非富勒烯受体(NFAs)是有机太阳能电池活性层核心材料, 其分子结构空间拓扑创新推动器件效率与稳定性突破. 发展遵循问题驱动-结构优化-性能提升的科学逻辑. 早期苝二酰亚胺体系验证了非富勒烯受体可行性, 但刚性平面引发过度聚集, 限制载流子传输, 制约器件性能. 后续以茚并二噻吩[3,2-b]并噻吩(IDTT)为核心的3,9-双(2-亚甲基- (3-(1,1-二氰基亚甲基)-茚酮))-5,5,11,11-四(4-己基苯基)-二噻吩并[2,3-d:2',3'-d']-s-茚并[1,2-b:5,6-b']二噻吩(ITIC)系列采用A-D-A线性构型, 借刚性稠环抑制过度聚集, 首次将单结器件效率推至10%以上, 确立了以梯形稠环为核的设计思路. 双噻吩并[2'',3'':4',5']噻吩并[2',3':4,5]吡咯[3,2-e:2',3'-g][2,1,3]苯并噻二唑(BTP)为核的Y系列受体通过引入缺电子核和构建“C”型骨架拓宽光吸收并提升与给体相容性, 突破20%效率瓶颈并成为高效体系. 此后拓扑研究向多维拓展, 形成一维线性二维平面三维空间三类结构. 一维聚焦骨架优化与提升分子的刚性缓解电压损失; 二维借助共轭扩展增强π电子离域, 需进一步增强分子平面性并优化相分离; 三维通过立体空间的区域调控抑制过度聚集并促进电荷的各向同性传输. 梳理了三类受体特征设计及进展, 揭示拓扑对性能的调控机制, 展望了未来设计方向, 为有机太阳能电池商业化提供参考.

Non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) are the core materials in the active layer of organic solar cells, where innovations in the spatial topology of their molecular structures have driven breakthroughs in device efficiency and stability. The development of NFAs follows a scientific logic of problem-driven design, structural optimization, and performance enhancement. Early perylene diimide-based systems demonstrated the feasibility of non-fullerene acceptors, but their rigid planar structures led to excessive aggregation, restricting charge carrier transport and constraining device performance. Subsequent 3,9-bis(2- methylene-(3-(1,1-dicyanomethylene)-indanone))-5,5,11,11-tetrakis(4-hexylphenyl)-dithieno[2,3-d:2',3'-d']-s-indaceno[1,2-b:5, 6-b']dithiophene (ITIC) series, featuring indacenodithieno[3,2-b]thiophene (IDTT) as the core, adopted an A-D-A linear configuration. By utilizing rigid fused rings to suppress excessive aggregation, this design achieved single-junction device efficiencies exceeding 10% for the first time, establishing a design strategy centered on ladder-type fused-ring cores. The dithie- no[2'',3'':4',5']thieno-[2',3':4,5]pyrrolo[3,2-e:2',3'-g][2,1,3]benzothiadiazole (BTP) cored Y series acceptors further expanded light absorption and enhanced compatibility with donor materials by introducing electron-deficient cores and constructing a “C”-shaped skeleton, breaking the 20% efficiency barrier and emerging as a highly efficient system. Subsequent topological research has expanded into multiple dimensions, forming three structural categories: one-dimensional linear, two-dimensional planar, and three-dimensional spatial structures. One-dimensional structures focus on backbone optimization and molecular rigidity improvement to mitigate voltage loss; two-dimensional structures utilize expanded π-electron delocalization but require further enhancement of planarity and optimization of phase separation; three-dimensional structures suppress excessive aggregation and enable isotropic charge transport by spatial confinement, promoting carrier mobility. This review outlines the characteristic designs and progress of these three types of acceptors, elucidates the regulatory mechanisms of topology on performance, and discusses future design directions, providing valuable insights for the commercialization of organic solar cells.
