cation, the exciton polarity induced by push-pull interactions within each polymer fragment is shown to enhance charge dissociation on time scales of tens to hundreds of picoseconds after excitation. These results suggest the important role played by the local electronic structure not only for exciton dissociation but also for device performance.
