Abstract Trap states in organic solar cells (OSCs) can capture free charges, leading to a reduction current density and significant energy loss. Since charge collection is primarily dependent on the interface layer, minimizing trap at interfaces effectively suppress losses, topic that has been rarely explored. Herein, an strategy proposed by combining Me‐4PACz PEDOT:PSS mitigate trap‐assisted nonradiative recombination hole transport layer (HTL). OSCs based Me‐4PACz/PEDOT:PSS exhibit reduced densities low losses compared devices fabricated with single‐layer HTL. This be attributed lower rate during interface. Changes work function of two interlayers due contact result existence built‐in potential inside composite interlayer, promoting reducing loss from recombination. Furthermore, HTL induces vertical phase separation active improvements fill factor for OSCs. As result, high power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) 18.70% 19.02% are achieved binary all‐polymer polymer donor/small molecule acceptor cells, respectively.

Heterojunction interfaces play a crucial role in charge carrier transport, influencing the overall photovoltaic performance of organic solar cells (OSCs). Despite importance, advancements interfacial engineering, especially optimizing microstructure and nanomorphology, have not kept pace with research on photoactive layers. In study, strategy is explored to control self-assembly growth alcohol-soluble Me-4PACz (4P) used as hole transport layer (HTL) OSCs. The surface architecture modified inorganic Co salts via Cu doping UV-ozone treatments, creating smooth top an increased Co3+/Co2+ ratio hydroxyl groups. This meticulous design fine-tuned assembly behavior self-assembled molecules, resulting transition from spherical aggregates more uniform worm-like morphology. Additionally, electrical optical properties are optimized passivate defects enhance wettability solvents, leading improved extraction reduced recombination losses. Consequently, OSC Cu-Co/4P HTL exhibited highest power conversion efficiency 20.42% (certified 20.20%). characteristic universality stability make potential candidate for widespread applications, particularly providing rationalized guidance further

Organic solar cells (OSCs) are a promising emerging photovoltaic technology for energy conversion. Recently, the power conversion efficiencies of OSCs have been improved to get closer their Schottky–Queisser limit. However, operational stability remains as major challenge ahead deployment practical applications. The main causes OSC instability stem from poor intrinsic materials, metastable morphology multicomponent active layer, unstable interfaces, and sensitivity moisture oxygen. To address these issues, it is necessary comprehensive in‐depth understanding fundamentals develop an integrated solution overcome them. Herein, state‐of‐art strategies used improve aspects material design, device processing, encapsulation techniques, in hope delivering rational solutions, summarized. In end, prospects toward future development efficient stable provided.

Both the regional isomerization and selenium-substitution of small molecular acceptors (SMAs) play significant roles in developing efficient organic solar cells (OSCs), while their synergistic effects remain elusive. Herein, we developed three isomeric SMAs (S-CSeF, A-ISeF, A-OSeF) via subtly manipulating mono-selenium substituted position (central, inner, or outer) type heteroaromatic ring on central core by strategies for OSCs, respectively. Crystallography asymmetric A-OSeF presents a closer intermolecular π-π stacking more ordered 3-dimensional network packing charge-hopping pathways. With successive out-shift position, neat films give slightly wider band gap gradually higher crystallinity electron mobility. The PM1 : afford favourable fibrous phase separation morphology with charge transportation compared to other two counterparts. Consequently, A-OSeF-based devices achieve champion efficiency 18.5 %, which represents record value reported selenium-containing binary OSCs. Our precise engineering selenium-based provides promising approach optimizing crystal boosting top-ranked SMAs-based
