Abstract Limited by large batch differences and inferior polymerization degree of current polymer acceptors, the potential high efficiency stability advantages all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) cannot be fully utilized. Alternatively, largely π-extended structurally definite oligomer acceptors are effective strategies to realize overall performance acceptors. Herein, we report a linear tetramer acceptor namely 4Y-BO with identical molecular skeleton comparable molecular-weight relative control PY-BO. The shows refined film-forming kinetics improved ordering, offering uniform crystallinity donor hence well-defined fibrous heterojunction textures. Encouragingly, PM6:4Y-BO devices achieve an up 19.75% (certified efficiency:19.58%), surpassing that PM6:PY-BO device (15.66%) ranks highest among based on More noticeably, thermal stability, photostability mechanical flexibility collectively enhanced for devices.

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. Consequently, PM6:L8‐BO:Cl‐QTP‐4F‐based achieve 19.0% efficiency, which state‐of‐the‐art based superior devices host (17.70%) guests H‐QTP‐4F (18.23%), Br‐QTP‐4F (18.39%), I‐QTP‐4F (17.62%).

Disordered polymer chain entanglements within all-polymer blends limit the formation of optimal donor-acceptor phase separation. Therefore, developing effective methods to regulate morphology evolution is crucial for achieving morphological features in organic solar cells (APSCs). In this study, two isomers, 4,5-difluorobenzo-c-1,2,5-thiadiazole (SF-1) and 5,6-difluorobenzo-c-1,2,5-thiadiazole (SF-2), were designed as solid additives based on widely-used electron-deficient benzothiadiazole unit nonfullerene acceptors. The incorporation SF-1 or SF-2 into PM6 : PY-DT blend induces stronger molecular packing via interaction, leading continuous interpenetrated networks with suitable phase-separation vertical distribution. Furthermore, after treatment SF-2, exciton diffusion lengths films are extended over 40 nm, favoring charge transport. asymmetrical characterized by an enhanced dipole moment, increases power conversion efficiency (PCE) PY-DT-based device 18.83 % due electrostatic interactions. Moreover, a ternary strategy boosts PCE SF-2-treated APSC 19 %. This work not only demonstrates one best performances APSCs but also offers approach manipulate using rational-designed additives.

ABSTRACT Solid additive engineering has been intensively explored on morphology tuning for highly efficient all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs), a promising photovoltaic technology towards multi-scenario application. Although the nano-fibrillar network of active layer induced by treatment is confirmed as key factor power conversion efficiency (PCE) all-PSCs, its formation mechanism not clearly revealed, lack precise and convincing real-time observation crystallization phase separation during liquid-to-solid transition process spin-coating. Herein we report an in-situ grazing incidence wide-angle/small-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS/GISAXS) screening that reveals fact naphthalene derived solid additives can suppress aggregation polymer acceptor (PY-IT) at beginning stage spin coating, which provides sufficient time space donor (PM6) to form fibril structure. Moreover, guided this knowledge, ternary system proposed, achieves cutting-edge level PCEs both small-area (0.04 cm2) (also decent operational stability) large-area (1 devices.

Abstract The molecular conformation of giant molecule acceptors (GMAs) plays a significant role in regulating the intermolecular interactions and their photovoltaic performances organic solar cells (OSCs). For linear GMA GT‐l, stronger homo‐molecular interaction causes its aggregation being weakly affected by donor, thus forming an ordered stacking proper phase separation blend film. star‐shaped GT‐s‐based film shows dominant hetero‐molecular that suppresses donor acceptor, resulting smaller more uniform vertical distribution. While for another GTs, weakest to form larger separation. Therefore, GT‐l based OSC with PM6 as highest charge mobilities, fastest transfer (CT) process, reduced energy loss less recombination, contributing higher power conversion efficiency (PCE) 19.03%. Comparatively, PCEs OSCs on GTs GT‐s are 18.05% 17.58% respectively. Notably, all three GMAs show excellent thermal stability long‐term storage stability. This study provides facile strategy tuning linking unit connecting mode designing highly efficient stable materials.
