Abstract Side‐chain symmetry‐breaking strategy plays an important role in developing photovoltaic materials for high‐efficiency all‐small‐molecule organic solar cells (ASM OSCs). However, the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of ASM OSCs still lag behind their polymer‐based counterparts, which can be attributed to difficulties achieving favorable morphology. Herein, two asymmetric porphyrin‐based donors named DAPor‐DPP and DDPor‐DPP were synthesized, presenting stronger intermolecular interaction closer molecular stacking compared symmetric ZnP‐TEH. The DAPor‐DPP:6TIC blend afforded a morphology with nanoscale phase separation more ordered packing, thus efficient charge transportation suppressed recombination. Consequently, DAPor‐DPP:6TIC‐based device exhibited superior parameters, yielding champion PCE 16.62% higher than that DDPor‐DPP‐based (14.96%). To our knowledge, ranked as one highest values among binary OSC filed. This work provides prospective approach address challenge improving film further high efficiency via side‐chain strategy, exhibiting great potential constructing OSCs.

Abstract Compared to conventional organic solar cells (OSCs) with acidic PEDOT:PSS as the hole transport layer (HTL), inverted OSCs (i‐OSCs) zinc oxide (ZnO) electron (ETL) display significant advantages in terms of high stability. However, an obvious limitation i‐OSCs is that sol‐gel processed ZnO layers possess detrimental defects at interface, which hinders improvement its photovoltaic performance. To address this problem, a natural, and green dextran (Dex) used efficient interfacial passivator modify layer, thereby achieving enhanced device performance i‐OSCs. The introduction Dex efficiently suppresses recombination loss, resulting higher power conversion efficiencies (PCEs). Interestingly, Dex‐passivated exhibits broad applications ETL for different types i‐OSCs, including fullerene, non‐fullerene, all‐polymer OSCs, D18:Y6 system gives highest PCE 18.32%.

Understanding the thermal degradation mechanism of organic solar cells (OSCs) and developing strategies to enhance their stability are crucial before they can be commercialized. In this paper, we demonstrated that in a structure-inverted ITO/ZnO/PM6/L8-BO/TCTA/MoO3/Ag cell, thin 4,4′,4″-tris(carbazol-9-yl)-triphenylamine (TCTA) film between MoO3 PM6:L8-BO significantly suppress fast short circuit current (JSC) loss slow but continuous open voltage (VOC) fill factor (FF) decay upon 150 °C annealing. XPS TOF–SIMS results confirm annealing leads formation (MoO3)− at MoO3/PM6/L8-BO interface diffusion through photoactive layer. The diffused act as acceptor-type impurities p-doping layer, increasing charge recombination within layer reducing JSC. addition, accumulation cathode consequently decreases VOC FF. thermally induced interfacial model is supported by detailed drift-diffusion simulations. TCTA-interlayer minimizes diffusion, thereby stabilizing cell performance against TCTA-incorporating showed high PCE over 16% after high-temperature hot-press encapsulation, resulting excellent under 85 °C.

Abstract The ternary strategy has proven effective in enhancing the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs), yet identifying optimal third component remains a challenge due to lack theoretical frameworks for predicting its impact based on molecular structure. This study addresses this by proposing quantitative parameters derived from surface electrostatic potential (ESP) as criteria selecting components. asymmetric acceptor BTP‐OS, which exhibits lower total average ESP and larger polarization index relative host acceptor, is introduced into PM6:L8‐BO system. incorporation led weakened ESP‐induced intermolecular interactions reduce miscibility with donor polymer, resulting an optimized multi‐scale morphology blend. Consequently, device achieved efficiency 19.72%, one highest values PM6:L8‐BO‐based devices, enhanced exciton dissociation charge collection, energy disorder, minimized non‐radiative losses. Comparable improvements are also verified PM6:BTP‐eC9 D18:N3 systems, demonstrating broad applicability proposed approach. not only provides practical principle components but establishes broader framework optimizing OSCs, potentially advancing development more efficient OSCs across diverse material systems.
