Abstract
Double-fibril network morphology (DFNM), in which the donor and the acceptor can self-assemble into a double-fibril structure, is beneficial for exciton dissociation and charge transport in organic solar cells. Herein, it is demonstrated that such DFNM can be constructed and optimized in all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) with the assistance of 2-alkoxynaphthalene volatile solid additives. It is revealed that the incorporation of 2-alkoxynaphthalene can induce a stepwise regulation in the aggregation of donor and acceptor molecules during film casting and thermal annealing processes. Through altering the alkoxy of 2-alkoxynaphthalene solid additives, both the intermolecular interactions and molecular miscibility with the host materials can be precisely tuned, which allows for the optimization of the molecular aggregation process and facilitation of molecular self-assembly, and thus leading to reinforced molecular packing and optimized DFNM. As a result, an unprecedented efficiency of 19.50% (certified as 19.1%) is obtained for 2-ethoxynaphthalene-processed PM6:PY-DT-X all-PSCs with excellent photostability (T80 = 1750 h). This work reveals that the optimization of DFNM via solid additive strategy is a promising avenue to boosting the performance of all-PSCs.

Abstract
High power conversion efficiency (PCE) and long-term stability are essential prerequisites for the commercialization of polymer solar cells (PSCs). Small-molecule acceptors (SMAs) are core materials that have led to recent, rapid increases in the PCEs of the PSCs. However, a critical limitation of the resulting PSCs is their poor long-term stability. Blend morphology degradation from rapid diffusion of SMAs with low glass transition temperatures (Tgs) is considered the main cause of the poor long-term stability of the PSCs. The recent emergence of oligomerized SMAs (OSMAs), composed of two or more repeating SMA units (i.e., dimerized and trimerized SMAs), has shown great promise in overcoming these challenges. This innovation in material design has enabled OSMA-based PSCs to reach impressive PCEs near 19% and exceptional long-term stability. In this review, we summarize the evolution of OSMAs, including their research background and recent progress in molecular design. In particular, we discuss the mechanisms for high PCE and stability of OSMA-based PSCs and suggest useful design guidelines for high-performance OSMAs. Furthermore, we reflect on the existing hurdles and future directions for OSMA materials towards achieving commercially viable PSCs with high PCEs and operational stabilities.

Abstract
Flexible and stretchable organic solar cells (OSCs) show great promise in wearable and stretchable electronic applications. However, current high-performance OSCs consisting of polymer donors (PDs) and small-molecule acceptors (SMAs) face significant challenges in achieving both high power conversion efficiency (PCE) and excellent stretch-ability. In this study, we synthesized a new polymerized-small-molecule acceptor (P-SMA) PY-SiO featuring siloxane-terminated side chains and compared its photovoltaic and mechanical performance to that of the reference PY-EH with ethylhexyl-terminated side chains. We found that the incorporation of siloxane-terminated side chains in PY-SiO enhanced the molecular aggregation and charge transport, leading to an optimized film morphology. The resultant of all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) based on PBDB-T/PY-SiO showed a higher PCE of 12.04% than the PY-EH-based one (10.85%). Furthermore, the siloxane-terminated side chains also increased the interchain distance and provided a larger free volume for chain rotation and reconfiguration, resulting in a higher film crack-onset strain (COS: 18.32% for PBDB-T/PY-SiO vs 11.15% for PBDB-T/PY-EH). Additionally, the PY-SiO-based stretchable all-PSCs exhibited an impressive PCE of 9.8% and retained >70% of its original PCE even under a substantial 20% strain, exceeding the performance of the PY-EH-based stretchable all-PSCs. Our result suggests the great potential of the siloxane-terminated side chain for achieving high-performance and stretchable OSCs.

