Electronic Supplementary Information Abstract Reducing the voltage loss (Vloss) is a critical factor in optimizing the open-circuit voltage (Voc) and overall power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of polymer solar cells. In the current work, by designing a novel electron-accepting unit of coronenediimide (CDI) and using it as the main functional building block, a new polymer acceptor CDI-V is developed and applied to fabricate all-polymer solar cells. Compared with the perylenediimide-based polymer acceptors we previously reported, the current CDI-V polymer possesses a noticeably elevated lowest unoccupied molecular orbital (LUMO). Thereby, by virtue of the enlarged energy gap between the donor HOMO and acceptor LUMO, a high Voc value of 1.05 V is achieved by the all-polymer photovolatic device, along with an impressively low Vloss of 0.55 V. As remarkably, in spite of an extremely small LUMO level offset of 0.01 eV exhibited by the donor and acceptor polymers, effective charge separation still takes place in the allpolymer device, as evidenced by a proper short-circuit current (Jsc) of 9.5 mA·cm−2 and a decent PCE of 4.63%.

INTRODUCTION Compared with solar cells based on polymer donor allied with fullerene or non-fullerene small-molecule acceptors (SMAs), bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) all-polymer solar cells (all-PSCs) featuring an active layer of a p-type polymer donor blended with n-type polymer acceptor boast the potential advantages of superior morphological stability, mechanical robustness, and better compatibility with large-area printing techniques.[1−6] Although the best power-conversion efficiency (PCE) of all-PSCs has so far lagged behind the SMA-based devices,[7−11] very rapid advancement has been witnessed in this area for the past few years.[12−16] Our group has been focusing on harnessing polycyclic aromatic dicarboximides, particularly perylenediimide (PDI) derivatives, as the main
