Abstract By selectively interacting with acceptor components, various typed solid additives achieve boosted power conversion efficiency (PCE) in organic solar cells (OSCs). However, due to the efficient active layer being composed of donor and materials, it is difficult obtain desired morphology by manipulating component alone, limiting further improvement PCEs. Herein, two a same backbone thiophene‐benzene‐thiophene (halogen‐free D1‐H) but different halogen substituents (fluorinated D1‐F chlorinated D1‐Cl) are developed probe working mechanism halogenated variation OSCs. Unlike D1‐H continuous charge distributions, D1‐Cl show isolated positive distribution benzene‐core negative thiophene, offering stronger non‐covalent interactions both (PM6) (L8‐BO), especially D1‐Cl. Consequently, D1‐Cl‐treated obtains an optimized phase separation improved molecular packing, boosting PCE 18.59% device stability OSCs, 17.62% for D1‐H‐treated counterparts. Moreover, using D18:L8‐BO D18:BTP‐eC9 as layers, binary OSCs impressive PCEs 19.29% 19.39%, respectively. This work indicates that halogenation engineering can effectively regulate improving elucidates underlying mechanism.
