Single-component organic photovoltaics (SC-OPVs) offer an innovative approach to the traditional bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaics (BHJ-OPVs) by chemically bonding the donor and acceptor materials within a single molecule. This approach has the potential not only to reduce the manufacturing costs but also to stabilize the photoactive layer against common morphological degradation processes typically observed in BHJ-OPVs.
