“…Organic photovoltaics (OPV) has been a very promising candidate for energy generation in the last two decades, giving access to lightweight, semitransparent and flexible devices with a low energy pay-back time. 1–3 Finally, solar cell processing can be achieved at a large scale using printing and roll-to-roll techniques, making this technology compatible with industrial production. 4 The field has seen a renewed interest over the last 5 years due to impressive enhancements in power conversion efficiency and a stability expected to be over 15 years, 5 which can be attributed to the design of new acceptor materials (non-fullerene acceptors, NFA) improving absorption ranges and nanomorphology control.…”

“…[16] In addition, organic semiconductors have an attractive feature of selectively light absorption (Figure 1a), offering an opportunity to realize semitransparent OPVs (STOPVs, Figure 1b). [17,18] STOPVs with absorption mainly in near-infrared (NIR) region can combine the functions of light-to-electricity conversion of NIR light and transparency in visible region, and show promising potential in applications areas required the transparency merit and electricity power such as buildingintegrated photovoltaics, agrivoltaics, automobiles and wearable electronics. [19,20] The recent advances of STOPVs focus on new materials and device engineering, in order to balance the trade-off between PCE and average visible transmittance (AVT) of STOPVs.…”

P‐type polymers are polymeric semiconducting materials that conduct holes and have extensive applications in optoelectronics such as organic photovoltaics. Taking the advantage of intrinsic discontinuous light absorption of organic semiconductors, semitransparent organic photovoltaics (STOPVs) present compelling opportunities in various potential applications such as building‐integrated photovoltaics, agrivoltaics, automobiles, and wearable electronics. The characteristics of p‐type polymers, including optical, electronic, and morphological properties, determine the performance of STOPVs, and the requirements for p‐type polymers differ between opaque organic photovoltaics and STOPVs. Hence, in this Minireview, recent advances of p‐type polymers used in STOPVs are systematically summarized, with emphasis on the effects of chemical structures, conformation structures, and aggregation structures of p‐type polymers on the performance of STOPVs. Furthermore, new design concepts and guidelines are also proposed for p‐type polymers to facilitate the future development of high‐performance STOPVs.

“…With the continuous development of the world economy, the traditional fossil fuels can no longer meet the industry's demand for energy. At the same time, with the enhanced awareness of environmental protection, it is of great urgency to develop clean and renewable energy to replace traditional fossil fuels 1,2 . Solar energy is a kind of clean and renewable energy that is widely distributed and inexhaustible, which can meet the requirements of environmental protection 3–6 .…”

In recent years, with the continuous development of photoactive layer material, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) binary organic solar cells (BOSCs) has been significantly improved. However, it is difficult for BOSCs to maximize the effective utilization of the wide spectrum of solar energy, limiting the further improvement of PCE. Adding a third component to BOSCs that constructing ternary organic solar cells (TOSCs) is an effective method to broaden the absorption spectrum of BOSC, match the gradient energy level, and regulate the morphology of the active layer. Constructing TOSCs can not only effectively improve the device performance, but also maintain the advantages of easy‐to‐fabricate single‐junction device structures. In this review, we first introduced the basic working mechanism of TOSCs. Then based on the working mechanism, we comprehensively reviewed the latest research results of TOSCs, and analyzed the effects of the third component on the microscopic morphology of the active layer, photovoltaic performance and device stability. Finally, we systematically summarized the role of the third component in TOSCs and proposed some future development trends of TOSCs, such as designing and synthesizing more economical, green, and environmentally friendly TOSCs that towards the commercial application in the future.
