Bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) structures that comprise donor and acceptor blended physically in photoactive layers are proved very promising for applications in organic solar cells, of which a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 15% has already been achieved in single-junction devices. However, their nanophase separation is susceptible to heat and light and hence lower the stability of solar cells during long-term service. To this end, single-component organic solar cells (SCOSCs) are developed as potential alternatives with better photovoltaic stability. Double-cable conjugated polymers, which consist of electron-rich conjugated backbone and electron-deficient conjugated side chains, can be applied into SCOSCs by forming BHJ structures in a single conjugated polymer. Relevant research on double-cable conjugated polymers and SCOSCs has rarely been reported in the past years and their PCEs lagged far behind those of the BHJ solar cells. Herein, we first provide a general review on the research progress of SCOSCs and then center the discussion on some recent findings in our group about double-cable conjugated polymers, including the development of new synthetic methods, the design ideas for novel double-cable polymers composed of varied conjugated backbones with conjugated side chains and linkers, the tuning approaches toward nanophase separation in double-cable polymers, and the ultimate applications in SCOSCs. Given the existing studies, we believe that SCOSCs based on double-cable polymers will receive more attention and advance further with higher PCEs in the near future.
