The morphology and crystallinity of bulk heterojunction (BHJ) films have profound effects on the performance of organic photovoltaics. Currently, most morphological studies on BHJ films are based on spin-coating as deposition technique. However, to commercialize organic photovoltaic products, large-scale fabrication processes such as printing must be taken into consideration. In the present study, the effects of solvent additives on the morphology formation and polymer crystallinity growth of printed BHJ films are investigated by in-situ grazing incidence small/wide-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS/GIWAXS). The results show that the solvent additives with different boiling points lead to different film drying behaviors, and the phase demixing is changing in the forming BHJ film along with solvent evaporation. These findings provide valuable insights into the film morphology and crystallinity developments of printed BHJ films, which determines the future design of BHJ film printing for large-scale fabrication.
