Abstract

Quaternary organic solar cells (q-OSCs) achieve a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 17.73%, which is by far the highest reported PCE to date for q-OSCs. The quaternary devices significantly outperform the corresponding binary and ternary devices with various material combinations displaying the enormous potential of the quaternary blend system through rational design. We demonstrated a new type of “rivers and streams” hierarchical morphology that allows for the achievement of highly efficient quaternary devices that were considered extremely challenging in the past.
