Eco‐Compatible Solvent‐Processed Organic Photovoltaic Cells with Over 16% Efficiency

Recent advances in nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) have enabled the rapid increase in power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells. However, this progress is achieved using highly toxic solvents, which are not suitable for the scalable large‐area processing method, becoming one of the biggest factors hindering the mass production and commercial applications of OPVs. Therefore, it is of great importance to get good eco‐compatible processability when designing efficient OPV materials. Here, to achieve high efficiency and good processability of the NFAs in eco‐compatible solvents, the flexible alkyl chains of the highly efficient NFA BTP‐4F‐8 (also known as Y6) are modified and BTP‐4F‐12 is synthesized. Combining with the polymer donor PBDB‐TF, BTP‐4F‐12 shows the best PCE of 16.4%. Importantly, when the polymer donor PBDB‐TF is replaced by T1 with better solubility, various eco‐compatible solvents can be applied to fabricate OPV cells. Finally, over 14% efficiency is obtained with tetrahydrofuran (THF) as the processing solvent for 1.07 cm² OPV cells by the blade‐coating method. These results indicate that the simple modification of the side chain can be used to tune the processability of active layer materials and thus make it more applicable for the mass production with environmentally benign solvents.     

Improved Charge Transport and Reduced Nonradiative Energy Loss Enable Over 16% Efficiency in Ternary Polymer Solar Cells

Recent advances in the material design and synthesis of nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) have revealed a new landscape for polymer solar cells (PSCs) and have boosted the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) to over 15%. Further improvements of the photovoltaic performance are a significant challenge in NFA‐PSCs based on binary donor:acceptor blends. In this study, ternary PSCs are fabricated by incorporating a fullerene derivative, PC₆₁BM, into a combination of a polymer donor (PBDB‐TF) and a fused‐ring NFA (Y6) and a very high PCE of 16.5% (certified as 16.2%) is recorded. Detailed studies suggest that the loading of PC₆₁BM into the PBDB‐TF:Y6 blend can not only enhance the electron mobility but also can increase the electroluminescence quantum efficiency, leading to balanced charge transport and reduced nonradiative energy losses simultaneously. This work suggests that utilizing the complementary advantages of fullerene and NFAs is a promising way to finely tune the detailed photovoltaic parameters and further improve the PCEs of PSCs.     

High‐Performance As‐Cast Nonfullerene Polymer Solar Cells with Thicker Active Layer and Large Area Exceeding 11% Power Conversion Efficiency

In this work, a nonfullerene polymer solar cell (PSC) based on a wide bandgap polymer donor PM6 containing fluorinated thienyl benzodithiophene (BDT‐2F) unit and a narrow bandgap small molecule acceptor 2,2′‐((2Z,2′Z)‐((4,4,9,9‐tetrahexyl‐4,9‐dihydro‐s‐indaceno[1,2‐b:5,6‐b′]dithiophene‐2,7‐diyl)bis(methanylylidene))bis(3‐oxo‐2,3‐dihydro‐1H‐indene‐2,1‐diylidene))dimalononitrile (IDIC) is developed. In addition to matched energy levels and complementary absorption spectrum with IDIC, PM6 possesses high crystallinity and strong π–π stacking alignment, which are favorable to charge carrier transport and hence suppress recombination in devices. As a result, the PM6:IDIC‐based PSCs without extra treatments show an outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.9%, which is the record value for the as‐cast PSC devices reported in the literature to date. Moreover, the device performances are insensitive to the active layer thickness (≈95–255 nm) and device area (0.20–0.81 cm²) with PCEs of over 11%. Besides, the PM6:IDIC‐based flexible PSCs with a large device area of 1.25 cm² exhibit a high PCE of 6.54%. These results indicate that the PM6:IDIC blend is a promising candidate for future roll‐to‐roll mass manufacturing and practical application of highly efficient PSCs.     