Abstract
Morphological control of all-polymer blends is quintessential yet challenging in fabricating high-performance organic solar cells. Recently, solid additives (SAs) have been approved to be capable in tuning the morphology of polymer: small-molecule blends improving the performance and stability of devices. Herein, three perhalogenated thiophenes, which are 3,4-dibromo-2,5-diiodothiophene (SA-T1), 2,5-dibromo-3,4-diiodothiophene (SA-T2), and 2,3-dibromo-4,5-diiodothiophene (SA-T3), were adopted as SAs to optimize the performance of all-polymer organic solar cells (APSCs). For the blend of PM6 and PY-IT, benefitting from the intermolecular interactions between perhalogenated thiophenes and polymers, the molecular packing properties could be finely regulated after introducing these SAs. In situ UV/Vis measurement revealed that these SAs could assist morphological character evolution in the all-polymer blend, leading to their optimal morphologies. Compared to the as-cast device of PM6 : PY-IT, all SA-treated binary devices displayed enhanced power conversion efficiencies of 17.4-18.3 % with obviously elevated short-circuit current densities and fill factors. To our knowledge, the PCE of 18.3 % for SA-T1-treated binary ranks the highest among all binary APSCs to date. Meanwhile, the universality of SA-T1 in other all-polymer blends is demonstrated with unanimously improved device performance. This work provide a new pathway in realizing high-performance APSCs.

Abstract
Polymerization of Y6-type acceptor molecules leads to bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells with both high power-conversion efficiency and device stability, but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Here we show that the exciton recombination dynamics of polymerized Y6-type acceptors (Y6-PAs) strongly depends on the degree of aggregation. While the fast exciton recombination rate in aggregated Y6-PA competes with electron-hole separation at the donor-acceptor (D-A) interface, the much-suppressed exciton recombination rate in dispersed Y6-PA is sufficient to allow efficient free charge generation. Indeed, our experimental results and theoretical simulations reveal that Y6-PAs have larger miscibility with the donor polymer than Y6-type small molecular acceptors, leading to D-A percolation that effectively prevents the formation of Y6-PA aggregates at the interface. Besides enabling high charge generation efficiency, the interfacial D-A percolation also improves the thermodynamic stability of the blend morphology, as evident by the reduced device "burn-in" loss upon solar illumination.

Abstract
Improving the charge mobility and optoelectronic properties of indacenodithiophene-based small molecule acceptors is a key challenge to improving overall efficiency. In this current research, seven newly designed molecules (DT1-DT7) comprising the indacenodithiophene-based core are presented to tune energy levels, enhance charge mobility, and improve the photovoltaic performance of IDTV-ThIC molecules via density functional theory. All the molecules were designed by end-capped modification by substituting terminal acceptors of IDTV-ThIC with strong electron-withdrawing moieties. Among all the examined structures, DT1 has proved itself a superior molecule in multiple aspects, including higher λmax in chloroform (787 nm) and gaseous phase (727 nm), narrow band gap (2.16 eV), higher electron affinity (3.31 eV), least excitation energy (1.57 eV), and improved charge mobility due to low reorganization energy and higher excited state lifetime (2.37 ns) when compared to the reference (IDTV-ThIC) and other molecules. DT5 also showed remarkable improvement in different parameters, such as the lowest exciton binding energy (0.41 eV), leading to easier charge moveability. The improved open-circuit voltage of DT4 and DT5 makes them proficient molecules exhibiting the charge transfer phenomenon. The enlightened outcomes of these molecules can pave a new route to develop efficient organic solar cell devices using these molecules, especially DT1, DT4, and DT5.

Abstract
Series of giant molecule acceptors DY, TY and QY with two, three and four small molecule acceptor subunits are synthesized by a stepwise synthetic method and used for systematically investigating the influence of subunit numbers on the structure-property relationship from small molecule acceptor YDT to giant molecule acceptors and to polymerized small molecule acceptor PY-IT. Among these acceptors-based devices, the TY-based film shows proper donor/acceptor phase separation, higher charge transfer state yield and longer charge transfer state lifetime. Combining with the highest electron mobility, more efficient exciton dissociation and lower charge carrier recombination properties, the TY-based device exhibits the highest power conversion efficiency of 16.32%. These results indicate that the subunit number in these acceptors has significant influence on their photovoltaic properties. This stepwise synthetic method of giant molecule acceptors will be beneficial to diversify their structures and promote their applications in high-efficiency and stable organic solar cells.

