PHPIT, a new kind of intramolecular donor–acceptor side‐chain‐tethered hexylphenanthrenyl‐imidazole polythiophene is synthesized. The more‐balanced electron and hole mobilities and the enhanced visible‐ and internal‐light absorptions in the devices consisting of annealed PHPIT/PCBM blends both contribute to a much higher short‐circuit current density, which in turn led to a power conversion efficiency as high as 4.1%.
