Despite the recent advances in the power conversion efficiency of organic solar cells, an insight into the processing-driven thermo-mechanical stability of bulk heterojunction active layers is still warranted. Correlating the elasto-morphology with device performance requires a deeper understanding of the molecular-level physics, as presented in this research on the interplay between processing, thermodynamics and mechanical stability of typical photoactive layers in organic solar cells.
