• Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have been pursued as a next generation power source due to their light weight, thin, flexible, and simple fabrication advantages. Improvements in OPV efficiency have attracted great attention in the past decade. Because the functional layers in OPVs can be dissolved in common solvents, they can be manufactured by eco‐friendly and scalable printing or coating technologies. In this review article, the focus is on recent efforts to control nanomorphologies of photoactive layer and discussion of various solution‐processed charge transport and extraction materials, to maximize the performance of OPV cells. Next, recent works on printing and coating technologies for OPVs to realize solution processing are reviewed. The review concludes with a discussion of recent advances in the development of non‐traditional lamination and transfer method towards highly efficient and fully solution‐processed OPV. Approaches to improve the performances of organic photovoltaics (OPVs) and effective manufacturing processes to realize solution‐processable OPVs are discussed. Nanomorphologies of photoactive layers and and solution‐processed charge transport and extraction materials are studied, and recent works on printing and coating technologies for solution processes are reviewed. Recent advances in non‐traditional lamination and transfer methods towards highly efficient and fully solution processable OPV are also addressed.