Abstract
The shortage of narrow band gap polymer acceptors with high electron mobility is the major bottleneck for developing efficient all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs). Herein, we synthesize a distannylated electron-deficient biselenophene imide monomer (BSeI-Tin) with high purity/reactivity, affording an excellent chance to access acceptor-acceptor (A-A) type polymer acceptors. Copolymerizing BSeI-Tin with dibrominated monomer Y5-Br, the resulting A-A polymer PY5-BSeI shows a higher molecular weight, narrower band gap, deeper-lying frontier molecular orbital levels and larger electron mobility than the donor-acceptor type counterpart PY5-BSe. Consequently, the PY5-BSeI-based all-PSCs deliver a remarkable efficiency of 17.77 % with a high short-circuit current of 24.93 mA cm-2 and fill factor of 75.83 %. This efficiency is much higher than that (10.70 %) of the PY5-BSe-based devices. Our study demonstrates that BSeI is a promising building block for constructing high-performance polymer acceptors and stannylation of electron-deficient building blocks offers an excellent approach to developing A-A type polymers for all-PSCs and even beyond.

Abstract
All-polymer solar cells have attracted considerable research interest due to their superior morphological stabilities, stretchability, and mechanical durability. However, the morphology optimization of the all-polymer bulk heterojunctions remains challenging due to the two long conjugated polymer chains, limiting its power conversion efficiency. Herein, we focus on the donor-acceptor phase segregation of an all-polymer active layer composed of PM6/PY-IT, a state-of-the-art all-polymer combination, by the introduction of volatile solid additives. Especially with 1,3-dibromo-5-chlorobenzene (DBCl) as the processing additive, we could effectively tune the miscibility between PM6 and PY-IT and thus optimize the phase segregation of the polymer donor and acceptor. Due to the synergetic effects on the favorable phase segregation and desired donor-acceptor distribution, the DBCl-treated devices feature the evident improvement of charge transport and collection, accompanied by the suppressed trap-assisted charge recombination. We consequently achieved a champion device efficiency of 16.5% (16.4% averaged), which is a 13% improvement compared with the control device without DBCl (14.6%). Our results highlight the importance of altering the miscibility of the polymer donor-acceptor pairs for practical applications of high-performance all-polymer solar cells.

Abstract
Distributed photovoltaics in living environment harvest the sunlight in different incident angles throughout the day. The development of planer solar cells with large light-receiving angle can reduce the requirements in installation form factor and is therefore urgently required. Here, thin film organic photovoltaics with nano-sized phase separation integrated in micro-sized surface topology is demonstrated as an ideal solution to proposed applications. All-polymer solar cells, by means of a newly developed sequential processing, show large magnitude hierarchical morphology with facilitated exciton-to-carrier conversion. The nano fibrilar donor-acceptor network and micron-scale optical field trapping structure in combination contributes to an efficiency of 19.06% (certified 18.59%), which is the highest value to date for all-polymer solar cells. Furthermore, the micron-sized surface topology also contributes to a large light-receiving angle. A 30% improvement of power gain is achieved for the hierarchical morphology comparing to the flat-morphology devices. These inspiring results show that all-polymer solar cell with hierarchical features are particularly suitable for the commercial applications of distributed photovoltaics due to its low installation requirement.

Abstract
Halogenation of organic semiconductors is an efficient strategy for improving the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs), while the introduction of halogens usually involves complex synthetic process and serious environment pollution problems. Herein, three halogen-free ternary copolymer donors (PCNx, x = 3, 4, 5) based on electron-withdrawing dicyanobenzotriazole are reported. When blended with the Y6, PCN3 with strong interchain interactions results in appropriate crystallinity and thermodynamic miscibility of the blend film. Grazing-incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering measurements indicate that PCN3 has more ordered arrangement and stronger π-π stacking than previous PCN2. Fourier-transform photocurrent spectroscopy and external quantum efficiency of electroluminescence measurements show that PCN3-based OSCs have lower energy loss than PCN2, which leads to their higher open-circuit voltage (0.873 V). The device based on PCN3 reaches power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.33% in binary OSCs, one of the highest values for OSCs with halogen-free donor polymers. The PCE of 17.80% and 18.10% are obtained in PM6:PCN3:Y6 and PM6:PCN3:BTP-eC9 ternary devices, much higher than those of PM6:Y6 (16.31%) and PM6:BTP-eC9 (17.33%) devices. Additionally, this ternary OSCs exhibit superior stability compared to binary host system. This work gives a promising path for halogen-free donor polymers to achieve low energy loss and high PCE.

