“…Recently, it has also demonstrated that, through rational molecular design, the SPS-based CILs can act as electron acceptors, contributing to the additional photocurrents for OSCs. [64,65] In addition to photo-electric conversion efficiency, several SPS-based CILs are endowed with good resistance to moisture ingress and ultraviolet (UV)-light damage, which greatly improve the long-term stability of OSCs under operational conditions. [66,67] Overall, the diversity in material design and chemical modification endows SPS materials with great opportunities to optimize their performances, making the SPSs promising candidates in developing efficient CIL materials.…”

Cathode interlayers (CILs) play a crucial role in improving the photovoltaic efficiency and stability of OSCs. CILs generally consists of two kinds of materials, interfacial dipole‐based CILs and SPS‐based CILs. With good charge transporting ability, excellent compatibility with large‐area processing methods, and highly tunable optoelectronic properties, the SPS‐based CILs exhibit remarkable superiorities to their interfacial dipole‐based counterparts in practical use, making them promising candidate in developing efficient CILs for OSCs. This mini‐review highlights the great potential of SPS‐based CILs in OSC applications and elucidates the working mechanism and material design strategy of SPS materials. Afterward, the SPS‐based CIL materials are summarized and discussed in four sections, including organic small molecules, conjugated polymers, nonconjugated polymers, and TMOs. The structure‐property‐performance relationship of SPS‐based CIL materials is revealed, which may provide readers new insight into the molecular design of SPS‐based CILs. The mechanisms to endow SPS‐based CILs with thickness insensitivity, resistance to environmental erosion, and photo‐electric conversion ability are also elucidated. Finally, after a brief summary, the remaining issues and the prospects of SPS‐based CILs are suggested.

We synthesized novel polyelectrolytes based on naphthalene diimide with quaternary amine featuring hydroxyl groups at the side chain, along with different counteranions (PF-NDIN-Br-OH and PF-NDIN-I-OH) for polymer solar cell (PSC) application as the interlayer. The polyelectrolytes establish a beneficial interface dipole through the ionic moieties and synergistic effects arising from the hydroxyl groups located at the side chain. Incorporating polyelectrolytes as the cathode interlayer resulted in an enhancement of the power conversion efficiency (PCE). The PCE of the device with PF-NDIN-Br-OH increased from 8.96% to 9.51% compared to the ZnO-only device. The best PCE was obtained with the device based on PF-NDIN-I-OH, up to 9.59% resulting from the Jsc enhancement. This outcome implies a correlation between the performance of the device and the synergistic effects observed in polyelectrolytes containing hydroxyl groups in the side chain, along with larger anions when employed in PSCs.

Significant advancements in power conversion efficiency have been achieved in organic solar cells with small molecule acceptors. However, stability remains a primary challenge, impeding their widespread adoption in renewable energy applications. This review summarizes the degradation of different layers within the device structure in organic solar cells under varying conditions, including light, heat, moisture, and oxygen. For the photoactive layers, the chemical degradation pathways of polymer donors and small molecule acceptors are examined in detail, alongside the morphological stability of the bulk heterojunction structure, which plays a crucial role in device performance. The degradation mechanisms of commonly used anode and cathode interlayers and electrodes are addressed, as these layers significantly influence overall device efficiency and stability. Mitigation methods for the identified degradation mechanisms are provided in each section to offer practical insights for improving device longevity. Finally, an outlook presents the remaining challenges in achieving long‐term stability, emphasizing research directions that require further investigation to enhance the reliability and performance of organic solar cells in real‐world applications.
