A novel non-conjugated small-molecule electrolyte was invented as a cathode interlayer in PTB7:PC71BMbased polymer solar cells (PSCs). We discovered a significant synergy effect for improving the device efficiency between methanol treatment and the interlayer. The methanol treatment mainly contributed to the open-circuit voltage, while the interlayer primarily enhanced the short-circuit current and fill factor. Under the effective synergy effect, power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of PTB7:PC71BM-based PSCs were largely improved from 3.89% to 9.79% for conventional PSCs and from 7.34% to 9.10% for inverted PSCs. Our findings create a new path of interfacial modification for highly efficient PSCs.
