Review on Y6-Based Semiconductor Materials and Their Future Development via Machine Learning

Non-fullerene acceptors are promising to achieve high efficiency in organic solar cells (OSCs). Y6-based acceptors, one group of new n-type semiconductors, have triggered tremendous attention when they reported a power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.7% in 2019. After that, scientists are trying t...

description Non-fullerene acceptors are promising to achieve high efficiency in organic solar cells (OSCs). Y6-based acceptors, one group of new n-type semiconductors, have triggered tremendous attention when they reported a power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.7% in 2019. After that, scientists are trying to improve the efficiency in different aspects including choosing new donors, tuning Y6 structures, and device engineering. In this review, we first summarize the properties of Y6 materials and the seven critical methods modifying the Y6 structure to improve the PCEs developed in the latest three years as well as the basic principles and parameters of OSCs. Finally, the authors would share perspectives on possibilities, necessities, challenges, and potential applications for designing multifunctional organic device with desired performances via machine learning.