Ternary Nonfullerene Polymer Solar Cells with 12.16% Efficiency by Introducing One Acceptor with Cascading Energy Level and Complementary Absorption

A novel small‐molecule acceptor, (2,2′‐((5E,5′E)‐5,5′‐((5,5′‐(4,4,9,9‐tetrakis(5‐hexylthiophen‐2‐yl)‐4,9‐dihydro‐s‐indaceno[1,2‐b:5,6‐b′]dithiophene‐2,7‐diyl)bis(4‐(2‐ethylhexyl)thiophene‐5,2‐diyl))bis(methanylylidene)) bis(3‐hexyl‐4‐oxothiazolidine‐5,2‐diylidene))dimalononitrile (ITCN), end‐capped with electron‐deficient 2‐(3‐hexyl‐4‐oxothiazolidin‐2‐ylidene)malononitrile groups, is designed, synthesized, and used as the third component in fullerene‐free ternary polymer solar cells (PSCs). The cascaded energy‐level structure enabled by the newly designed acceptor is beneficial to the carrier transport and separation. Meanwhile, the three materials show a complementary absorption in the visible region, resulting in efficient light harvesting. Hence, the PBDB‐T:ITCN:IT‐M ternary PSCs possess a high short‐circuit current density (J_sc) under an optimal weight ratio of donors and acceptors. Moreover, the open‐circuit voltage (V_oc) of the ternary PSCs is enhanced with an increase of the third acceptor ITCN content, which is attributed to the higher lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy level of ITCN than that of IT‐M, thus exhibits a higher V_oc in PBDB‐T:ITCN binary system. Ultimately, the ternary PSCs achieve a power conversion efficiency of 12.16%, which is higher than the PBDB‐T:ITM‐based PSCs (10.89%) and PBDB‐T:ITCN‐based ones (2.21%). This work provides an effective strategy to improve the photovoltaic performance of PSCs.     

Improved Performance of All‐Polymer Solar Cells Enabled by Naphthodiperylenetetraimide‐Based Polymer Acceptor

A new polymer acceptor, naphthodiperylenetetraimide‐vinylene (NDP‐V), featuring a backbone of altenating naphthodiperylenetetraimide and vinylene units is designed and applied in all‐polymer solar cells (all‐PSCs). With this polymer acceptor, a new record power‐conversion efficiencies (PCE) of 8.59% has been achieved for all‐PSCs. The design principle of NDP‐V is to reduce the conformational disorder in the backbone of a previously developed high‐performance acceptor, PDI‐V, a perylenediimide‐vinylene polymer. The chemical modifications result in favorable changes to the molecular packing behaviors of the acceptor and improved morphology of the donor–acceptor (PTB7‐Th:NDP‐V) blend, which is evidenced by the enhanced hole and electron transport abilities of the active layer. Moreover, the stronger absorption of NDP‐V in the shorter‐wavelength range offers a better complement to the donor. All these factors contribute to a short‐circuit current density (J _sc) of 17.07 mA cm^?2. With a fill factor (FF) of 0.67, an average PCE of 8.48% is obtained, representing the highest value thus far reported for all‐PSCs.     

Over 14% Efficiency in Polymer Solar Cells Enabled by a Chlorinated Polymer Donor

Fluorine‐contained polymers, which have been widely used in highly efficient polymer solar cells (PSCs), are rather costly due to their complicated synthesis and low yields in the preparation of components. Here, the feasibility of replacing the critical fluorine substituents in high‐performance photovoltaic polymer donors with chlorine is demonstrated, and two polymeric donors, PBDB‐T‐2F and PBDB‐T‐2Cl, are synthesized and compared in parallel. The synthesis of PBDB‐T‐2Cl is much simpler than that of PBDB‐T‐2F. The two polymers have very similar optoelectronic and morphological properties, except the chlorinated polymer possess lower molecular energy levels than the fluorinated one. As a result, the PBDB‐T‐2Cl‐based PSCs exhibit higher open circuit voltage (V_oc) than the PBDB‐T‐2F‐based devices, leading to an outstanding power conversion efficiency of over 14%. This work establishes a more economical design paradigm of replacing fluorine with chlorine for preparing highly efficient polymer donors.     

