Recent developments in acceptor-donor-acceptor (A-D-A) type non-fullerene acceptors have led to substantial improvements in bulk-heterojunction polymer solar cells efficiency.The device performance strongly depends on photoactive layer morphology,as the molecular packing,donor-acceptor interface and phase separation significantly affect the charge-transfer states and charge carrier dynamics.In this review,we start with a brief introduction of the techniques most effectively utilized to characterize multiphase morphology.Then,we summarize recent progress in A-D-A type acceptors,with the emphasis on understanding the molecular structure-morphology-performance relationships.Finally,an outlook on correlating morphological characteristics with photovoltage losses is presented for further improving device performance.
