ABSTRACT Solid additive engineering has been intensively explored on morphology tuning for highly efficient all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs), a promising photovoltaic technology towards multi-scenario application. Although the nano-fibrillar network of active layer induced by treatment is confirmed as key factor power conversion efficiency (PCE) all-PSCs, its formation mechanism not clearly revealed, lack precise and convincing real-time observation crystallization phase separation during liquid-to-solid transition process spin-coating. Herein we report an in-situ grazing incidence wide-angle/small-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS/GISAXS) screening that reveals fact naphthalene derived solid additives can suppress aggregation polymer acceptor (PY-IT) at beginning stage spin coating, which provides sufficient time space donor (PM6) to form fibril structure. Moreover, guided this knowledge, ternary system proposed, achieves cutting-edge level PCEs both small-area (0.04 cm2) (also decent operational stability) large-area (1 devices.

To investigate impact we fabricated p–i–n-structured OPVs with following layer configuration: ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PM6:Y6 (or BTP-eC9) or without PM1/PFN-Br/Ag. By examining miscibility blend film morphology, explored how these factors influence carrier dynamics ultimately OPV performance. The high compatibility between PM1 PM6 (χPM6-PM1 = 0.003) facilitated formation well-mixed donor phase, akin an alloy. This homogeneous promoted efficient charge transport suppressed trap-assisted recombination within film. Consequently, PM1-based exhibited reduced nonradiative recombination, leading increased open-circuit voltage (VOC) overall device efficiency. optimal power conversion efficiencies using Y6 BTP-eC9 acceptors reached 17.09 17.60%, respectively. Our findings highlight potential terpolymers promising materials for OPVs, paving way innovative polymer design strategies.

Abstract Minimizing the energy loss, particularly non-radiative loss (Δ E nr ), without sacrificing charge collection efficiency, is key to further improve photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, we proposed an asymmetric molecular design strategy, via developing alkyl/thienyl hybrid side chain based small molecule acceptors (SMAs) BTP-C11-TBO and BTP-BO-TBO, manipulate intermolecular interactions realize enhanced luminescence efficiency reduced loss. Theoretical experimental results indicate that compared three symmetric SMAs BTP-DC11, BTP-DTBO BTP-DBO, BTP-BO-TBO exhibit repressed electron-vibration coupling Δ . Moreover, nature allows formation multiple D:A interfacial conformations energies, which have made charge-transfer state energies closer strongly absorbing (and emitting) local-exciton state, thus gaining low while maintaining efficient exciton dissociation. Consequently, PM6:BTP-BO-TBO-based OSCs achieve a higher power conversion 19.76%, with high open circuit voltage 0.913 V fill factor 81.17%, profiting from more improved balanced mobility longer carrier lifetime.
