Here we demonstrate efficient all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) based on a polymer acceptor named PFBDT-IDTIC. By combining PFBDT-IDTIC with a fluorinated donor polymer (PM6), a high power conversion efficiency of 10.3% can be achieved, which is the highest value reported to date for single-junction all-PSCs. This performance can be attributed to its good absorption property (absorption coefficient: 2.74 × 105 cm–1) and high electron mobility of PFBDT-IDTIC. It is also found that the choice of donor polymer has major impacts on the performance of the cell. By replacing PBDB-T with its fluorinated counterpart, PM6, the VOC, JSC, and FF of the devices were all improved, which can be attributed to the deeper HOMO level of PM6 and more crystalline and pure domains of the active layer blends. Our study provides a promising polymer acceptor for all-PSCs and also shows that selecting a matching donor polymer is important in achieving the optimal all-PSC performance.
