Meanwhile, chlorine substitution lowered the HOMO level of PBTCl, which increased the open-circuit voltage of the corresponding polymer-based devices. The 2D GIWAXS analysis illustrated that the PBTCl/ITIC blend film exhibited a “face-on” orientation and scattering features of both PBTCl and ITIC, suggesting that the blend of PBTCl and ITIC was phase separated and formed individual crystalline domains of the donor and acceptor, which promoted charge transfer in the bi-continuous film and eventually elevated the solar energy conversion efficiency. The PBTCl-based non-fullerene PSC exhibited a maximum PCE of 7.57\% with a Voc of 0.91 V, which was an approximately 13\% increasing in the PCE compared to the fluorine-analog-based device.
