The long‐term reliability of organic photovoltaic (OPV) devices is one of the urgent tasks to be solved for commercialization. In article number 1601289, Hyoung Jin Son, Sung Hyun Kim, and Dong Hwan Kim report the impact of the hole transport layer (HTL) and the back electrode on the stability of OPV devices. In particular, unknown solvents diffusing from the back electrode to the underlying layers and the photostability of PEDOT:PSS as a HTL are pointed out to be very important factors determining the lifetime of OPV.
