Can someone please suggest the best fabrication spec for making P3HT ICBA61 with solvent additive 1,8-DIO?

I have tried fabricating with the same spec (that gave best PCE of 3.67% for P3HT PCBM61 with 3% DIO) for P3HT ICBA61, but witnessed poor PCE of < 2.50 %. Awaiting for your kind advice/suggestions.
