研究目的
To improve the power conversion efficiencies for organic solar cells by enhancing light absorption and reducing energy loss simultaneously through reducing the singlet?triplet energy gap (ΔEST).
研究成果
End-group π?π stacking is an effective way to reduce the singlet?triplet energy gap (ΔEST) in organic photovoltaics, leading to both small energy loss and efficient light absorption. This reduction in ΔEST is crucial for achieving high power conversion efficiencies in organic solar cells.
研究不足
The study is computational and may require experimental validation to confirm the findings. The focus on specific acceptors (ITIC, IT-4F, and Y6) may limit the generalizability of the results to other materials.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs (time-dependent) density functional theory (TD)DFT calculations in combination with molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the role of end-group π?π stacking in reducing ΔEST in narrow-bandgap nonfullerene acceptors (ITIC, IT-4F, and Y6).

2. Sample Selection and Data Sources: The study focuses on state-of-the-art A?D?A small-molecule acceptors (ITIC, IT-4F, and Y6) known for their modest push?pull effect.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Computational tools for TDDFT and MD simulations are used, but specific models and brands are not mentioned.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The methodology involves calculating the vertical and adiabatic ΔEST values, analyzing the effect of end-group π?π stacking on S1 and T1 energies, and estimating the rates of T1 back to TCT.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
The analysis includes estimating the rates of T1 back to TCT using the Marcus?Levich?Jortner theory and analyzing the spin?orbit couplings between T1 and S0.
