Diketopyrrolopyrrole-based polymers as donor and a perylene bisimide derivative as acceptor were applied in non-fullerene solar cells.
The power conversion efficiencies of 1.6–2.6% were achieved with broad photo-response from 300 nm to 1000 nm.
The modest PCEs of these DPP polymers based non-fullerene solar cells were attributed to the high charge recombination.
