Two-dimensional side-chain plays a crucial role in the construction of efficient non-fused ring electron acceptors (NFREAs). Herein, we introduce an NFREA, PCT-4Cl, featuring tert-butyl carbazole side-chain, and investigate its optoelectronic properties. Notably, PCT-4Cl exhibits small singlet-triplet energy gap (ΔEST) 0.25 eV. Blending with host eC9 or C8C8-4Cl acceptor extends lifetime singlet excitons exciton diffusion length blend films. Moreover, high level triplet state (ET1) facilitates transfer to C8C8-4Cl. The addition PM6:eC9 also leads longer crystallization time, restraining aggregation enhancing crystallinity ternary Consequently, power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) 18.84% 15.17% are achieved based on optimized devices PM6:eC9:PCT-4Cl PM6:C8C8-4Cl:PCT-4Cl, respectively, surpassing performance (17.34%) PM6:C8C8-4Cl (14.05%). Furthermore, leveraging 2PACz as hole transporting layer elevates PCEs organic solar cells (OSCs) 19.25% 15.53%. These findings underscore significant ET1 NFREA for charge transfer, well modulating crystallinity, presenting promising pathway achieving higher-performance both binary OSCs.

Abstract Pseudo‐planar heterojunction (PPHJ) structure using sequential deposition is an effective method for achieving high‐efficiency organic photovoltaics (OPVs). The crystallization and phase separation behavior during film‐forming process intricately related to morphology with PPHJ structure. Despite this, the relationship between these two factors remains ambiguous, thereby impeding further improvements in performance. To tackle this challenge, PM6 PY‐DT all‐polymer systems as models are utilized, combine theoretical calculations, situ spectroscopy, morphological characterization elucidate aforementioned relationship. Thermodynamically, can effectively suppress van der Waals forces, increase crystallinity of PM6, promote matching crystallinity. Kinetically, rate notably faster more sustained, facilitating development interpenetrating network enhanced Furthermore, driven by crystallization‐induced‐phase separation, characterized minimal intermixed content substantial domain size. Concurrently, layer swells a limited extent, downward diffusion PY‐DT, which promotes formation vertical Ultimately, favorable achieved optimizing process, resulting power conversion efficiency (PCE) 18.08%, highest PCEs reported binary OPVs based on date.

Abstract Organic solar cells (OSCs) based on giant molecular acceptors (GMAs) have attracted extensive attention due to their excellent power conversion efficiency (PCE) and operation stability. However, the large conjugated plane of GMAs poses great challenges in regulating solubility, over‐size aggregation yield, which turn further constrains development commercial products. Herein, we employ a non‐fused skeleton strategy develop novel star‐shape trimers (3BTT6F 3BTT6Cl) for improving device performance. Single‐bond linkage can break rigid planarity form 3D architecture, generating multidimensional charge transfer pathways. Importantly, not only significantly improve solubility synthesis but also effectively suppress excessive aggregation. Consequently, optimized film‐forming process dynamics, 3BTT6F‐based binary obtains high PCE 17.52 %, is higher than reported fully fused trimers. Excitingly, ternary even top‐level 19.26 %. Furthermore, configuration endows these with enhanced intermolecular interaction active layer, demonstrating operational Our work emphasizes potential trimers, providing new pathway achieving highly efficient stable OSCs.
