AbstractPolymer solar cells have received considerable attention due to the advantages of low material cost, tunable band gaps, ultralight weight, and high flexible properties, and they have been a promising organic photovoltaic technology for alternative non‐renewable fossil fuels for the past decade. Inspired by these merits, numerous state‐of‐the‐art organic photovoltaic materials have been constructed. Among them, indaceno‐based polymer materials have made an impact in obtaining an impressive power conversion efficiency of more than 11%, which shows the momentous potential of this class of materials for commercial applications. In this review, recent progress of indaceno‐based organic polymer solar cells are reviewed, and the structure–property device performance correlations of the reported materials are highlighted. Then, common regularities of these successful cases are collected, and encouraging viewpoints on the further development of more exciting indaceno‐based organic photovoltaic materials are provided.
