However, controlling domain size and phase separation remains particularly challenging due to the similar chemical structure and miscibility of small-molecule donors (SMDs) and acceptors. To address this, we synthesized and incorporated a new SMD (SD86) into a host system (MPhS-C2:BTP-eC9), which led to the formation of a donor alloy (MPhS-C2:SD86). This approach facilitates the optimization of blend microstructure and carrier dynamics. Consequently, we achieved a record power conversion efficiency of 18.51% (certified value: 18.40%, which is the highest value reported so far), attributed to improved charge management (FF × <em>J</em><small><sub>SC</sub></small>) and reduced energy loss in this ternary system. Additionally, the ternary system also exhibited remarkable operational stability and superior film-thickness insensitivity. The introduction of three additional all-small molecule systems based on various acceptors further confirms the universality of this donor-alloy strategy in improving efficiency, stability and processability.

This work provides a new interfacial design of active electrode materials and nano-structures for high-performance R-PCECs.</p>","PeriodicalId":72,"journal":{"name":"Energy & Environmental Science","volume":" 13","pages":" 6722-6731"},"PeriodicalIF":32.4,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144229140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
