Abstract All‐polymer organic solar cells (OSCs) have shown unparalleled application potential in the field of flexible wearable electronics recent years due to excellent mechanical and photovoltaic properties. However, small molecule acceptors after polymerization still retain some aggregation properties molecule, falling short ductility requirements for devices. Here, based on multimodal energy dissipation theory, devices are co‐enhanced by adding thermoplastic elastomer material (polyurethane, PU) PM6:PBQx‐TF:PY‐IT‐based active layer films. The construction multi‐fiber network structure decrease films’ residual stresses contribute enhancement carrier transport defect state density. Eventually, PCE (power conversion efficiency) 19.40% is achieved with an effective area 0.102 cm 2 , third‐party certified reaches 19.07%, which highest OSCs currently available. To further validate this strategy large‐area module applications, 25‐cm ‐based super‐flexible modules prepared PCEs 15.48% 14.61%, respectively, demonstration applications implemented.

Nonfused electron acceptors have recently attracted considerable attention, primarily owing to their inherent merits, which encompass straightforward synthetic methodologies, heightened yield efficiencies, and economic viability. In this study, we undertaken the deliberate design synthesis of two distinct nonfused acceptors, denoted as BTIC-4F PTIC-4F, featuring a two-dimensional (2D) extended electron-deficient quinoxaline moiety central core 4H-cyclopenta[1,2-b:5,4-b′]dithiophene (CPDT) bridge that connects cores terminal groups. The crystallinity packing behaviors been finely tuned through strategic manipulation diverse nuclei. Subsequently, PTIC-4F with phenanthrene-fused exhibits enhanced more organized molecular structure. Therefore, structural optimization translates into remarkable outcome, PBDB-T:PTIC-4F-based device achieving substantially elevated power conversion efficiency 11.24% compared its PBDB-T:BTIC-4F counterpart. findings our study underscore promise in extending units viable fruitful avenue for acceptors.

Abstract Exciton binding energy ( E b ) has been regarded as a critical parameter in charge separation during photovoltaic conversion. Minimizing the of materials can facilitate exciton dissociation low‐driving force organic solar cells (OSCs) and thus improve power conversion efficiency (PCE); nevertheless, diminishing with deliberate design principles remains significant challenge. Herein, bulky side chain steric hindrance structure was inserted into Y‐series acceptors to minimize by modulating intra‐ intermolecular interaction. Theoretical experimental results indicate that hindrance‐induced optimal interaction enhance molecular polarizability, promote electronic orbital overlap between molecules, delocalized transfer pathways, thereby resulting low . The conspicuously reduced obtained Y‐ChC5 pinpoint modulation detrimental effects on low‐driving‐force OSCs, achieving remarkable PCE 19.1% over 95% internal quantum efficiency.
