14 DOI: 1.138/NENERGY Supplementary Methods Duel beam dynamic SIMS. Duel beam dynamic SIMS was employed to provide high depth resolution and chemical resolution simultaneously, where Bi+ is employed as primary ion and Cs+ is used to do sputtering. F-, C7- and CN- were chosen as representatives for PTB7, PC 7 BM and Si-PCPDTBT respectively due to they are unique to each component. The ion counts as a function of sputtering time are ploted in figure S9 (a) and (b). Note that the sputtering time is normalized by the total sputtering time, which is set identical to both blends. At the top (t/tmax=), F- (PTB7) and CN-(Si-PCPDTBT) rich layers are formed, competing with C7-(PC 7 BM). In the middle region (.1<t/tmax<.), CN-(Si-PCPDTBT) is weaker than F- (PTB7) in 1% Si-PCPDTBT, while CN-(Si-PCPDTBT) is stronger than F- (PTB7) in 2% Si-PCPDTBT. At the bottom (t/tmax=.8). CN- (Si-PCPDTBT) shows a peak and F- (PTB7) shows a dip, while PC 7 BM remains constant in both samples. Due to the fact that different secondary ions are not sensitive to the primary ion with the same degree of sensitivity, the ion yield from figure S1 (a) and (b) does not provide direct information about component amount. In order to quantify the amount of each component, the total ion yield across the whole thickness is normalized by the nominal component ratio in each blend. Figure S1 (c) and (d) demonstrate the integrated ion yield along with sputtering time. Thereafter, the normalized mass plot against sputtering time is obtained and shown in Figure in the main text. 1 NATURE ENERGY
