The emergence of nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) has triggered a rapid advance in the performance of organic solar cells (OSCs), endowing OSCs to arise as a promising contender for 3rd generation photovoltaic technologies. Meanwhile, the ultimate goal of OSCs is to deliver affordable, stable, and efficient solar-to-power products contributing to global carbon neutrality. However, simultaneously balancing these critical factors of OSCs toward commercialization is extremely challenging. In this presentation, I will first introduce the self-assembly strategy we developed to bridge the gap between high power conversion efficiency (PCE), long-term stability, green-solvent processability, scalability, and low-cost manufacturing. Our approach demonstrates green-solvent-processable and open-air-printable OSCs with a simplified device architecture, achieving enhanced PCE alongside improved shelf life, thermal stability, and light illumination durability. Subsequently, I will present our recent findings on elucidating material combinations for maximum industrial viability in OSCs. Building on this research, I will discuss the development of high-commercial-viability OSCs tailored for large-scale production and practical applications. Finally, I will summarize our efforts and key insights into advancing the commercial viability of OSCs, paving the way for the realization of affordable, stable, and efficient OSC technologies.
