Abstract At present, organic solar cells (OSCs) stand at a key stage of industrialization. Although many photovoltaic materials exhibit outstanding performance, they cannot meet the requirements for large‐scale production. Here, cost‐effective and high‐throughput method is reported to prepare Perylene/naphthalene‐diimide (PDI/NDI) non‐conjugated polymers serving as cathode interlayer (CIL) in OSCs. By utilizing low‐cost raw materials, NDI/PDI can be readily synthesized without involving purification by column chromatography, which minimizes cost CILs. Notably, performance PDI‐OEG CIL insensitive preparation conditions processing methods, thereby lowering technical threshold practical applications, essentially important using binary blend PM6:L8‐BO an active layer, OSC modified exhibited power conversion efficiency (PCE) 18.7%. It demonstrated that suitable work function, self‐doping effect, H‐aggregate endowed with excellent electron collection capability, suppress charge recombination Moreover, well‐compatible large‐area blade‐coating technique, 1‐cm 2 fabricated blade‐coated PDI‐OEG, delivering PCE 17.0%.

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.

Both the regional isomerization and selenium-substitution of small molecular acceptors (SMAs) play significant roles in developing efficient organic solar cells (OSCs), while their synergistic effects remain elusive. Herein, we developed three isomeric SMAs (S-CSeF, A-ISeF, A-OSeF) via subtly manipulating mono-selenium substituted position (central, inner, or outer) type heteroaromatic ring on central core by strategies for OSCs, respectively. Crystallography asymmetric A-OSeF presents a closer intermolecular π-π stacking more ordered 3-dimensional network packing charge-hopping pathways. With successive out-shift position, neat films give slightly wider band gap gradually higher crystallinity electron mobility. The PM1 : afford favourable fibrous phase separation morphology with charge transportation compared to other two counterparts. Consequently, A-OSeF-based devices achieve champion efficiency 18.5 %, which represents record value reported selenium-containing binary OSCs.