Highly Efficient p‐i‐n Perovskite Solar Cells Utilizing Novel Low‐Temperature Solution‐Processed Hole Transport Materials with Linear π‐Conjugated Structure

Alternative low‐temperature solution‐processed hole‐transporting materials (HTMs) without dopant are critical for highly efficient perovskite solar cells (PSCs). Here, two novel small molecule HTMs with linear π‐conjugated structure, 4,4′‐bis(4‐(di‐p‐toyl)aminostyryl)biphenyl (TPASBP) and 1,4′‐bis(4‐(di‐p‐toyl)aminostyryl)benzene (TPASB), are applied as hole‐transporting layer (HTL) by low‐temperature (sub‐100 °C) solution‐processed method in p‐i‐n PSCs. Compared with standard poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonic acid) (PEDOT:PSS) HTL, both TPASBP and TPASB HTLs can promote the growth of perovskite (CH₃NH₃PbI₃) film consisting of large grains and less grain boundaries. Furthermore, the hole extraction at HTL/CH₃NH₃PbI₃ interface and the hole transport in HTL are also more efficient under the conditions of using TPASBP or TPASB as HTL. Hence, the photovoltaic performance of the PSCs is dramatically enhanced, leading to the high efficiencies of 17.4% and 17.6% for the PSCs using TPASBP and TPASB as HTL, respectively, which are ≈40% higher than that of the standard PSC using PEDOT:PSS HTL.     

8.78% Efficient All‐Polymer Solar Cells Enabled by Polymer Acceptors Based on a B←N Embedded Electron‐Deficient Unit

In the field of all‐polymer solar cells (all‐PSCs), all efficient polymer acceptors that exhibit efficiencies beyond 8% are based on either imide or dicyanoethylene. To boost the development of this promising solar cell type, creating novel electron‐deficient units to build high‐performance polymer acceptors is critical. A novel electron‐deficient unit containing B←N bonds, namely, BNIDT, is synthesized. Systematic investigation of BNIDT reveals desirable properties including good coplanarity, favorable single‐crystal structure, narrowed bandgap and downshifted energy levels, and extended absorption profiles. By copolymerizing BNIDT with thiophene and 3,4‐difluorothiophene, two novel conjugated polymers named BN‐T and BN‐2fT are developed, respectively. It is shown that these polymers possess wide absorption spectra covering 350–800 nm, low‐lying energy levels, and ambipolar film‐transistor characteristics. Using PBDB‐T as the donor and BN‐2fT as the acceptor, all‐PSCs afford an encouraging efficiency of 8.78%, which is the highest for all‐PSCs excluding the devices based on imide and dicyanoethylene‐type acceptors. Considering that the structure of BNIDT is totally different from these classical units, this work opens up a new class of electron‐deficient unit for constructing efficient polymer acceptors that can realize efficiencies beyond 8% for the first time.     

High‐Performance Nonfullerene Polymer Solar Cells based on Imide‐Functionalized Wide‐Bandgap Polymers

High‐performance nonfullerene polymer solar cells (PSCs) are developed by integrating the nonfullerene electron‐accepting material 3,9‐bis(2‐methylene‐(3‐(1,1‐dicyanomethylene)‐indanone))‐5,5,11,11‐tetrakis(4‐hexylphenyl)‐dithieno[2,3‐d:2′,3′‐d′]‐s‐indaceno[1,2‐b:5,6‐b′]dithiophne) (ITIC) with a wide‐bandgap electron‐donating polymer PTzBI or PTzBI‐DT, which consists of an imide functionalized benzotriazole (TzBI) building block. Detailed investigations reveal that the extension of conjugation can affect the optical and electronic properties, molecular aggregation properties, charge separation in the bulk‐heterojunction films, and thus the overall photovoltaic performances. Single‐junction PSCs based on PTzBI:ITIC and PTzBI‐DT:ITIC exhibit remarkable power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of 10.24% and 9.43%, respectively. To our knowledge, these PCEs are the highest efficiency values obtained based on electron‐donating conjugated polymers consisting of imide‐functionalized electron‐withdrawing building blocks. Of particular interest is that the resulting device based on PTzBI exhibits remarkable PCE of 7% with the thickness of active layer of 300 nm, which is among the highest values of nonfullerene PSCs utilizing thick photoactive layer. Additionally, the device based on PTzBI:ITIC exhibits prominent stability, for which the PCE remains as 9.34% after thermal annealing at 130 °C for 120 min. These findings demonstrate the great promise of using this series of wide‐bandgap conjugated polymers as electron‐donating materials for high‐performance nonfullerene solar cells toward high‐throughput roll‐to‐roll processing technology.     

