Abstract The hole‐transporting material (HTM), poly (3,4‐ethylene dioxythiophene) poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT : PSS), is the most widely used in realization of high‐efficiency organic solar cells (OSCs). However, stability PEDOT PSS‐based OSCs quite poor, arising from its strong acidity and hygroscopicity. In addition, PSS has an absorption infrared region high highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level, thus limiting enhancement short‐circuit current density ( J sc ) open‐circuit voltage V oc ), respectively. Herein, two asymmetric self‐assembled molecules (SAMs), namely BrCz BrBACz, were designed synthesized as HTM binary based on well‐known system PM6 Y6, eC9, L8‐BO, D18 eC9. Compared with BrCz, BrBACz shows larger dipole moment, deeper work function lower surface energy. Moreover, not only enhances photon harvesting active layer, but also minimizes losses well improves interface charge extraction/ transport. Consequently, eC9‐based OSC using exhibits a champion efficiency 19.70 % remarkable 29.20 mA cm −2 0.856 V, which record for so far. unencapsulated device maintains 95.0 original after 1,000 hours storage at air ambient, indicating excellent long‐term stability.

The ternary strategy has been intensively studied to improve the power conversion efficiencies of organic photovoltaics. Thereinto, location guest component plays a critical role, but few reports have devoted this concern. Hereon, distribution LA1 as acceptor in variety scenarios is reported and dominating driving forces managing operating modes are outlined. Governed by appropriate relationship compatibility, crystallinity, surface energies between host acceptors, well interfacial interactions donor dual most molecules permeate into internal phases, forming embedded host/guest alloy-like aggregations. characteristic distributions greatly optimize morphologies, maximize energy transfer, enhance exciton/charge behaviors. Particularly, PM6:IT-4F:LA1 cells afford high efficiency 15.27% with impressive fill factors (FF) over 81%. popularization studies further verify superiority LA1-involved alloy structures, Y6-family component, an outstanding 19.17% received. results highlight importance systems shed light on governing distributing guests cells.

Abstract All-small-molecule organic solar cells with good batch-to-batch reproducibility combined non-halogen solvent processing show great potential for commercialization. However, of all-small-molecule are rarely reported and its power conversion efficiencies very difficult to improve. Herein, we designed synthesized a small molecule donor BM-ClEH that can take advantage strong aggregation property induced by intramolecular chlorine-sulfur non-covalent interaction improve molecular pre-aggregation in tetrahydrofuran corresponding micromorphology after film formation. Tetrahydrofuran-fabricated based on BM-ClEH:BO-4Cl achieved high 15.0% binary device 16.1% ternary under thermal annealing treatment. In contrast, weakly aggregated BM-HEH without bond is almost inefficient same conditions due poor disordered π-π stacking, indistinct phase separation exciton dissociation.

Consequently, significantly enhanced efficiency 18.62% device is achieved, accompanied increased short‐circuit current density ( J SC ), fill factor (FF), open‐circuit voltage V OC ). Building on success, replacing Y6 with BTP‐eC9 leads an outstanding PCE 19.33% OSCs.

This paper explores a novel group of D-π-A configurations that has been specifically created for organic solar cell applications. In these material compounds, the phenothiazine, furan, and two derivatives thienyl-fused IC act as donor, π-conjugated spacer, end-group acceptors, respectively. We assess impact substituents by introducing bromine atoms at potential substitution sites on each acceptor (EG1 EG2). With donor π-bridge held constant, we have employed density functional theory time-dependent DFT simulations to explore photophysical optoelectronic properties tailored compounds (M1–M6). demonstrated how structural modifications influence materials cells. Moreover, all proposed exhibit greater Voc exceeding 1.5 V, suitable HOMO-LUMO energy gap (2.14–2.30 eV), higher dipole moments (9.23–10.90 D). Various decisive key factors are crucial exploring compounds—frontier molecular orbitals, transition matrix, electrostatic potential, open-circuit voltage, maximum absorption, reduced gradient, charge transfer length (Dindex)—were also explored. Our analysis delivers profound insights into design principles optimizing performance applications based halogenated compounds.
