The development of small-molecule-based polymer acceptors is a promising strategy to take advantage of the efficient light absorption of small molecules and the superior flexibility of polymers. In this work, a new polymer acceptor, namely PTPB-TT, has been designed by the polymerization of the state-of-the-art Y6 small molecule acceptor. By combining the complimentary properties of PC61BM and the polymers, broad absorption, cascaded energy level alignment, suppression of monomolecular recombination, effective exciton dissociation and balanced mobility could be achieved. As a result, by incorporating 5 wt.% of PC61BM into the PBDB-T:PTPB-TT all-polymer blend, the short-circuit current density (Jsc) and fill factor (FF) of the PSCs could be enhanced, leading to an improvement of the PCE from 7.24% to 8.03%. This study suggests that PC61BM can be utilized as an additive photosensitizer to further boost the performance of all-PSCs.
