All-Polymer Solar Cells with 17% Efficiency Enabled by the "End-Capped" Ternary Strategy.

ABSTRACT: Recently, all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) have received increasing attention and made tremendous progress. However, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of all-PSCs still lags behind the polymer-donor-small-molecule-acceptor based organic solar cells, owing to the excessive phase separation with poor miscibility between polymer donor and acceptor. In this research, an "end-capped" ternary strategy is proposed by introducing PM6TPO as a third component to fabricate highly efficient all-PSCs. The PM6:PM6TPO:PY-IT based ternary devices exhibit impressive PCE of 17.0% with enhanced light absorption and optimal morphology, and the introduction of PM6TPO significantly reduces the phase separation. The ternary devices also exhibit improved stability, outstanding tolerance of active layer thic
