Strong electron-phonon coupling can hinder exciton transport and induce undesirable non-radiative recombination, resulting in a shortened exciton diffusion distance and constrained exciton dissociation in organic solar cells (OSCs). Therefore, suppressing electron-phonon coupling is crucially important for achieveing high-performance OSCs. Here, we employ the solid additive to regulating electron-phonon coupling in OSCs. The planar configuration of SA1 confers a significant advantage in suppressing lattice vibrations in the active layers, reducing the scattering of excitons by phonons. Consequently, a slow but sustained hole transfer process is identified in the SA1-assisted film, indicating an enhancement in hole transfer efficiency. Prolonged exciton diffusion length and exciton lifetime are achieved in the blend film processed with SA1, attributed to a low non-radiative recombination rate and low energetic disorder for charge carrier transport. As a result, a high efficiency of 20 % was achieved for ternary device with a remarkable short-circuit current. This work highlights the important role of suppressing electron-phonon coupling in improving the photovoltaic performance of OSCs.
