Non‐Fullerene Acceptors In article number 2102363, Denis Andrienko and co‐workers summarize the chemical design rules of non‐fullerene acceptor molecules for use in efficient organic solar cells. In particular, they propose that the energy level bending that promotes the generation of free charges requires a planar acceptor–donor–acceptor molecular architecture, and molecular alignment parallel to the interface. These design rules are benchmarked against existing non‐fullerene acceptors and are used to pre‐screen a set of molecular building blocks for new acceptors with potentially high power conversion efficiencies.
