Abstract

Mother Nature is always the best source for scientists to draw inspiration. Herein, a three-dimensional perylene diimide (PDI)-based molecular acceptor was designed and synthesized, in which six PDI units form an "iris-like" structure upon connecting with the hexaphenylbenzene core. Interestingly, this molecule is the nonfullerene acceptor containing most PDI units, which can absorb solar light to exhibit excellent power conversion efficiency, much more efficient than the natural flowers. This contribution presents an interesting example of learning from Mother Nature to design novel materials for applications.
