Surpassing the 10% efficiency milestone for 1-cm2 all-polymer solar cells

Thick film is preferred for sufficient light absorption and tolerant processing but it easily spoils the charge transport in the all-polymer solar cells. Here Fan et al. reconcile by tuning the film morphology and deliver high efficiency of 10% in 1 cm2 area devices.
