Summary: Intermolecular hydrogen-bonding networks locked inside non-fullerene acceptor thin films enhance structural morphology and thermal stability in scalable organic solar cells. Stabilizing active layer domains prevents film aggregation under operational heat stress, yielding power conversion efficiencies over nineteen percent. This molecular locking strategy provides reproducible coating pathways for large-area flexible photovoltaic module manufacturing.
