In this paper, a new perylene diimide (PDI)-based acceptor Me-PDI4 with tetrahedral configuration (or 3D) has been synthesized and characterized. Solution-processed organic solar cells (OSCs) based on Me-PDI4 have been investigated and our results show that the device performance can reach as high a...
