Abstract Obtaining a well‐accurate vertical distribution active layer morphology through the air‐printing process is an essential task for achieving efficient scalable large‐area organic solar cells (OSCs). In this target, desired and controllable pseudo planar heterojunction (PPHJ) structure with suitable phase separation developed by pre‐deposited D18‐Cl under PM6:BTP‐eC9 film via eco‐friendly manufacturing method. The addition of regulates molecular crystallization leads to ideal stratification while simultaneously suppressing voltage loss, optimizing energetic disorder, carrier management. Impressively, optimal PPHJ devices perform superior power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) 19.05% (100 nm), 17.33% (300 14.14% (4 cm 2 ) compared BHJ devices. Importantly, OSCs also exhibit impressive extrapolated T 80 (the time required reach 80% initial PCE) long‐time storage operational stability, as well thermal stability.

The meta-stable active layer morphology of organic solar cells (OSCs) is identified as the main cause rapid burn-in loss power conversion efficiency (PCE) during long-term device operation. However, effective strategies to eliminate associated mechanisms from initial stage operation are still lacking, especially for high-efficiency material systems.

A double-fibril network of the photoactive layer morphology is recognized as an ideal structure facilitating exciton diffusion and charge carrier transport for high-performance organic solar cells (OSCs). However, in layer-by-layer processed OSCs (LbL-OSCs), polymer donors small molecule acceptors (SMAs) are separately deposited, it challenging to realize a fibril pure SMAs with absence tight interchain entanglement polymers. In this work, crystalline (SMDs), named TDZ-3TR SeDZ-3TR, were designed introduced into L8-BO acceptor solution, forcing phase separation molecular fibrilization. SeDZ-3TR showed higher crystallinity lower miscibility than TDZ-3TR, enabling more driving force favor better fibrilization L8-BO. On other hand, two donor polymers PM6 D18 different widths lengths put together optimize layer. The simultaneously optimization layers resulted impressive power conversion efficiency (PCE) 19.38 % LbL-OSCs.
