Abstract Cyanogroup (‐CN) is a strongly electron‐withdrawing and highly polar functional group; therefore, cyanation has been extensively utilized to optimize the terminal groups of high‐performance small‐molecule acceptors (SMAs) in organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, by regulating cyanobenzene substitution central core for first time, four novel SMAs are synthesized, named phCN‐F, phCN‐Cl, 2phCN‐F, 2phCN‐Cl. Theoretical experimental analyses have shown that asymmetric symmetric cyanobenzene‐substitution core, coupled with selective groups, can significantly affect intrinsic excitonic properties molecule. Blends based on molecules possess tighter molecular packing more suitable phase separation facilitate exciton dissociation, charge transport, extraction. The optimal device performance phCN‐F‐based OSC reaches 20.16%, which higher than symmetrically substituted OSCs. Furthermore, devices prepared phCN‐F maintain over 90% their initial efficiency after being heated at 85°C 3000 h, demonstrating excellent thermal stability. This study elucidates potential mechanisms optimizing through providing valuable insights further design record‐breaking SMAs.
