Light‐soaking‐free inverted polymer solar cell (i‐PSC) devices are demonstrated by incorporating nitrogen doped sol–gel titanium sub‐oxide (N‐TiO x ). A heavily doped electron transport layer in i‐PSCs, N‐TiO x on indium tin oxide, yields an Ohmic contact with the bulk heterojunction layer that does not exhibit light‐soaking processes. This results in highly efficient i‐PSCs with power conversion efficiencies of 8.8%.
