Blade-coating, a prototype tool for slot-die coating is a promising technique showing high compatibility with large-area roll-to-roll coating. Here, a high-performance PM6:Y6-based device is fabricated with chlorobenzene (CB) through a novel binary solvent additive (1-chloronaphthalene (CN):diphenyl ether (DPE)). It can be found that the binary solvent additive can improve the crystallinity of the acceptor and forms a better phase separation domain, which would promote the effective separation of charge and inhibit charge recombination. As a result, high power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15.77% can be achieved with the spin-coating method, which is similar to the best organic solar cells (OSCs) processed with chloroform (CF) solution. Moreover, a blade-coated OSC is also processed with CB and demonstrates a promising PCE of 11.69% with large-area device (1.2 cm 2 ). These results are critical for the large-scale production of highly efficient OSCs.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
