Blended junctions are indispensable for organic solar cells; however, the fabrication of electron and hole transport routes in blended cells remains quite challenging. Herein, a lateral alternating multilayered junction using a high-mobility organic semiconductor is proposed and demonstrated. A total of 93% of the photogenerated electrons and holes are laterally collected over a long distance (0.14 mm). The exciton-collection efficiency reaches 75% in a lateral alternating multilayered junction with a layer thickness of 10 nm. A lateral organic alternating multilayered junction that completely collects both excitons and carriers can be an alternative blended junction for organic solar cells.
