Abstract The dimerization of small molecule acceptors (SMAs) is a promising strategy for enhancing the long‐term stability and power conversion efficiency (PCE) organic solar cells (OSCs). However, reported DSMAs are primarily limited to end‐linked molecular configurations, highlighting need further exploration various dimer architectures. Herein, development two distinct core‐linked dimerized SMAs (DYF‐V DYF‐E) with tailored linker structures (vinylene ethynyl, respectively), achieving high‐performance OSCs (PCE = 18.53%). Interestingly, subtle change in results markedly different properties photovoltaic performances acceptors. DYF‐E an ethynyl exhibits more twisted backbone conformation mitigated aggregation property compared DYF‐V, inducing desirable blend morphologies polymer donor including high crystallinity, face‐on oriented packing structures, well‐intermixed domains. Thus, DYF‐E‐based exhibit PCE (17.02%), which significantly outperforms DYF‐V‐based 9.98%). Furthermore, ternary based on achieve higher 18.53%. this study highlights significance selecting appropriate producing OSCs.

A pyrene-fused dimerized electron acceptor has been successfully synthesized and subsequently incorporated as the third component in ternary organic solar cells (OSCs). Diverging from traditional acceptors with a linear configuration, this novel displays distinctive "butterfly-like" structure, comprising two Y-acceptors wings fused pyrene-based backbone. The extended π-conjugated backbone electron-donating nature of pyrene enable new to show low solubility, elevated glass transition temperature (Tg ), low-lying frontier energy levels. Consequently, seamlessly integrates into OSCs, enhancing transporting properties, reducing non-radiative voltage loss, elevating open-circuit voltage. These merits have enabled OSCs an exceptional efficiency 19.07%, marked improvement compared 17.6% attained binary OSCs. More importantly, high Tg exhibited by helps stabilize morphology photoactive layer thermal-treated at 70 °C, retaining 88.7% over 600 hours. For comparison, experience decline 73.7% after same duration. results indicate that design incorporation unit is promising strategy development for

Abstract High power conversion efficiency (PCE), long‐term stability, and mechanical robustness are prerequisites for the commercial applications of organic solar cells (OSCs). In this study, a new star‐shaped trimer acceptor (TYT‐S) is developed high‐performance OSCs with PCE 19.0%, high photo‐stability ( t 80% lifetime = 2600 h under 1‐sun illumination), crack‐onset strain (COS) 21.6% achieved. The isotropic molecular structure TYT‐S affords efficient multi‐directional charge transport electron mobility. Furthermore, its amorphous prevents formation brittle crystal‐to‐crystal interfaces, significantly enhancing properties OSC. As result, TYT‐S‐based demonstrate higher (19.0%) stretchability (COS 21.6%) than linear‐shaped (TYT‐L)‐based (PCE 17.5% COS 6.4%) small‐molecule (MYT)‐based 16.5% 1.3%). addition, increased size TYT‐S, relative to that MYT dimer (DYT), suppresses diffusion kinetics molecules, substantially improving photostability OSCs. Finally, effectively potential intrinsically stretchable (IS)‐OSCs constructed. IS‐OSCs exhibit device (strain at 31%) 14.4%.

Abstract Giant dimeric acceptor (G‐Dimer) is becoming one of the most promising organic solar cell (OSC) materials because its definite structure, long‐term stability, and high efficiency. Strengthening hetero‐molecular interactions by monomer modification greatly influences morphology thus device performance, but lacks investigation. Herein, two novel quinoxaline core‐based G‐Dimers, Dimer‐QX Dimer‐2CF, are synthesized. By comparing trifluoromethyl‐substituted Dimer‐2CF non‐substituted Dimer‐QX, trifluoromethylation effect on G‐Dimer investigated revealed. The trifluoromethyl with strong electronegativity increases electrostatic potential reduces surface energy G‐Dimer, weakening homo‐molecular ordered packing reinforcing interaction donor. suppresses fast assembly during film formation, facilitating small domains molecular in blend, which a trade‐off conventional control. Together favorable vertical phase separation, efficient charge generation, reduced bimolecular recombination concurrently obtained. Hence, Dimer‐2CF‐based OSCs obtain cutting‐edge efficiency 19.02% fill factor surpassing 80%, an averaged extrapolated T 80 ≈12 000 h under continuous °C heating. This study emphasizes importance strategy, providing facile strategy for designing highly stable OSC materials.

Abstract Achieving both high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and device stability is a major challenge for the practical development of organic solar cells (OSCs). Herein, three non‐fully conjugated dimerized giant acceptors (named 2Y‐sites, including wing‐site‐linked 2Y‐wing, core‐site‐linked 2Y‐core, end‐site‐linked 2Y‐end) are developed. They share similar monomer precursors but have different alkyl‐linked sites, offering fine‐tuned molecular absorption, packing, glass transition temperature, carrier mobility. Among their binary active layers, D18/2Y‐wing has better miscibility, leading to optimized morphology more efficient charge transfer compared D18/2Y‐core D18/2Y‐end. Therefore, D18/2Y‐wing‐based OSCs achieve superior PCE 17.73 %, attributed enhanced photocurrent fill factor. Furthermore, exhibit balance improved stability, distinguishing them within 2Y‐sites. Building on success 2Y‐wing in systems, we extend its application ternary by pairing it with near‐infrared absorbing D18/BS3TSe‐4F host. Thanks complementary absorption 300–970 nm further morphology, obtain higher 19.13 setting new benchmark dimer‐derived OSCs.

Abstract Morphological control of all‐polymer blends is quintessential yet challenging in fabricating high‐performance organic solar cells. Recently, solid additives (SAs) have been approved to be capable tuning the morphology polymer: small‐molecule improving performance and stability devices. Herein, three perhalogenated thiophenes, which are 3,4‐dibromo‐2,5‐diiodothiophene (SA‐T1), 2,5‐dibromo‐3,4‐diiodothiophene (SA‐T2), 2,3‐dibromo‐4,5‐diiodothiophene (SA‐T3), were adopted as SAs optimize cells (APSCs). For blend PM6 PY‐IT, benefitting from intermolecular interactions between thiophenes polymers, molecular packing properties could finely regulated after introducing these SAs. In situ UV/Vis measurement revealed that assist morphological character evolution blend, leading their optimal morphologies. Compared as‐cast device : all SA‐treated binary devices displayed enhanced power conversion efficiencies 17.4–18.3 % with obviously elevated short‐circuit current densities fill factors. To our knowledge, PCE 18.3 for SA‐T1‐treated ranks highest among APSCs date. Meanwhile, universality SA‐T1 other demonstrated unanimously improved performance. This work provide a new pathway realizing APSCs.
