abstract = {As the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar
cells (OSCs) has surpassed the $17\%$ baseline, the
long‐term stability of highly efficient OSCs is essential
for the practical application of this photovoltaic
technology. Here, the photostability and possible
degradation mechanisms of three state‐of‐the‐art
polymer donors with a commonly used nonfullerene acceptor
(NFA), IT‐4F, are investigated. The active‐layer
materials show excellent intrinsic photostability. The
initial morphology, in particular the mixed region, causes
degradation predominantly in the fill factor (FF) under
illumination. Electron traps are formed due to the
reorganization of polymers and diffusion‐limited
aggregation of NFAs to assemble small isolated acceptor
domains under illumination. These electron traps lead to
losses mainly in FF, which is in contradistinction to the
degradation mechanisms observed for fullerene‐based OSCs.
Control of the composition of NFAs close to the
thermodynamic equilibrium limit while keeping adequate
electron percolation and improving the initial polymer and
NFA ordering are of the essence to stabilize the FF in
NFA‐based solar cells, which may be the key tactics to
develop next‐generation OSCs with high efficiency as well
as excellent stability.},
