Quinoxaline‐containing poly(4,5‐ethylene‐2,7‐carbazole) (PECz‐DTQx ) shows a high efficiency of 6.07% in solar cells with a PFN/Al bilayer cathode. This is higher than the efficiency achieved with sole Al (3.99%) or with Ca/Al (4.52%) cathodes. A bilayer cathode could be valuable in device configurations to achieve high efficiency in combination with a high‐performance polymer donor.
