Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have progressed steadily through three stages of photoactive materials development: (i) use of poly­(3-hexylthiophene) and fullerene-based acceptors (FAs) for optimizing bulk heterojunctions; (ii) development of new donors to better match with FAs; (iii) development of n...
