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 To exploit the potential of our newly developed three‐dimensional (3D) dimerized acceptors, a series chlorinated 3D acceptors (namely CH8‐3/4/5) were reported by precisely tuning position chlorine (Cl) atom. The introduction Cl atom in central unit affects molecular conformation. Whereas, replacing fluorinated terminal groups (CH8‐3) with (CH8‐4 and CH8‐5), red‐shift absorption enhanced crystallization are achieved. Benefiting from these, all devices received promising power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) over 16 % as well decent thermal/photo‐stabilities. Among them, PM6:CH8‐4 based device yielded best PCE 17.58 %. Besides, merits multi alkyl chains enable their versatile processability during preparation. Impressive PCEs 17.27 16.23 could be achieved for non‐halogen solvent processable prepared glovebox ambient, respectively. 2.88 cm 2 modules also obtained 13 via spin‐coating blade‐coating methods, These results among performance acceptors. CH8‐4 on small‐area devices, solvent‐processed highlights processing capability applications future.

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. This approach site engineering constructing presents promising pathway improve

Abstract The simultaneous improvement of efficiency and stability organic solar cells (OSCs) for commercialization remains a challenging task. Herein, we designed asymmetric acceptors DT‐C8Cl DT‐C8BTz with functional haloalkyl chains, in which the halogen atoms could induce noncovalent interactions heteroatoms like O, S, Se, etc ., thus leading to appropriately manipulated film morphology. Consequently, binary devices based on D18: achieved champion power conversion (PCE) 19.40 %. higher PCE be attributed enhanced π–π stacking, improved charge transport, reduced recombination losses. In addition, induced by chains effectively suppress unfavorable morphology evolutions thereby reduce trap density states, thermal storage stability. Overall, our findings reveal that rational design is novel powerful strategy simultaneously enhancing OSCs.

Abstract Designing new acceptors is critical for intrinsically stretchable organic solar cells (IS‐OSCs) with high efficiency and mechanical robustness. However, nearly all polymer exhibit limited high‐performance small molecular are very brittle. In this regard, we select thienylene‐alkane‐thienylene (TAT) as the conjugate‐break linker synthesize four dimerized by regulation of connecting sites halogen substitutions. It found that substitutions considerably impact overall electronic structures, aggregation behaviors, charge transport properties. Benefiting from optimization structure, acceptor exhibits rational phase separation within blend films, which significantly facilitates exciton dissociation while effectively suppressing recombination processes. Consequently, FDY‐m‐TAT‐based rigid OSCs render highest power conversion (PCE) 18.07 % among reported containing linker. Most importantly, IS‐OSCs achieve PCE (14.29 %) remarkable stretchability (crack‐onset strain [COS]=18.23 %), surpassing Y6‐based counterpart (PCE=12.80 COS=8.50 %). To sum up, these findings demonstrate linkers have immense potential in developing highly efficient mechanically robust 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.
