摘要

Simultaneously realizing high power conversion efficiency (PCE), batch reproducibility, and device stability remain challenging in the structural design of donor materials for organic solar cells. Herein, we report a giant molecule donor (GMD) Dimer-C6, constructed by hexyl-bridged dimerization of two small-molecule donor (SMD) units, MPhS-C6. Benefiting from its enlarged molecular size and the structure combining rigidity and flexibility, Dimer-C6 exhibits enhanced thermal-driven assembly behavior and improved thermal stability. After the one-step thermal annealing (TA) treatment, Dimer-C6:Y6 device achieves a PCE of 13.22%, outperforming MPhS-C6:Y6 (12.64%), while maintaining 90% of the initial PCE after continuous heating at 80°C for 168h, demonstrating excellent thermal stability. This enhanced performance originates from a unique “pre-aggregation to adaptive packing” mechanism during solution-to-film transformation of the alkyl-tethered-dimer architecture, which is associated with the synergistic optimization of assembly adaptability and morphological stability. Moreover, an optimized two-step TA strategy further elevates the PCE to 13.78%. This work highlights the advantages of dimerized SMD design and provides a rational strategy for developing donors with improved efficiency, reproducibility, and stability.
