science and technology The role of dipole moment in two fused-ring electron acceptor and one polymer donor based ternary organic solar cells By pubs.rsc.org Published On :: Mater. Chem. Front., 2020, 4,1507-1518DOI: 10.1039/D0QM00016G, Research ArticleXunfan Liao, Yongjie Cui, Xueliang Shi, Zhaoyang Yao, Heng Zhao, Yongkang An, Peipei Zhu, Yaxiao Guo, Xiang Fei, Lijian Zuo, Ke Gao, Francis Lin, Qian Xie, Lie Chen, Wei Ma, Yiwang Chen, Alex K.-Y. JenThe dipole moment of FREAs’ terminals has been unveiled as an important factor and its working mechanism has been thoroughly investigated. Our results demonstrate that the dipole moment should also be taken into account in designing ternary OSCs.The content of this RSS Feed (c) The Royal Society of Chemistry Full Article
