Virtual screening of electron acceptor materials for organic photovoltaic applications

Virtual screening of electron acceptor materials for organic photovoltaic applications - Introduction and background. Organic semiconductors (OSC) are a class of materials that have a wide range of electronic device applications, including use as active materials for organic photovoltaic devices. The design space for OSC materials is very large and complex. There is a critical need for the development of efficient and low-cost methods to systematically explore chemical design space and advise.
