The long exciton diffusion length (LD) plays an important role in promoting dissociation, suppressing charge recombination, and improving the transport process, thereby performance of organic solar cells (OSCs), especially thick-film OSCs. However, limited LD hinders further improvement device as film thickness increases. Here, organic-metal platinum complex, namely TTz-Pt, is synthesized served a solid additive into D18-Cl:L8-BO system. addition TTz-Pt enhanced crystallinity blends, reduced energy disorder, trap density, decreased non-radiative recombination binding energy, which conducive to prolonging TTz-Pt-treated film, facilitating dissociation process along with inhibiting recombination. Consequently, D18:L8-BO:IDIC (100 nm) exhibits champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) 20.12% (certified 19.54%), one highest PCEs reported for OSCs date. Remarkably, record-breaking PCE 18.84% yielded active layer 300 nm.

Abstract Halogenation of Y‐series small‐molecule acceptors (Y‐SMAs) is identified as an effective strategy to optimize photoelectric properties for achieving improved power‐conversion‐efficiencies (PCEs) in binary organic solar cells (OSCs). However, the effect different halogenation 2D‐structured large π‐fused core guest Y‐SMAs on ternary OSCs has not yet been systematically studied. Herein, four 2D‐conjugated (X‐QTP‐4F, including halogen‐free H‐QTP‐4F, chlorinated Cl‐QTP‐4F, brominated Br‐QTP‐4F, and iodinated I‐QTP‐4F) by attaching halogens into 2D‐conjugation extended dibenzo[ f , h ]quinoxaline are developed. Among these X‐QTP‐4F, Cl‐QTP‐4F a higher absorption coefficient, optimized molecular crystallinity packing, suitable cascade energy levels, complementary with PM6:L8‐BO host. Moreover, among PM6:L8‐BO:X‐QTP‐4F blends, PM6:L8‐BO:Cl‐QTP‐4F obtains more uniform size‐suitable fibrillary network morphology, well vertical phase distribution, thus boosting charge generation, transport, extraction, suppressing loss OSCs.

Silver sulfide nanocrystals (Ag2S NCs) with second near-infrared (NIR-II) emission and excellent biocompatibility hold great attraction for in vivo imaging. However, current Ag2S NCs suffer severely low photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQYs), limiting the penetration depth. Herein, based on computational prediction, we proposed a facile synchronous passivation strategy employing non-toxic MgCl2 as passivator simultaneous Mg-doping chlorination of (Syn-Ag2S). Spectroscopic studies including femtosecond transient absorption measurement (fs-TAS) temperature-dependent PL spectra revealed that syn-passivation successfully enlarged nonradiative activation energy reduced defect states exciton-photon interaction, thus resulting record high absolute PLQY 46 ± 2% at 1220 nm among toxic-element-free NIR-II probes. The boosted unlocks potential deep lymph node profile lumbar nodes was clearly distinguished by Syn-Ag2S, while clinical indocyanine green (ICG) failed to do so. This also establishes an approach developing other ultrabright used not only bioimaging but photovoltaics LEDs.

Minimizing energy loss is crucial for breaking through the efficiency bottleneck of organic solar cells (OSCs). The main mechanism can be attributed to non-radiative recombination (ΔEnr) that occurs due exciton-vibration coupling. To tackle this challenge, tuning intramolecular noncovalent interactions strategically utilized tailor novel fused ring electron acceptors (FREAs). Upon comprehensive analysis both theoretical and experimental results, approach effectively enhance molecular rigidity, suppress structural relaxation, reduce exciton reorganization energy, weakens coupling strength. Consequently, binary OSC device based on Y-SeSe, which features dual strong Se ⋅ O interactions, achieves an outstanding power conversion (PCE) 19.49 %, accompanied by extremely small ΔEnr 0.184 eV, much lower than those Y-SS Y-SSe devices with weaker interactions. These achievements not only set record selenium-containing OSCs, but also mark lowest reported value among high-performance devices. Furthermore, ternary blend showcases a remarkable PCE 20.51 one highest PCEs single-junction OSCs.
