Abstract
Organic solar cells (OSCs) have attracted wide attention due to their economy, environmental protection, and potential for large‐scale commercial production. The layer‐by‐layer (LbL) solution processing method, where donor solution and acceptor solution are coated sequentially, is a simple and effective way to fabricate OSCs, achieving a high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of up to 17%. Compared with bulk‐heterojunction (BHJ) OSCs, LbL solution‐processed OSCs separately adjust different layers, making the components distribute ideally in the vertical direction that is beneficial for exciton dissociation, charge transport, and charge collection. Moreover, the LbL approach has better potential in the preparation of large‐area devices, which is a key link in the commercialization of OSCs. Herein, the basic principles and the latest research progress of LbL solution‐processed OSCs are summarized, and the existing challenges and prospects of the LbL solution processing method in industrial production are discussed.
