Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and atomic force microscopy (AFM) measurements indicate that 1,2,3,4-bis(p-methylbenzylidene) sorbitol (MDBS) is a nucleating agent for both poly(3-alkylthiophene)s (P3ATs) and [6,6]-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM), but the intermolecular interaction between P3AT and MDBS is stronger than that between PCBM and MDBS. MDBS regulates the crystallization kinetics of P3AT in P3AT/PCBM blend films, resulting in the acceleration of the crystallization rate, and the decrease of the crystallinity and crystallite size of P3AT. This directly causes the decrease of the open circuit voltage (VOC) and the increase of both the fill factor (FF) and the short circuit current (JSC) with the addition of MDBS. Based on the variation of VOC, FF, and JSC, the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of P3AT/PCBM BHJ OPV devices improves with the addition of MDBS. Our work verifies that this is a new way to modulate and improve the performance parameters of BHJ OPV devices, i.e., by adding a nucleating agent that modulates the crystallization kinetics of crystalline donor materials.
