摘要
This study underscores the significance of precisely manipulating the morphology of the active layer in organic solar cells (OSCs). By blending polymer donors of D18 with varying molecular weights, a multiscale interpenetrating fiber network structure within the active layer is successfully created. The introduction of 10% low molecular weight D18 (LW-D18) into high molecular weight D18 (HW-D18) produces MIX-D18, which exhibits an extended exciton diffusion distance and orderly molecular stacking. Devices utilizing MIX-D18 demonstrate superior electron and hole transport, improves exciton dissociation, enhances charge collection efficiency, and reduces trap-assisted recombination compared to the other two materials. Through the use of the nonfullerene acceptor L8-BO, a remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 20.0% is achieved. This methodology, which integrates the favorable attributes of high and low molecular weight polymers, opens a new avenue for enhancing the performance of OSCs. MIX-D18, by mixing HW-D18 (high molecular weight D18) and LW-D18 (low molecular weight D18), can form multiscale fibrous morphology. The finer nanofibers of HW-D18 can increase Donor/Acceptor contact, enhancing exciton dissociation and collection efficiency, while the thicker nanofibers of LW-D18 can improve crystallinity and boost charge transport capability. Ultimately, a efficiency of 20.0% is achieved by MIX-D18:L8-BO device. image
