Abstract Reduction of non‐radiative energy loss (Δ E nr ) in all‐polymer solar cells (all‐PSCs) is crucially important for achieving high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Herein, an efficient strategy reported to reduce the Δ by introducing luminescent unit into backbone polymer acceptors. Compared device based on PM6:PYDT, all‐PSC PM6:PYDT‐CzP‐9 has decreased from 0.188 0.183 eV. This reduction attributed improvement electroluminescence external quantum efficiency (EQE EL ). The shown 18% increase EQE compared PM6:PYDT (8.4 × 10 −4 vs 7.1 ), demonstrating that incorporation acceptors highly effective enhancing performance all‐PSCs. As a result, yielded V OC 0.967 V, without sacrifice short‐circuit current density (23.42 mA cm −2 and fill factor (77.5%), leading PCE 17.55%.

All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) have been regarded as one of the most promising candidates for commercial applications owing to their outstanding advantages such mechanical flexibility, light weight and stable film morphology. However, compared large amount new-emerging excellent polymer acceptors, development high-performance donor lags behind. Herein, a new D-π-A type donor, namely QQ1, was developed based on dithienoquinoxalineimide (DTQI) A unit, benzodithiophene with thiophene-conjugated side chains (BDTT) D alkyl-thiophene π-bridge, respectively. QQ1 not only possesses strong dipole moment, but also shows wide band gap 1.80 eV deep HOMO energy level -5.47 eV, even without halogen substituents that are commonly indispensable donors. When blended classic acceptor PY-IT, QQ1-based all-PSC delivers an PCE 18.81 %. After introduction F-BTA3 third component, record 19.20 % obtained, highest value reported so far all-PSCs. The impressive photovoltaic performance originates from broad absorption range, reduced loss, compact π-π stacking. These results provide insight in rational design novel nonhalogenated donors further

Abstract Achieving both high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and device stability is a major challenge for the practical development of organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, three non‐fully conjugated dimerized giant acceptors (named 2Y‐sites, including wing‐site‐linked 2Y‐wing, core‐site‐linked 2Y‐core, end‐site‐linked 2Y‐end) are developed. They share similar monomer precursors but have different alkyl‐linked sites, offering fine‐tuned molecular absorption, packing, glass transition temperature, carrier mobility. Among their binary active layers, D18/2Y‐wing has better miscibility, leading to optimized morphology more efficient charge transfer compared D18/2Y‐core D18/2Y‐end. Therefore, D18/2Y‐wing‐based OSCs achieve superior PCE 17.73 %, attributed enhanced photocurrent fill factor. Furthermore, exhibit balance improved stability, distinguishing them within 2Y‐sites. Building on success 2Y‐wing in systems, we extend its application ternary by pairing it with near‐infrared absorbing D18/BS3TSe‐4F host. Thanks complementary absorption 300–970 nm further morphology, obtain higher 19.13 setting new benchmark dimer‐derived OSCs.
