Several challenges in organic photovoltaics have yet to be overcome including high power conversion efficiency, good processability, low cost, and excellent long‐term stability. In article number 1700465 , Jie Min and co‐workers introduce a new merit factor (i‐FOM) for material applied accessibility containing three parameters: synthetic complexity, device efficiency, and photostability. i‐FOM approach can provide valuable insights for those attempting to realize the efficient evaluation of photovoltaic materials.
