“…12–14 Depending on the degraded microstructure, singlet excitons in nanoscale spatial region might control light emission and undergo a large number of non-radiative processes, such as diffusion, annihilation, localization into trap states, and dissociation into charge carriers. Quite recently, some feasible strategies such as constructing a multiple-component photoactive layer based on one-pot polymerization, 15 combining NFAs with a similar structure yet different morphological features, 16 designing oligomer molecules and polymer acceptors, 17–19 and employing solid additives 20,21 have been proposed to overcome this conundrum related to the metastable morphology. The recent progress made in revealing the degradation mechanism and improving the device lifetime of the state-of-the-art OSCs under various aging conditions is summarized in Table S1 (ESI†).…”
