Abstract Using two structurally similar polymer acceptors in constructing high‐efficiency ternary all‐polymer solar cells is a widely acknowledged strategy; however, the focus thus far has not been on how acceptor(s) would tune aggregation of donors, and furthermore film morphology device performance (efficiency stability). Herein, it reported that matching celebrity acceptor PY‐IT donor PBQx‐TCl results enhanced H ‐ PBQx‐TCl, which can be finely tuned by controlling amount second PY‐IV. Consequently, efficiency‐optimized PY‐IV weight ratio (0.2/1.2) leads to state‐of‐the‐art power conversion efficiency 18.81%, wherein light‐illuminated operational stability also along with well‐protected thermal stability. Such enhancements stabilities attributed optimization desired glass transition temperature target active layer based comprehensive characterization.

Laboratory-scale all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) have exhibited remarkable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) exceeding 19%. However, the utilization of hazardous solvents and nonvolatile liquid additives poses challenges for eco-friendly commercialization, resulting in trade-off between device efficiency operation stability. Herein, an innovative approach based on isomerized solid additive engineering is proposed, employing volatile dithienothiophene (DTT) isomers to modulate intermolecular interactions facilitate molecular stacking within photoactive layers. Through elucidating underlying principles DTT-induced polymer assembly level, a PCE 18.72% achieved devices processed with environmentally benign solvents, ranking it among highest record values all-PSCs.
