Energy levels of the first monolayer are manipulated at donor/acceptor interfaces in planar heterojunction organic photovoltaics by using molecular self‐organization. A “cascade” energy landscape allows thermal‐activation‐free charge generation by photoirradiation, destabilizes the energy of the interfacial charge‐transfer state, and suppresses bimolecular charge recombination, resulting in a higher open‐circuit voltage and fill factor.
