Structure–Property Relationship of Macrocycles in Organic Photoelectric Devices: A Comprehensive Review by Chunxiao Zhong, Yong Yan, Qian Peng, Zheng Zhang, Tao Wang, Xin Chen, Jiacheng Wang, Ying Wei, Tonglin Yang, Linghai Xie

“…Herein, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of a series of macrocycle structures to identify the key factors that affect the structure–property relationship between macrocycles and their optoelectronic device properties, including energy level structure, structural stability, film-forming property, skeleton rigidity, inherent pore structure, spatial hindrance, exclusion of perturbing end-effects, macrocycle size-dependent effects, and fullerene-like charge transport characteristics. These macrocycles exhibit thin-film and single-crystal hole mobility up to 10 and 26.8 cm² V⁻¹ s⁻¹, respectively, as well as a unique macrocyclization-induced emission enhancement property. …”

Electrostatic force promoted intermolecular stacking of polymer donors toward 19.4% efficiency binary organic solar cells by Zirui Gan, Liang Wang, Jinlong Cai, Chuanhang Guo, Chen Chen, Donghui Li, Yiwei Fu, Bojun Zhou, Yuandong Sun, Chenhao Liu, Jing Zhou, Dan Liu, Wei Li, Tao Wang

“…Molecular dynamics simulations and synchrotron X-ray measurements reveal that the electronegative INMB-F adsorb on the electropositive main chain of polymer donors to increase the donor-donor interactions, leading to enhanced structural order with shortened π-π stacking distance and consequently enhanced charge transport ability. Casting the non-fullerene acceptor layer on top of the INMB-F modified donor layer to fabricate solar cells via layer-by-layer deposition evidences significant power conversion efficiency boosts in a range of photovoltaic systems. …”
