Summary: The study demonstrates an effective graded bulk-heterojunction (G-BHJ) strategy using nonhalogenated solvent sequential deposition for nonfullerene acceptor (NFA) organic solar cells, achieving outstanding power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.48%. Advanced techniques such as depth-profiling X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (DP-XPS) and angle-dependent grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GI-XRD) enable visualization of morphology and crystallinity gradient distributions, leading to high PCEs of thick OSCs. The use of nonhalogenated solvent in G-BHJ OSC via open-air blade coating achieves a record 16.77% PCE by suppressing unfavorable phase separation in bulk-heterojunction. Overall, the G-BHJ strategy shows great promise for highly efficient, eco-friendly, and scalable organic solar cells.