Abstract
High-performance all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) deeply rely on the joint contributions of desirable optical absorption, adaptive energy levels, and appropriate morphology. Herein, two structural analogous polymerized small-molecule acceptors (PSMAs), PYFCl-T and PYF&PYCl-T, are synthesized, and then incorporated into the PM6:PY-IT binary blends to construct ternary all-PSCs. Due to the superior compatibility of PY-IT and PYFCl-T, the ternary all-PSC based on PM6:PY-IT:PYFCl-T with 10 wt% PYFCl-T, presents higher and more balanced charge mobility, suppressed charge recombination, and faster charge-transfer kinetics, resulting in an outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 18.12% with enhanced Jsc and FF, which is much higher than that (PCE of 16.09%) of the binary all-PSCs based on PM6:PY-IT. Besides, the ternary all-PSCs also exhibit improved photostability. The conspicuous performance enhancement principally should give the credit to the miscibility-driven phase optimization of the donor and acceptor. These findings highlight the significance of polymer-backbone configuration modulation of PSMAs in morphology optimization toward boosting the device properties of all-PSCs.

Abstract
Polymerized small-molecule acceptors (PSMAs) have made significant progress as the application in all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs). Most PSMAs are constructed by near-infrared fused-ring electron acceptors via Stille polymerization, such as Y-series acceptors. However, very limited non-fused electron acceptors with simplified synthetic complexity have been used in PSMAs. In this work, two non-fused PSMAs with a benzothiadiazole (BT) core are developed for application in all-PSCs. The S-O non-covalent interaction and the regioregularity have been introduced to improve the crystallinity and charge transport properties. As a result, a high-power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 11.42% with an enhanced photocurrent has been obtained in these regioregular PBTO-γ-based solar cells, representing the highest PCEs based on non-fused PSMAs. The encouraging results will intrigue more design of non-fused PSMAs toward high-performance all-PSCs.

Abstract
The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) has ascended rapidly arising from the development of polymerized small-molecule acceptor materials. However, numerous insulating long alkyl chains, which ensure the solubility of the polymer, result in inferior aggregation and charge mobility. Herein, this study proposes a facile random copolymerization strategy of two small molecule acceptor units with different lengths of alkyl side chains and synthesizes a series of polymer acceptors PYT-EHx, where x is the percentage of the short alkyl chain units. The aggregation strength and charge mobility of the acceptors rise linearly with increasing the proportion of short alkyl chain units. Thus, the PYT-EH20 reaches balanced aggregation with the star polymer donor PBDB-T, resulting in optimal morphology, fastest carrier transport, and reduced recombination and energy loss. Consequently, the PYT-EH20-based device yields a 14.8% PCE, a 16% improvement over the control PYT-EH0-based device, accompanied by an increase in open-circuit voltage (Voc ), short-circuit current density (Jsc ), and fill factor (FF). This work demonstrates that the random copolymerization strategy with short alkyl chain insertion is an effective avenue for developing high-performance polymer acceptors, which facilitates further advances in the efficiency of all-PSCs.

Abstract
Although all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) show great commercialization prospects, their power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) still fall behind their small molecule acceptor-based counterparts. In all-polymer blends, the optimized morphology and high molecular ordering are difficult to achieve since there is troublesome competition between the crystallinity of the polymer donor and acceptor during the film-formation process. Therefore, it is challenging to improve the performance of all-PSCs. Herein, a ternary strategy is adopted to modulate the morphology and the molecular crystallinity of an all-polymer blend, in which PM6:PY-82 is selected as the host blend and PY-DT is employed as a guest component. Benefiting from the favorable miscibility of the two acceptors and the higher regularity of PY-DT, the ternary matrix features a well-defined fibrillar morphology and improved molecular ordering. Consequently, the champion PM6:PY-82:PY-DT device produces a record-high PCE of 18.03%, with simultaneously improved open-circuit voltage, short-circuit current and fill factor in comparison with the binary devices. High-performance large-area (1 cm2 ) and thick-film (300 nm) all-PSCs are also successfully fabricated with PCEs of 16.35% and 15.70%, respectively.Moreover, 16.5 cm2 organic solar module affords an encouraging PCE of 13.84% when using the non-halogenated solvent , showing the great potential of "Lab-to-Fab" transition of all-PSCs.

