Abstract:
Based on the newly synthesized seleno[3,2-b]selenophene unit, two near-infrared non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) of 4Se and 5Se are constructed by replacing four or all sulfurs with selenium in high-efficiency Y-series NFAs. Consequently, binary devices based on 4Se and 5Se afford PCEs of 15.17% and 15.23%, respectively, with a photoelectric response approaching 1000 nm. More excitingly, the energy loss of the 5Se-based device was as low as 0.477 eV along with almost the smallest non-radiative loss of ∼0.15 eV thus far.
