Compared with one-component organic single crystals, organic cocrystals with unique packing structures and aggregate states show a variety of novel optoelectronic properties through multi-component synergistic and collective effects, paving the way to the development of high-performance or multifunctional optoelectronic devices, particularly in electrical conductors, ferroelectricity, ambipolar charge transporting, photoconductivity and luminescence. Moreover, the charge transfer pathway between donor (D) and acceptor (A) in organic cocrystal is also fundamentally interesting. Therefore, studies on organic cocrystals have gained much attentions in recent years. In this paper, firstly, we have classified organic cocrystals into three categories by the driving forces: charge transfer (CT), π-π interaction and halogen/hydrogen bond; secondly, we have introduced common organic donor materials, using 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane (TCNQ), 1,2,4,5-tetracyanobenzene (TCNB) and fullerene (C60) as the typical acceptors; Thirdly, we have listed eight popular methods used to prepare these organic cocrystals and discussed the relationship between molecule packing and performance of organic cocrystal; Finally, we have covered the applications of these novel cocrystals in organic optoelectronics. We believe that the study on the organic cocrystals is an effective way to achieve organic multi-functional single crystal materials and devices and to promote the development of organic solid state optoelectronics.