Environmentally Friendly Solvent‐Processed Organic Solar Cells that are Highly Efficient and Adaptable for the Blade‐Coating Method

The power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of state‐of‐the‐art organic solar cells (OSCs) have increased to over 13%. However, the most commonly used solvents for making the solutions of photoactive materials and the coating methods used in laboratories are not adaptable for future practical production. Therefore, taking a solution‐coating method with environmentally friendly processing solvents into consideration is critical for the practical utilization of OSC technology. In this study, a highly efficient PBTA‐TF:IT‐M‐based device processed with environmentally friendly solvents, tetrahydrofuran/isopropyl alcohol (THF/IPA) and o‐xylene/1‐phenylnaphthalene, is fabricated; a high PCE of 13.1% can be achieved by adopting the spin‐coating method, which is the top result for OSCs. More importantly, a blade‐coated non‐fullerene OSC processed with THF/IPA is demonstrated for the first time to obtain a promising PCE of 11.7%; even for the THF/IPA‐processed large‐area device (1.0 cm²) made by blade‐coating, a PCE of 10.6% can still be maintained. These results are critical for the large‐scale production of highly efficient OSCs in future studies.     

An Unfused‐Core‐Based Nonfullerene Acceptor Enables High‐Efficiency Organic Solar Cells with Excellent Morphological Stability at High Temperatures

Most nonfullerene acceptors developed so far for high‐performance organic solar cells (OSCs) are designed in planar molecular geometry containing a fused‐ring core. In this work, a new nonfullerene acceptor of DF‐PCIC is synthesized with an unfused‐ring core containing two cyclopentadithiophene (CPDT) moieties and one 2,5‐difluorobenzene (DFB) group. A nearly planar geometry is realized through the F···H noncovalent interaction between CPDT and DFB for DF‐PCIC. After proper optimizations, the OSCs with DF‐PCIC as the acceptor and the polymer PBDB‐T as the donor yield the best power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.14% with a high fill factor of 0.72. To the best of our knowledge, this efficiency is among the highest values for the OSCs with nonfullerene acceptors owning unfused‐ring cores. Furthermore, no obvious morphological changes are observed for the thermally treated PBDB‐T:DF‐PCIC blended films, and the relevant devices can keep ≈70% of the original PCEs upon thermal treatment at 180 °C for 12 h. This tolerance of such a high temperature for so long time is rarely reported for fullerene‐free OSCs, which might be due to the unique unfused‐ring core of DF‐PCIC. Therefore, the work provides new idea for the design of new nonfullerene acceptors applicable in commercial OSCs in the future.     

Fine‐Tuning the Energy Levels of a Nonfullerene Small‐Molecule Acceptor to Achieve a High Short‐Circuit Current and a Power Conversion Efficiency over 12% in Organic Solar Cells

Organic solar cell optimization requires careful balancing of current–voltage output of the materials system. Here, such optimization using ultrafast spectroscopy as a tool to optimize the material bandgap without altering ultrafast photophysics is reported. A new acceptor–donor–acceptor (A–D–A)‐type small‐molecule acceptor NCBDT is designed by modification of the D and A units of NFBDT. Compared to NFBDT, NCBDT exhibits upshifted highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level mainly due to the additional octyl on the D unit and downshifted lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO) energy level due to the fluorination of A units. NCBDT has a low optical bandgap of 1.45 eV which extends the absorption range toward near‐IR region, down to ≈860 nm. However, the 60 meV lowered LUMO level of NCBDT hardly changes the V_oc level, and the elevation of the NCBDT HOMO does not have a substantial influence on the photophysics of the materials. Thus, for both NCBDT‐ and NFBDT‐based systems, an unusually slow (≈400 ps) but ultimately efficient charge generation mediated by interfacial charge‐pair states is observed, followed by effective charge extraction. As a result, the PBDB‐T:NCBDT devices demonstrate an impressive power conversion efficiency over 12%—among the best for solution‐processed organic solar cells.     

