In the last decades, organic electronics have been in the focus of research due to their advantageous properties, such as versatility, flexibility, low-cost manufacturing processes, like roll-to-roll printing or spray casting, and the tunable characteristics. These properties open up a wide range of applications and represent a promising alternative for the conventional inorganic photovoltaics. Even though the power conversion efficiency is lower than the ones of conventional devices, values of over 11% have been reported. Thereby, systems using low-band gap polymers and non-fullerene small molecules have received increasing attention. We study the inner morphology of such a bulk heterojunction blend, namely PBDB-T and ITIC of different compositions with grazing-incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS). The obtained structural information are correlated with current density-voltage characteristics and the absorbance of the active layer in order to improve the efficiency.
