The Front Cover shows a schematic illustration of a donor–acceptor system bearing a TPA–NDI–fullerene triad (TPA=triphenylamine; NDI=naphthalenediimide). Organic bulk heterojunction solar cells were fabricated using the triad as an n‐type semiconductor along with the conventional donor polymer poly(3‐hexylthiophene). The power conversion efficiency reached 3.03% before annealing and 4.85% after annealing in the optimized devices. Thus, the present triad for n‐type semiconductor solar cells may attract significant attention due to its potential application in the conversion of solar energy to electrical energy.
