Poly(isoindigo‐ alt ‐3,4‐difluorothiophene) (PIID[2F]T) analogues used as “polymer acceptors” in bulk‐heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells achieve >7 % efficiency when used in conjunction with the polymer donor PBFTAZ (model system; copolymer of benzo[1,2‐ b :4,5‐ b′ ]dithiophene and 5,6‐difluorobenzotriazole). Considering that most efficient polymer‐acceptor alternatives to fullerenes (e.g. PC 61 BM or its C 71 derivative) are based on perylenediimide or naphthalenediimide motifs thus far, branched alkyl‐substituted PIID[2F]T polymers are particularly promising non‐fullerene candidates for “all‐polymer” BHJ solar cells.
