Y6 (CAS number 2304444-49-1) is a popular non-fullerene acceptor (NFA) molecule. The discovery of ITIC and the subsequent boom in the use of NFAs in organic photovoltaic solar cells (OPVs) has led to rapid improvements in device power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). The development of new NFA molecules like Y6 has continued this exciting trend. Using Y6 within a inert environment (such as a glove box), considerable jumps in solar cell performance have been achieved.

Also known BTP-4F, Y6 is a highly conjugated electron deficient organic semiconductor with an A-DAD-A structure. The Y6 molecule is composed of a fused thienothienopyrrolo-thienothienoindole (TTP-TTI) core base and 2-(5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-inden-1-ylidene)malononitrile (2FIC) end units. These 2FIC end units are believed to promote intermolecular interactions and enhance optical absorption. The absorption spectrum of Y6 has a maximum at around 810 nm and extends to 1100 nm. This means that Y6 and its polymer blends have the potential to absorb light across the entire visible and near infra-red spectrum.

The benzothiadiazole core of Y6 allows for the creation of solar cells using the polymer PBDB-T-2F (PM6) as an electron donor. Impressive power conversion efficiencies of up to 15.7% have been demonstrated in optimised single-junction solar cells with both conventional and inverted architectures using Y6 and PM6. Device structure: ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PM6:Y6/PDINO/Al.

Y6 Derivatives


The success of the electron-deficient-core-based fused ring design of Y6 has led to the development of other non-fullerene acceptors for solar cells based on the same principle. The different alkyl substituents on the derivatives influence their solubility, charge transport properties and the morphology of the resulting bulk heterojunction solar cell.
