Abstract: In recent years,thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) materials and their electroluminescent devices are developed rapidly. TADF molecules should have small singlet-triplet energy gaps, therefore can facilitate the triplet exciton upconverted to singlet exciton via reverse intersystem crossing (RISC) for radiation. Compared to traditional fluorescence and phosphorescence emitters, besides 100% theoretical internal quantum efficiency and electrogenerated exciton utilization ratio, TADF materials have higher luminescent efficiencies based on pure organic donor-acceptor systems with the features of simple structures and large group library, which attract the extensive attentions. In TADF molecules, acceptors with strong electron-withdrawing ability can effectively facilitate the frontier molecular orbital separation, reduce singlet-triplet energy gaps, improve RISC rate, and simultaneously suppress intermolecular interactions and modify carrier injection and transportation through adjusting molecular configurations. However, in contrast to donor units, the acceptor groups are diverse and completely different regarding to functions, which influences the rational acceptor selection for optoelectronicoptimization. In recent years, the construction of thermally activated delayed fluorescent materials has focused more on the choice of acceptor groups and has achieved remarkable results. Common acceptor groups are phosphine oxide, cyano, triazine, carbonyl, and so on. Intensive research on acceptors groups is critical for regulating intramolecular electronic effects and intermolecular interactions. This review paper summarizes the main acceptor groups used in recently reported TADF molecules and discusses the relationships between acceptor structure and optoelectronic performance, which would be helpful for the subsequent researches on efficient TADF molecular development.
