The first highly efficient single junction quaternary blend solar cells that break efficiency above 10% with complementary squaraine small molecules and low band-gap polymer combinations are reported by Nilay Hazari, André D. Taylor and co-workers in article number 1600660. The quaternary design demonstrates several advantages: (i) broader light absorption, (ii) improved surface morphology, (iii) enhanced co-crystallization packing, (iv) multiple energy and charge transfer pathways to reduce recombination, and (v) increased charge mobility.
