Abstract Perylene diimides (PDIs) have emerged as promising materials for cathode interfacial layers (CILs) in organic solar cells (OSCs) due to their advantageous energy level alignment with active layer and insensitivity film thickness, enabling the easy fabrication of efficient large‐area devices. However, inherent low dipole moment PDIs results suboptimal charge transport properties, limiting device performance. Herein, a new strategy by incorporating trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) into PDI material fabricate compound large number moments is introduced. Density functional theory calculations reveal that highly electronegative F groups attract ammonium end PDIN significantly increase from 0.3 2.6 Debye, enhancing transfer OSCs. By optimizing TFA concentration 2% using CILs, champion efficiencies 18.0% 19.5% are achieved state‐of‐the‐art binary comprising PM6:Y6 PM6:L8‐BO (Layer‐by‐Layer), respectively. Notably, these devices maintain 88.3% initial efficiency after 240 h, demonstrating exceptional operational stability. The work shows F‐induced adsorbed not only provides mechanism design but also paves way achieving high‐efficiency stable

In this study, we have successfully incorporated a small molecular acceptor, Y-LC, with conjugated π-extension as secondary acceptor in the PM6:BTP-eC9-based organic photovoltaics. The performance of device was significantly promoted from 18.45% binary system PM6:BTP-eC9 to over 19% ternary minimal Y-LC loading. This enhancement can be attributed alloy-like structures acceptors and optimized active layer morphology, which leads improved hole electron mobilities, thereby suppressing charge recombination, finally resulting higher photocurrent solar cells. Furthermore, complementary absorption is observed PM6 BTP-eC9, broaden spectrum photoactive enable more photons sunlight absorbed. Additionally, facilitates efficient transfer donor by forming cascade energy levels between BTP-eC9. These advantages collectively contribute superior obtained work also highlights that adoption nonfullerene suitable π-extensions minor additive photovoltaics powerful approach for achieving state-of-the-art

The ternary strategy has been evidenced as one of the most crucial methods to improve photovoltaic performance organic solar cells. However, selection and design third components are decisive factors facilitating progress cells (TOSCs). In this study, focuses concentrated on D18‐Cl:N3 binary host device by developing a weakly electron‐withdrawing end group synthesizing guest acceptor, BTP‐CM, which holds similar backbone N3. structure resemblance ensures good compatibility molecule with N3, improves charge transport reduces recombination. Thereby, D18‐Cl:N3:BTP‐CM‐based TOSC exhibits an improved power conversion efficiency 18.32%, compared 17.13% device. This work provides effective for acceptors, aims introduce new groups obtain molecules complementary absorptions matched energy levels while preserving molecular acceptor.
