An in-situ solvent annealing method of solvent annealing during spin-coating (SC-SVA) was deployed to increase the electron mobility by improving the crystallinity of non-fullerene acceptor without significant enlarging the domain size. Although similar effect can be achieved by the post solvent annealing and co-solvents methods, these methods meanwhile enlarge the phase separation in the PTB7-Th: ITIC based organic solar cells. Thus, the efficiency of SC-SVA based device results in a 20% enhancement and exhibits a better photovoltaic performance than that of the post solvent annealing and co-solvents methods. The fundamental mechanism of these three methods were analyzed and discussed in detail. As the enhanced crystallinity of non-fullerene acceptor could improve charge carrier mobility, the thick-film devices with SC-SVA were fabricated and exhibit great photovoltaic performance. Moreover, this beneficial SC-SVA method was successfully employed in the other IDT-based PTB7-Th:ITIC-Th and PTB7-Th:IEIC devices as well as in the PTZ1:IDIC binary and PTZ1: IDIC:ITIC ternary devices. The high efficiencies of 10.11% and 10.30% were achieved for the binary and ternary devices with SC-SVA, respectively, showing its excellent universality and prospect.
