Herein, a straightforward vacuum‐assisted method is introduced to enhance the stability of nonfullerene organic solar cells (OSCs). The method, termed “prevacuum” involves subjecting active layer (D18:Y6) low‐pressure vacuum (−1 bar) before thermal annealing at 100 °C. Compared untreated devices, prevacuum‐treated OSCs exhibit notable increase in power conversion efficiency from 13.71% 14.90%. This enhancement attributed improved light absorption and charge extraction, as evidenced by external quantum measurements. Moreover, prevacuum treatment significantly improves device under operational conditions, with 30% loss occurring after 8.25 h compared 4.5 for devices. improvement removal volatile components impurities during process, leading more hydrophobic stable layer. study demonstrates efficacy simple accessible enhancing performance longevity OSCs, paving way their broader application sustainable energy technologies.

Abstract Boosting power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs) has been restricted by its undesirably high energy loss, especially for those nonhalogenated solvent‐processed ones. Here,a dichloro‐methoxylated terminal group in an asymmetric small molecular acceptor design, which realizes a significantly reduced non‐radiative loss (0.179 eV) compared to symmetric counterpart (0.202 eV), is reported. Consequently, the device improved up 20% PM6:BTP‐eC9‐4ClO, without sacrificing photon harvest or charge transport ability control system PM6:BTP‐eC9. Further characterizations reveal BTP‐eC9‐4ClO's blend film demonstrates suppressed triplet state formation, enabled enhanced electron delocalization. In addition, BTP‐eC9‐4ClO found be thermally stabler than BTP‐eC9, and thus providing stability, whose T80 value reaches > 7800 h under 80 °C anneal N 2 via linear extrapolation.
