Description
Summary:Front Cover: In article number 2000430 by Alexander V. Akkuratov and co‐workers, novel conjugated copolymers comprising dithienyl‐substituted benzodithiophene blocks bearing different solubilizing side chains are synthesized and explored as electron donor materials for organic solar cells (OCSs). The impact of side chains on optoelectronic properties, charge carrier mobilities and photovoltaic performance of the polymers is demonstrated. The appropriate selection of solubilizing groups boosts the performance of fullerene‐polymer OCSs from 6.8% to 9%.
