A1-D-A2-D-A1-type conjugated molecules were firstly demonstrated.
Three conjugated molecules containing DPP and another weaker acceptor were synthesized.
Thiophene carboxylate (3EhT), thienopyrroledione (TPD), and fluorinated thienothiophene (TT) were employed.
(TPD)(DPP)2 exhibited the highest power conversion efficiency of 3.37%.
