Abstract

Tune me up: The increasing number of new donor materials for organic solar cells requires compatible electron acceptors. A series of 1,4-fullerene adducts with tunable chemical, electronic, and material properties is introduced to effectively influence the photovoltaic characteristics of solar cells.
