Achieving 16.68% efficiency ternary as-cast organic solar cells

Ruijie Ma et al.

Summary: This article introduces highly efficient ternary OSCs based on PM6:BTP-ClBr1:BTP-2O-4Cl-C12, with 16.68% power conversion efficiency for as-cast device, relatively close to its annealed counterpart. The improved PCE of ternary device is mainly attributed to improved morphological properties including the more favorable materials miscibility, crystallinity, domain size and vertical phase separation. These results provide understanding and guidance for high-performance as-cast OSCs through the ternary strategy.
