Abstract The ternary strategy has proven effective in enhancing the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs), yet identifying optimal third component remains a challenge due to lack theoretical frameworks for predicting its impact based on molecular structure. This study addresses this by proposing quantitative parameters derived from surface electrostatic potential (ESP) as criteria selecting components. asymmetric acceptor BTP‐OS, which exhibits lower total average ESP and larger polarization index relative host acceptor, is introduced into PM6:L8‐BO system. incorporation led weakened ESP‐induced intermolecular interactions reduce miscibility with donor polymer, resulting an optimized multi‐scale morphology blend. Consequently, device achieved efficiency 19.72%, one highest values PM6:L8‐BO‐based devices, enhanced exciton dissociation charge collection, energy disorder, minimized non‐radiative losses. Comparable improvements are also verified PM6:BTP‐eC9 D18:N3 systems, demonstrating broad applicability proposed approach. not only provides practical principle components but establishes broader framework optimizing OSCs, potentially advancing development more efficient OSCs across diverse material systems.

All-small-molecule OSCs (ASM-OSCs) have garnered significant attention for their inherent advantages, including low batch-to-batch variations and well-defined molecular structures. However, power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) are relatively inferior, mainly imputed to the challenges in controlling active layer morphologies. Herein, FSBTSeHR, a small-molecule donor (SMD) was added B1:BTP-eC9 blend. FSBTSeHR exhibits high crystallinity, improving packing ternary Furthermore, has better miscibility with host B1 than BTP-eC9, leading proper nanoscale phase separation morphology layer. The optimized facilitates charge transport extraction while suppressing recombination devices. Transient absorption spectroscopy (TAS) reveals rapid exciton dissociation diffusion process blend of B1:FSBTSeHR:BTP-eC9, which is consistent its improved morphology. Thus, device obtained remarkable PCE (17.04%), one highest values ASM-OSCs date.

Polythiophene donors offer scalable and cost-effective solutions for the organic photovoltaic industry. A thorough understanding of structure–property–performance relationship is essential advancing polythiophene-based solar cells (PTOSCs) with high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Herein, we develop two polythiophene donors─PTTz-CN PTTz-CN(T2)─to verify energy loss–quantum efficiency relationship. The strong preaggregation property PTTz-CN improves quantum in spite nonradiative recombination loss, while PTTz-CN(T2) chains are weakly preaggregated, causing low efficiency, accompanied by loss though. Synergistically optimized achieved judiciously mixing PTTz-CN(T2), delivering outstanding PCEs up to 16.4% PTOSC system 19.6% an archetype a high-performing OSC containing optimal PTTz-CN:PTTz-CN(T2) composition. We highlight significance desirable balance between via molecular interaction tuning improve performances.

Abstract All‐polymer solar cells (all‐PSCs), comprising polymer donors and polymerized small‐molecule acceptors (PSMAs), hold significant promise for industrial production owing to their superior device efficiencies stability. However, the lower molecular weights weaker crystallinity of PSMAs lead low electron mobility, while achieving high in all‐PSCs typically rely on use highly volatile chloroform. These challenges have been addressed through development self‐assembled monolayers (SAMs) as a novel interfacial layer, offering improved transparency, stability, sensitivity surface passivation. This research investigates SAMs, specifically 2PACz, hole transporting layer (HTL) all‐PSCs, employing sequential processing strategy with toluene solvent mitigate aforementioned challenges. study achieves efficient 2PACz‐based all‐PSC at 19.19% (certificated 18.51%), which is new record by non‐halogen solvents.
