In order to boost power conversion efficiency (PCE) and operation stability of organic solar cells (OSCs), we propose a new idea of phase junction materials (PJMs) used as a photoactive layer component to improve device performance and stability. For this purpose, a novel PJM of H-TRC8 based on rhodanine unit was designed with a conjugated A_H-D-A framework. Here, A_H is a hydrogen-donating electron acceptor unit, D-A is an electron donor-acceptor unit. It is found that H-TRC8 has a good carriertransporting ability, as well as definite hydrogen-bond and D-A interaction with donor/acceptor materials. While H-TRC8 is added into the PBDB-T/PC₆₀BM blend film with 1.0 vol% DIO (1, 8-diiodooctane), the resulting blend film exhibited an enhanced absorption and improved morphology. The intermolecular hydrogen bond between H-TRC8 and PBDB-T plays an important role for them, which is confirmed via FT-IR spectra and 2D ¹H NMR. As a result, the PBDB-T/PC₆₀BM-based devices with 1.25 wt% H-TRC8 and 1.0 vol% DIO exhibit a significantly improved PCE of 8.06%, which is increased by 20.6% in comparison to that in the binary devices with 1.0 vol% DIO only (PCE = 6.68%). Furthermore, the device stability is significantly enhanced with only 43% PCE roll-off at 150 ℃ for 120 h. This work indicates that A_H-D-A-type PJMs are promising photovoltaic materials used as photoactive-layer components to achieve high-performance fullerene OSCs with high device stability.
