Bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic solar cells have gained significant improvements in the past few years, however, traditional laboratory deposition methods like spin coating are limited to small-scale production. In addition, it is difficult to observe the structure formation process of the active layer during deposition, which is crucial for gaining a fundamental understanding. Encouragingly, the emergence of printing techniques and the development of in-situ observation technology open new windows for lager-area device manufacturing and inspection of the formation process of the printed active layer, respectively. In this work, we fabricate an active layer, which contains a donor polymer (PDTBT2T-FTBDT) and a non-fullerene acceptor (BTP-4F) with a slot-die coating. The structure formation of the polymer domains kinetics is followed in-situ during the printing process with GIWAXS and UV-Vis spectroscopy measurements, respectively. Thus, structure evolution is coupled with optical properties during the printing process, thereby providing an understanding of the drying of non-fullerene organic BHJ thin films.
