文摘In nonfullerene acceptor-(NFA-)based solar cells,the exciton splitting takes place at both domain interface and donor/acceptor mixture,which brings in the state of mixing phase into focus.The energetics and morphology are key parameters dictating the charge generation,diffusion,and recombination.It is revealed that tailoringthe electronic properties of the mixing region by doping with larger-bandgap components could reduce the density of state but elevate the filling state level,leading to improved open-circuit voltage(V_(OC))and reduced recombination.The monomolecular and bimolecular recombinations are shown to be intercorrelated,which show a Gaussian-like relationship with V_(OC) and linear relationship with short-circuit current density(JSC)and fill factor(FF).The kinetics of hole transfer and exciton diffusion scale with JSC similarly,indicating the carrier generation in mixing region and crystalline domain are equally important.From the morphology perspective,the crystalline order could contribute to V_(OC) improvement,and the fibrillar structure strongly affects the FF.These observations highlight the importance of the mixing region and its connection with crystalline domains and point out the design rules to optimize the mixing phase structure,which is an effective approach to further improve device performance.
