Abstract Although much research on device engineering have brought about significant improvements in PM6:Y6‐based polymer solar cell (PSCs) performance, there is still a lack of relevant to solve the problems caused by over‐aggregation Y6 and long‐term stability morphology. Herein, newly designed synthesized low‐bandgap asymmetric small molecule acceptor TIT‐2Cl based thieno[3,2‐ b ]indole core elaborately introduced into PSCs suppress molecules with significantly increased efficiency from 15.78% 17.00%. Moreover, addition contributes improved light harvesting, lowest unoccupied molecular orbital level Y6:TIT‐2Cl, charge separation, transport, extraction. Simultaneously, are further prepared using progressive spin‐coating method layer‐by‐layer (LBL). Due formation vertical phase distribution improvement carrier transport champion LBL‐type ternary reaches 18.18%, which highest reported for PSCs, along superior compositional insensitivity. Therefore, results show that combination strategy incorporating appropriate LBL an effective means fabricate highly efficient stable PSCs.

By adding additive fatty acid (FA) into polymer donor PM6 solution, controllable pre-phase separation forms between and FA. This intermixed facilitates diffusion acceptor Y6 during LBL processing, due good miscibility fast-solvation FA with chloroform solution dripping. Interestingly, results in desired refined phase-separated domain vertical phase-separation structure better balance transport /collection dissociation. Consequently, binary single junction OSCs based on PM6:Y6 blend reach champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) 18.16% SAA-LBL which can be generally applicable diverse systems, e.g., PM6:L8-BO-based devices thick-film devices.
