Description
Summary:This short mini-review gives a simple and teacherly introduction to the field of materials and their modelling for the active-layer in organic photovoltaic devices. It gives a perspective on past work and a summary of the current state-of-the-art. Given the extremely fast changes ongoing in this field, it is hoped that this document will serve both as a timely snapshot and a pedagogical entry point to this fascinating subject. Furthermore, an example is given of how modelling can enhance the understanding of the structures and qualities of materials using a leading low band-gap polymer donor and non-fullerene acceptor pair (PM6 and Y6).
