The large energy loss (Eₗₒₛₛ) in organic solar cells (OSCs) relative to those of silicon or inorganic/organic hybrid perovskite solar cells is one of the major factors limiting the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OSCs. Recently, OSCs based on nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) have achieved high PCEs at decreased Eₗₒₛₛ values. Therefore, the present study investigates the relationship between Eₗₒₛₛ and the device performance of NFA-based OSCs. Here, we select two polymer donors (PBDB-T and its fluorinated derivative PBDB-TF) and blend each polymer donor with each of three NFAs (indaceno[1,2-b:5,6-b′]dithiophene and 2-(3-oxo-2,3-dihydroinden-1-ylidene)malononitrile (IEIC) and its respective fluorinated and chlorinated derivatives IE-4F and IE-4Cl), which provide varied energy-level alignments. The six blends exhibit similar morphologies and charge transport properties but varied Eₗₒₛₛ values in OSCs. The results indicate that the charge generation and PCE of the OSCs increase with the increasing Eₗₒₛₛ. Accordingly, the PBDB-T:IE-4Cl-based device yields the highest PCE of 11.1% with an Eₗₒₛₛ of 0.64 eV, while the PBDB-TF:IEIC-based device provides a significantly decreased PCE of 3.8% with a diminished Eₗₒₛₛ of 0.52 eV. These results demonstrate the great importance of finely tuning the energy-level alignments of these types of donor/acceptor systems to achieve the best device performance.
