Fine tuning of blend morphology is a key factor that limits the performance of the bulk-heterojunction organic photovoltaics (BHJ-OPVs). In the present work, the morphological control of the binary (PM6:Y7) blend is conducted through 1-chloronaphthalene (CN) solvent additive and thermal annealing (TA) treatment with respect to their influence on the photovoltaic performance. Moreover, a distinct study is accomplished on the optical and electronic properties of the treated and the pristine binary devices by external quantum efficiency measurements and impedance spectroscopy. We found that the champion performance of the binary devices was exhibited through the dual effect of 2% CN solvent additive along with the TA treatments.
