Abstract
Developing efficient all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) has always been a long-standing challenge due to the unfavorable morphology caused by conventional blend casting (BC). Here, we first employ the methodology of sequential processing (SP) with nonorthogonal solvents to fabricate facilely all-PSCs. A highly crystalline polymer donor, PBDB-T, is used to construct a well-organized underlying film, while a new polymer, FPDI-BT1, is selected as the acceptor to be intercalated into the amorphous or semicrystalline regions of PBDB-T during the secondary deposition. By tuning the solvent composition for FPDI-BT1 processing, a bulk heterojunction-like configuration, rather than a traditional bilayer device, is obtained facilely without the need of further processing treatment. The extremely boosted power conversion efficiency of 7.15% from the SP device is achieved, which is more than twice as efficient as the BC analogue (3.57%). The results demonstrate that SP is a promising strategy to fabricate high-performance all-PSCs with tunable configurations of active layers.
