520 |a The impact of additives on the nanoscale structures of spin-cast polymer composite films, particularly in polymer solar cells, is a topic of significant interest. This study focuses on the blend film comprising poly(thieno[3,4-b]thio-phene-alt-benzodi-thio-phene) (PTB7) and [6,6]-phenyl-C71-butyric acid methyl ester (PC71BM), exploring how additives like 1,8-di-iodo-octane (DIO) influence the film structures spin-cast from chloro-benzene solution. Combined results of specular X-ray and neutron reflectivity, grazing-incidence small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS and GIWAXS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy indicate that DIO could significantly enhance the dispersion of PC71BM and reduce composition inhomogeneity in the film. Time-resolved GISAXS-GIWAXS with 100 ms resolution further captures a rapid spinodal decomposition of the mixture within 1 s in the constant-evaporation stage of spin-casting. Further combined with parallel analysis of time-resolved UV-Vis reflectance, these findings reveal that DIO mitigates the spinodal decomposition process by accelerating solvent evaporation, which, in turn, decelerates phase segregation, leading to a nucleation-driven process. These observations provide mechanistic insights into the role of additives in controlling the nanostructural evolution of spin-cast films by altering the kinetics of solvent evaporation and phase separation during the spin-coating process
