Correcting hybrid density functionals to model Y6 and other non-fullerene acceptors
Tom Ward, Isabel Creed, Tim Rein +1
Recently developed fused-ring electron-acceptors such as Y6 (BTP-4F) have strong oscillator strength, good charge-carrier transport and a small bandgap. They therefore have enormou…
