The balance between phase separation and crystallization arising from the aggregations of organic semiconductor molecules defines the film morphology, resulting in multi-length scale phase transitions that enhance device performance. We investigate the morphological evolution driven by molecular self-assembly during the ultrasonic spray-coating of organic functional layers in organic solar cells. An in-depth understanding of phase transition phenomena through an analysis of both temporal (film formation kinetics) and thermal scales (annealing), with the elucidation of the intricate structure-performance nexus linked to morphological evolution and device efficiency, is achieved. We clarify the principles of effective morphological optimization to achieve high-efficiency sprayed organic solar cells, providing valuable guidance for their commercial application.