Abstract
All-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) have been widely studied owing to their unique mechanical flexibility and stability. However, all-PSCs have a lower efficiency than small-molecule acceptor-based PSCs. In the work, a ternary quasi-all-polymer solar cell (Q-all-PSC) using a synergy of the ternary strategy and solid additive engineering is reported. The introduction of PC71BM can not only match the energy level of the photoactive materials with an improved open circuit voltage (VOC) of the ternary devices but also enhance photon capture, which can improve short circuit current density. It is found that there is effective charge transfer between PC71BM and PY-IT, which can form an electron transport channel and promote efficient charge transport. Moreover, the introduction of PC71BM made the PM6/PY-IT/PC71BM ternary blends more crystalline while slightly reducing phase separation, resulting in a suitable domain size. Importantly, by introducing a high dielectric-constant PFBEK solid additive as the fasten matrix, the Q-all-PSC's efficiency can reach 16.42%. This method provides a new idea for future research on all-polymer solar cells.

Abstract
Achieving a finely tuned active layer morphology with a suitable vertical phase to facilitate both charge generation and charge transport has long been the main goal for pursuing the highly efficient bulk heterojunction all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs). Herein, a solution to address the above challenge via synergistically combining the ternary blend strategy and the layer-by-layer (LbL) procedure is proposed. By introducing a synthesized polymer acceptor (PA ), PY-Cl, with higher crystallinity into the designed host acceptor PY-SSe-V, vertical phase distribution and molecular ordering of the LbL-type ternary all-PSCs can be improved in comparison to the LbL-type PM6/PY-SSe-V binary all-PSCs. The formation of the superior bulk microstructure can not only promote charge transport and extraction properties but also reduce energetic disorder and non-radiative recombination loss, thus improving all three photovoltaic parameters simultaneously. Consequently, the PM6/(PY-SSe-V:PY-Cl) ternary all-PSCs show the best efficiency of 18.14%, which is among the highest values reported to date for all-PSCs. This work provides a facile and effective LbL-type ternary strategy for obtaining high-efficiency all-PSCs.

Abstract
With the great potential of the all-polymer solar cells for large-area wearable devices, both large-area device efficiency and mechanical flexibility are very critical but attract limited attention. In this work, from the perspective of the polymer configurations, two types of terpolymer acceptors PYTX-A and PYTX-B (X = Cl or H) are developed. The configuration difference caused by the replacement of non-conjugated units results in distinct photovoltaic performance and mechanical flexibility. Benefiting from a good match between the intrinsically slow film-forming of the active materials and the technically slow film-forming of the blade-coating process, the toluene-processed large-area (1.21 cm2 ) binary device achieves a record efficiency of 14.70%. More importantly, a new parameter of efficiency stretchability factor (ESF) is proposed for the first time to comprehensively evaluate the overall device performance. PM6:PYTCl-A and PM6:PYTCl-B yield significantly higher ESF than PM6:PY-IT. Further blending with non-conjugated polymer donor PM6-A, the best ESF of 3.12% is achieved for PM6-A:PYTCl-A, which is among the highest comprehensive performances.

Abstract
Organic solar cells (OSCs) based on conjugated block copolymers (CBCs) have gained considerable attention owing to their simple one-pot solution process. However, their power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) require significant improvement. Furthermore, the majority of efficient CBC-based OSCs are processed using environmentally toxic halogenated solvents. Herein, we develop a new CBC (PBDB-T-b-PY5BDT) and demonstrate efficient and stable OSCs achieved by a halogen-free solution process. We design a (D1-A1)-b-(D1-A2)-type CBC (PBDB-T-b-PY5BDT) that shares the same benzodithiophene (BDT) units in donor and acceptor blocks. This alleviates unfavorable molecular interactions between the blocks at their interfaces. The PBDB-T-b-PY5BDT-based devices exhibit a high PCE (10.55%), and they show good mechanical, thermal, and storage stabilities. Importantly, we discuss the potential of our OSCs by preparing two different control systems: one based on a binary polymer blend (PBDB-T:PY5BDT) and another based on a conjugated random copolymer (CRC, PBDB-T-r-PY5BDT). We demonstrate that the photovoltaic performance, device stability, and mechanical robustness of the CBC-based OSCs exceed those of the binary all-polymer solar cells and CRC-based OSCs.

