Diagram Explaining the Non-Fullerene Acceptor Photovoltaic Material

Caption

This organic photovoltaic material has two molecular components, shown here in blue and yellow. The blue molecule is an electron donor, and the yellow molecule is a non-fullerene (electron) acceptor (NFA). Modeling in a new study has shown that a minuscule tweak to the NFA drastically raises the rate of conversion of light into electricity.
