Two A–D–A molecules employing rigid S,N-heteroacenes as D core were synthesized.
The films of these dyes show uniaxial anisotropic feature and high absorptivity.
The exciton diffusion length of DTPT and DTPTT is ~5 nm and ~4 nm, respectively.
With C70 as acceptor, the DTPT-based PMHJ solar cell delivers a PCE up to 5.64%.