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 thickness, and high performance of 1 cm2 unit cells. More importantly, the "end-capped" ternary strategy enables efficient and facile improvement of all-PSCs performance without additional selection and complicated synthesis for the third component.

Abstract
A group of regioregular polymer acceptors is synthesized by polymerizing Y6 moieties with different linker units including thiophene, vinylene, 2,2'-bithiophene, and thieno[3,2-b]thiophene, and their optoelectrical properties and photovoltaic performances are studied systematically. It is found that the linker units have significant impacts on the backbone planarity, conjugation, and hence optoelectrical properties of polymer acceptors. The vinylene-based PYF-V-o polymer shows a smaller dihedral angle between the end groups and vinylene units and a more rigid polymer backbone, thus affording bathochromic absorption and better electron-transporting capacity. As a result, the PM6:PYF-V-o based all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) are able to achieve the highest power conversion efficiency of 16.4% with an unprecedented small voltage loss of 0.49 V. Moreover, the PM6:PYF-V-o blend exhibits good resistance to environmental stressors and the air-processed PM6:PYF-V-o cells can still maintain a high efficiency of 16.1%, which is the best air-processed all-PSC efficiency reported to date. This study provides the structural-property guidance that can be used to facilitate the development of polymer acceptors for all-PSCs.

Abstract
Despite remarkable breakthrough made by virtue of "polymerized small-molecule acceptor (PSMA)" strategy recently, the limited selection pool of high-performance polymer acceptors and long-standing challenge in morphology control impede their further developments. Herein, three PSMAs of PYDT-2F, PYDT-3F, and PYDT-4F are developed by introducing different fluorine atoms on the end groups and/or bithiophene spacers to fine-tune their optoelectronic properties for high-performance PSMAs. The PSMAs exhibit narrow bandgap and energy levels that match well with PM6 donor. The fluorination promotes the crystallization of the polymer chain for enhanced electron mobility, which is further improved by following n-doping with benzyl viologen additive. Moreover, the miscibility is also improved by introducing more fluorine atoms, which promotes the intermixing with PM6 donor. Among them, PYDT-3F exhibits well-balanced high crystallinity and miscibility with PM6 donor; thus, the layer-by-layer processed PM6/PYDT-3F film obtains an optimal nanofibril morphology with submicron length and ≈23 nm width of fibrils, facilitating the charge separation and transport. The resulting PM6/PYDT-3F devices realizes a record high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.41% and fill factor of 77.01%, higher than the PM6/PYDT-2F (PCE = 16.25%) and PM6/PYDT-4F (PCE = 16.77%) devices.

Abstract
Developing organic solar cells (OSCs) based on a ternary active layer by simply incorporating a third component is one of the most effective approaches to improve their photovoltaic performance. However, limited success has been achieved in all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs). In this study, a ternary all-PSC with improved efficiency and stability is realized by using J71 as the third component to adjust the host system of PBDB-T:PG1. The deeper highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO) energy level of J71 downshifts the mixed HOMO energy levels of donors. The two polymer donors (PD s) have good miscibility and present Förster resonance energy transfer. When blended with PG1, the optimized morphology is obtained, showing enhanced crystallinity but meanwhile slightly reduced phase separation with improved exciton dissociation and collection efficiency, suppressed monomer and bimolecular recombination, and reduced energy loss (0.55 eV). Combining the benefits mentioned above, the ternary all-PSC exhibits an excellent efficiency of 12.8% with simultaneously elevated open-circuit voltage (0.96 V), short-circuit current density (18.4 mA cm-2 ), and fill factor (72.2%) when compared with binary devices. Moreover, the optimized ternary all-PSC shows improved storage stability and thermal stability. This study demonstrates that the utilization of a ternary all-polymer system based on two well-miscible PD s is an effective strategy to enhance the photovoltaic performance and stability of all-PSCs.
