Film formation kinetics significantly impact molecular processability and power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells. Here, two ternary random copolymerization polymers are reported, D18─N-p D18─N-m, to modulate the aggregation ability D18 by introducing trifluoromethyl-substituted pyridine unit at para- meta-positions, respectively. The introduction reduces material adjusts interactions with acceptor L8-BO, thereby leading largely changed film earlier phase separation longer times, which enlarge fiber sizes in blend films improve carrier generation transport. As a result, moderate delivers high PCE 18.82% is further improved 19.45% via interface engineering. Despite slightly inferior small area device performances, D18─N-m shows solubility, inspires adjust ratio meta-trifluoromethyl carefully obtain polymer donor D18─N-m-10 good solubility nonhalogenated solvent o-xylene.

Abstract Low cost and high performance are key elements for the industrialization of organic solar cells (OSCs). In view this, developing highly‐efficient photovoltaic molecules with simple chemical structure is one most effective countermeasures. Herein, three simple‐structure terpolymers PTQ12‐5, PTQ12‐10, PTQ12‐15 designed synthesized, by embedding difluoro‐substituted bithiophene (2T‐2F) unit into backbone low‐cost high‐efficiency polymer PTQ10. The synthesis contains only two‐step synthetic routes over 85% yields from cheap raw compounds, thus exhibiting distinctly characteristic. Remarkably, PTQ12‐5 shows significantly higher absorbance coefficient hole mobility than Consequently, PTQ12‐5‐based OSCs more efficient exciton dissociation charge transfer, suppressed carrier recombination, tighter molecular π‐π stacking, faster balanced transport, demonstrates a improved efficiency 18.77% that PTQ10‐based device (18.03%). Moreover, an outstanding 19.36% achieved in ternary further modulating energy level alignment blending features photoactive molecules, which highest based on polymers to date. This work has significant implications guiding design high‐performance materials.

Developing organic solar cells (OSCs) processable with halogen-free, non-aromatic solvents is crucial for practical applications, yet challenging due to the limited solubility of most photoactive materials. This study introduces high-performance terpolymers in tetrahydrofuran (THF) by incorporating dithienophthalimide (DPI) into PM6 backbone. DPI extends absorption band, lowers HOMO levels, and improves THF film crystallinity through its large dipole moment effect. Optimal PBD-10:L8-BO devices processed achieved a competitive power conversion efficiency (PCE) 18.79%, approaching chloroform-processed (19.04%). By introducing PBTz-F as second donor, ternary OSCs reached an impressive 19.45% PCE when THF. improvement stems from enhanced photon generation, improved morphology, better charge transport, longer exciton lifetimes, efficient dissociation collection, suppressed recombination. These PCEs 18.79% binary blend OSCs, respectively, represent highest reported efficiencies solvents. work demonstrates significant progress eco-friendly OSC fabrication, paving way more sustainable commercially viable photovoltaic technologies.
