Enhancing the built-in electric field to promote charge dynamitic process is of great significance boost performance non-fullerene organic solar cells (OSCs), which has rarely been concerned. In this work, we introduced a cheap ferroelectric polymer as an additive into active layers OSCs improve device performance. An additional and permanent electrical was produced by polarization dipoles, can substantially enhance field. The promoted exciton separation, significantly accelerated transport, reduced recombination, well optimized film morphology were observed in device, leading improved PVDF-modified with various layers, such PM6 : Y6, BTP-eC9, IT-4F PTB7-Th Y6. Especially, record efficiency 17.72 % for Y6-based OSC outstanding 18.17 BTP-eC9-based achieved.

State-of-art Y-series polymer acceptors are typically based on a mono-thiophene linker, which can cause some twisted molecular conformations and thus limit the performance of all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs). Here, high-performance acceptor vinylene linkers is reported, leads to surprising changes in polymers' conformations, optoelectronic properties, enhanced photovoltaic performance. It found that thiophene or bithiophene (PY-T-γ PY-2T-γ) display significant twisting between end-groups linker units, while vinylene-based (PY-V-γ) exhibits more coplanar rigid conformation. As result, PY-V-γ demonstrates better conjugation tighter interchain stacking, results higher mobility reduced energetic disorder. Furthermore, detailed morphology investigations reveal PY-V-γ-based blend high domain purity fill factor its all-PSCs. With these, efficiency 17.1% achieved all-PSCs, highest reported for binary all-PSCs date. This work vinylene-linker superior unit build with chain conformation, beneficial aggregation efficient

Although the rapid development of polymer solar cells (PSCs) has been achieved, it is still a great challenge to explore efficient ways for improving power conversion efficiency (PCE) PSCs from materials and device engineering. Ternary strategy confirmed as an way improve PCE by employing three kinds materials. In this work, one donor PM6, two non-fullerene N3 MF1 are selected prepare ternary with layer-by-layer (LbL) or bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) structure. The LbL BHJ-PSCs exhibit PCEs 16.75% 16.76% 15 wt% content in acceptors, corresponding over 5% 4% improvement compared N3-based binary BHJ mainly attributed fill factor enhancement 73.29% 76.95% LbL-PSCs 74.13% 77.51% strategy. This work indicates that potential preparing highly via simultaneously optimizing molecular arrangement thickness each layer.

Abstract Here, a near‐infrared (NIR)‐absorbing small‐molecule acceptor (SMA) Y‐SeNF with strong intermolecular interaction and crystallinity is developed by combining selenophene‐fused core naphthalene‐containing end‐group, then as custom‐tailor guest incorporated into the binary PM6:L8‐BO host system. shows 65 nm red‐shifted absorption compared to L8‐BO. Thanks of Y‐SeNF, morphology PM6:L8‐BO:Y‐SeNF can be precisely regulated introducing achieving improved charge‐transporting suppressed non‐radiative energy loss. Consequently, ternary polymer solar cells (PSCs) offer an impressive device efficiency 19.28% both high photovoltage (0.873 V) photocurrent (27.88 mA cm −2 ), which one highest efficiencies in reported single‐junction PSCs. Notably, PSC has excellent stability under maximum‐power‐point tracking for even over 200 h, better than its parental devices. The study provides novel strategy construct NIR‐absorbing SMA efficient stable PSCs toward practical applications.

High efficiency organic solar cells (OSCs) based on A-DA'D-A type small molecule acceptors (SMAs) were mostly fabricated by toxic halogenated solvent processing, and power conversion (PCE) of the non-halogenated processed OSCs is mainly restricted excessive aggregation SMAs. To address this issue, we developed two vinyl π-spacer linking-site isomerized giant (GMAs) with linking inner carbon (EV-i) or out (EV-o) benzene end group SMA longer alkyl side chains (ECOD) for capability solvent-processing. Interestingly, EV-i possesses a twisted molecular structure but enhanced conjugation, while EV-o shows better planar weakened conjugation. The OSC as acceptor o-xylene (o-XY) demonstrated higher PCE 18.27 % than that devices ECOD (16.40 %) (2.50 %). one highest PCEs among from solvents so far, benefitted suitable structure, stronger absorbance high charge carrier mobility EV-i. results indicate GMAs site would be excellent candidates fabricating performance solvents.
