Abstract Improving power conversion efficiency (PCE) is important for broadening the applications of organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. Here, a maximum PCE 19.0% (certified value 18.7%) achieved in single‐junction OPV cells by combining material design with ternary blending strategy. An active layer comprising new wide‐bandgap polymer donor named PBQx‐TF and low‐bandgap non‐fullerene acceptor (NFA) eC9‐2Cl rationally designed. With optimized light utilization, resulting binary cell exhibits good 17.7%. NFA F‐BTA3 then added to as third component simultaneously improve parameters. The improved unitization, cascaded energy level alignment, enhanced intermolecular packing result open‐circuit voltage 0.879 V, short‐circuit current density 26.7 mA cm −2 , fill factor 0.809. This study demonstrates that further improvement PCEs high‐performance requires fine tuning electronic structures morphologies layers.

Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have progressed steadily through three stages of photoactive materials development: (i) use poly(3-hexylthiophene) and fullerene-based acceptors (FAs) for optimizing bulk heterojunctions; (ii) development new donors to better match with FAs; (iii) non-fullerene (NFAs). The application NFAs an A–D–A configuration (where A = acceptor D donor) has enabled devices efficient charge generation small energy losses (Eloss < 0.6 eV), resulting in substantially higher power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) than FA-based devices. discovery Y6-type (Y6 2,2′-((2Z,2′Z)-((12,13-bis(2-ethylhexyl)-3,9-diundecyl-12,13-dihydro-[1,2,5]-thiadiazolo[3,4-e]-thieno[2″,3″:4′,5′]thieno-[2′,3′:4,5]pyrrolo-[3,2-g]thieno-[2′,3′:4,5]thieno-[3,2-b]indole-2,10-diyl)bis(methanylylidene))bis(5,6-difluoro-3-oxo-2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-2,1-diylidene))dimalononitrile) A–DA′ D–A further propelled the PCEs go beyond 15% due smaller Eloss values (∼0.5 eV) external quantum efficiencies.
