Abstract Organic solar cells (OSCs) are one of the most promising technologies for renewable energy with their power conversion efficiency (PCE) increasing rapidly. However, most of the high-performance OSCs are fabricated with the assistance of high-boiling-point solvent additives to optimize their charge transport properties; this has adverse effects on the OSCs’ stability and reproducibility in large-scale production. Here, we present various nonvolatile polymeric additives’ effects on blend morphology and performance of OSCs to provide a rich understanding of their underlying mechanisms.