Conjugated Donor–Acceptor Terpolymers Toward High‐Efficiency Polymer Solar Cells

The development of conjugated alternating donor–acceptor (D–A) copolymers with various electron‐rich and electron‐deficient units in polymer backbones has boosted the power conversion efficiency (PCE) over 17% for polymer solar cells (PSCs) over the past two decades. However, further enhancements in PCEs for PSCs are still imperative to compensate their imperfect stability for fulfilling practical applications. Meanwhile development of these alternating D–A copolymers is highly demanding in creative design and syntheses of novel D and/or A monomers. In this regard, when being possible to adopt an existing monomer unit as a third component from its libraries, either a D′ unit or an A′ moiety, to the parent D–A type polymer backbones to afford conjugated D–A terpolymers, it will give a facile and cost‐effective method to improve their light absorption and tune energy levels and also interchain packing synergistically. Moreover, the rationally controlled stoichiometry for these components in such terpolymers also provides access for further fine‐tuning these factors, thus resulting in high‐performance PSCs. Herein, based on their unique features, the recent progress of conjugated D–A terpolymers for efficient PSCs is reviewed and it is discussed how these factors influence their photovoltaic performance, for providing useful guidelines to design new terpolymers toward high‐efficiency PSCs.     

Stable and Efficient Organo‐Metal Halide Hybrid Perovskite Solar Cells via π‐Conjugated Lewis Base Polymer Induced Trap Passivation and Charge Extraction

High‐quality pinhole‐free perovskite film with optimal crystalline morphology is critical for achieving high‐efficiency and high‐stability perovskite solar cells (PSCs). In this study, a p‐type π‐conjugated polymer poly[(2,6‐(4,8‐bis(5‐(2‐ethylhexyl) thiophen‐2‐yl)‐benzo[1,2‐b:4,5‐b′] dithiophene))‐alt‐(5,5‐(1′,3′‐di‐2‐thienyl‐5′,7′‐bis(2‐ethylhexyl) benzo[1′,2′‐c:4′,5′‐c′] dithiophene‐4,8‐dione))] (PBDB‐T) is introduced into chlorobenzene to form a facile and effective template‐agent during the anti‐solvent process of perovskite film formation. The π‐conjugated polymer PBDB‐T is found to trigger a heterogeneous nucleation over the perovskite precursor film and passivate the trap states of the mixed perovskite film through the formation of Lewis adducts between lead and oxygen atom in PBDB‐T. The p‐type semiconducting and hydrophobic PBDB‐T polymer fills in the perovskite grain boundaries to improve charge transfer for better conductivity and prevent moisture invasion into the perovskite active layers. Consequently, the PSCs with PBDB‐T modified anti‐solvent processing leads to a high‐efficiency close to 20%, and the devices show excellent stability, retaining about 90% of the initial power conversion efficiency after 150 d storage in dry air.     

11.2% All‐Polymer Tandem Solar Cells with Simultaneously Improved Efficiency and Stability

All‐polymer solar cells (all‐PSCs) that contain both p‐type and n‐type polymeric materials blended together as light‐absorption layers have attracted much attention, since the blend of a polymeric donor and acceptor should present superior photochemical, thermal, and mechanical stability to those of small molecular‐based organic solar cells. In this work, the interfacial stability is studied by using highly stable all‐polymer solar cell as a platform. It is found that the thermally deposited metal electrode atoms can diffuse into the active layer during device storage, which consequently greatly decreases the power conversion efficiency. Fortunately, the diffusion of metal atoms can be slowed down and even blocked by using thicker interlayer materials, high‐glass‐transition‐temperature interlayer materials, or a tandem device structure. Learning from this, homojunction tandem all‐PSCs are successfully developed that simultaneously exhibit a record power conversion efficiency over 11% and remarkable stability with efficiency retaining 93% of the initial value after thermally aging at 80 °C for 1000 h.     

Highly Efficient Ternary‐Blend Polymer Solar Cells Enabled by a Nonfullerene Acceptor and Two Polymer Donors with a Broad Composition Tolerance

