Abstract Volatile solid (VS)‐additives are regarded as an effective tool to manipulate morphology of sequential deposited (SD) active layers for improving power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) organic solar cells (OSCs), while the independent effect VS‐additives on donor and acceptor is often overlooked. Herein, a new VS‐additive named 2‐(2‐methoxyphenyl)benzo[ b ]thiophene (BTO) synthesized applied in SD binary PM6/L8‐BO layers. Introducing it into bottom PM6 layer (PM6 + ), BTO has low...

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...

Abstract Two novel narrow bandgap π‐conjugated polymers based on naphtho[1,2‐ c :5,6‐ ′]bis([1,2,5]thiadiazole) (NT) unit are developed, which contain the thiophene or benzodithiophene flanked with alkylthiophene as electron‐donating segment. Both copolymers exhibit strong aggregations both in solution and thin films. The resulting higher molecular weight show photovoltaic performance by virtue of enhanced short‐circuit current densities fill factors, can be attributed to their absorptivity...

Linking‐site engineering, used to graft two or more monomers, are crucial for achieving high‐performance Y‐series giant molecule acceptors (Y‐GMAs). However, the reported Y‐GMAs all use a single‐typed linking site, making it difficult finely‐tune their optoelectronic properties. Herein, we develop non‐fully conjugated Y‐GMA (named 2Y‐we), with hybrid sites at wing and end‐group of combine respective advantages site linked counterparts. Compared its parental monomer, 2Y‐we shows different...
