A novel non‐fullerene acceptor , possessing a very low bandgap of 1.34 eV and a high‐lying lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level of −3.95 eV, is designed and synthesized by introducing electron‐donating alkoxy groups to the backbone of a conjugated small molecule. Impressive power conversion efficiencies of 8.4% and 10.7% are obtained for fabricated single and tandem polymer solar cells.