In this work, highly efficient ternary‐blend organic solar cells (TB‐OSCs) are reported based on a low‐bandgap copolymer of PTB7‐Th, a medium‐bandgap copolymer of PBDB‐T, and a wide‐bandgap small molecule of SFBRCN. The ternary‐blend layer exhibits a good complementary absorption in the range of 300–800 nm, in which PTB7‐Th and PBDB‐T have excellent miscibility with each other and a desirable phase separation with SFBRCN. In such devices, there exist multiple energy transfer pathways from PBDB‐T to PTB7‐Th, and from SFBRCN to the above two polymer donors. The hole‐back transfer from PTB7‐Th to PBDB‐T and multiple electron transfers between the acceptor and the donor materials are also observed for elevating the whole device performance. After systematically optimizing the weight ratio of PBDB‐T:PTB7‐Th:SFBRCN, a champion power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 12.27% is finally achieved with an open‐circuit voltage (V _oc) of 0.93 V, a short‐circuit current density (J _sc) of 17.86 mA cm^?2, and a fill factor of 73.9%, which is the highest value for the ternary OSCs reported so far. Importantly, the TB‐OSCs exhibit a broad composition tolerance with a high PCE over 10% throughout the whole blend ratios.     

Fused‐Ring Acceptors with Asymmetric Side Chains for High‐Performance Thick‐Film Organic Solar Cells

A kind of new fused‐ring electron acceptor, IDT‐OB, bearing asymmetric side chains, is synthesized for high‐efficiency thick‐film organic solar cells. The introduction of asymmetric side chains can increase the solubility of acceptor molecules, enable the acceptor molecules to pack closely in a dislocated way, and form favorable phase separation when blended with PBDB‐T. As expected, PBDB‐T:IDT‐OB‐based devices exhibit high and balanced hole and electron mobility and give a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.12%. More importantly, the IDT‐OB‐based devices are not very sensitive to the film thickness, a PCE of 9.17% can still be obtained even the thickness of active layer is up to 210 nm.     

Aromatic‐Diimide‐Based n‐Type Conjugated Polymers for All‐Polymer Solar Cell Applications

All‐polymer solar cells (all‐PSCs) have attracted immense attention in recent years due to their advantages of tunable absorption spectra and electronic energy levels for both donor and acceptor polymers, as well as their superior thermal and mechanical stability. The exploration of the novel n‐type conjugated polymers (CPs), especially based on aromatic diimide (ADI), plays a vital role in the further improvement of power conversion efficiency (PCE) of all‐PSCs. Here, recent progress in structure modification of ADIs including naphthalene diimide (NDI), perylene diimide (PDI), and corresponding derivatives is reviewed, and the structure–property relationships of ADI‐based CPs are revealed.     

Rational Tuning of Molecular Interaction and Energy Level Alignment Enables High‐Performance Organic Photovoltaics

The performance of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) has rapidly improved over the past years. Recent work in material design has primarily focused on developing near‐infrared nonfullerene acceptors with broadening absorption that pair with commercialized donor polymers; in the meanwhile, the influence of the morphology of the blend film and the energy level alignment on the efficiency of charge separation needs to be synthetically considered. Herein, the selection rule of the donor/acceptor blend is demonstrated by rationally considering the molecular interaction and energy level alignment, and highly efficient OPV devices using both‐fluorinated or both‐nonfluorinated donor/acceptor blends are realized. With the enlarged absorption, ideal morphology, and efficient charge transfer, the devices based on the PBDB‐T‐F/Y1‐4F blend and PBDB‐T‐F/Y6 exhibit champion power conversion efficiencies as high as 14.8% and 15.9%, respectively.     

Fused Benzothiadiazole: A Building Block for n‐Type Organic Acceptor to Achieve High‐Performance Organic Solar Cells

Narrow bandgap n‐type organic semiconductors (n‐OS) have attracted great attention in recent years as acceptors in organic solar cells (OSCs), due to their easily tuned absorption and electronic energy levels in comparison with fullerene acceptors. Herein, a new n‐OS acceptor, Y5, with an electron‐deficient‐core‐based fused structure is designed and synthesized, which exhibits a strong absorption in the 600–900 nm region with an extinction coefficient of 1.24 × 10⁵ cm^?1, and an electron mobility of 2.11 × 10^?4 cm² V^?1 s^?1. By blending Y5 with three types of common medium‐bandgap polymers (J61, PBDB‐T, and TTFQx‐T1) as donors, all devices exhibit high short‐circuit current densities over 20 mA cm^?2. As a result, the power conversion efficiency of the Y5‐based OSCs with J61, TTFQx‐T1, and PBDB‐T reaches 11.0%, 13.1%, and 14.1%, respectively. This indicates that Y5 is a universal and highly efficient n‐OS acceptor for applications in organic solar cells.
