摘要

All polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) possess the advantages of mechanical flexibility and morphology stability. In this review

we introduce the development history of the

-type conjugated polymer (

-CP)

especially the recent research progress of the polymerized small molecule acceptors. In addition

the challenges and prospects of the

-CP and all-PSCs are analyzed and discussed.

Abstract

The active layer of all polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) is composed of a blend of a

-type conjugated polymer (

-CP) as donor and an

-type conjugated polymer (

-CP) as acceptor. All-PSCs possess the advantages of light weight

thin active layer

mechanical flexibility

low cost solution processing and high stability

but the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the all-PSCs was limited by the poor photovoltaic performance of the

-CP acceptors before 2016. Since the report of the strategy of polymerized small molecule acceptors (PSMAs) in 2017

the photovoltaic performance of the PSMA-based

-CPs improved rapidly

benefitted from the development of the A-DA’D-A type small molecule acceptors (SMAs). PCE of the all-PSCs based on the PSMA acceptors reached 17%−18% recently. In this review article

we will introduce the development history of the

-CPs

especially the recent research progress of the PSMAs. Particularly

the structure-property relationship of the PSMAs is introduced and discussed. Finally

current challenges and prospects of the

-CP acceptors are analyzed and discussed.
