Trap‐assisted recombination is one of the main loss mechanisms in bulk‐heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells. Results suggest that introducing a near infrared (NIR) polymer into the 2,3‐bis(3‐(octyloxy)phenyl)quinoxaline (PIDTTQ):[6,6]‐phenyl C 70 butyric acid methyl ester (PC 70 BM) host system suppresses trap‐assisted recombination in the binary blend, leading to a significant improvement of ≈60% in power conversion efficiency for ternary organic solar cells at low light intensity.
