Polarizing Organic Photovoltaics

Advanced Materials, 2011
Today’s most prevalent information display technology is the liquid crystal display (LCD). Unfortunately, LCDs are energy ineffi cient, as most of the backlight energy (around 75%) is lost to the orthogonal polarizers. Here, we demonstrate a novel energy recycling concept called polarizing organic photovoltaics (ZOPVs), which can potentially boost the ...

Renewed Prospects for Organic Photovoltaics

Chemical Reviews, 2022
Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) have progressed steadily through three stages of photoactive materials development: (i) use of poly(3-hexylthiophene) and fullerene-based acceptors (FAs) for optimizing bulk heterojunctions; (ii) development of new donors to better match with FAs; (iii) development of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs).

Bimolecular Recombination in Organic Photovoltaics

Annual Review of Physical Chemistry, 2014
The recombination of electrons and holes is a major loss mechanism in photovoltaic devices that controls their performance. We review scientific literature on bimolecular recombination (BR) in bulk heterojunction organic photovoltaic devices to bring forward existing ideas on the origin and nature of BR and highlight both experimental and theoretical ...

A Molecular Tetrapod for Organic Photovoltaics

ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces, 2016
The synthesis and characterization of a molecular tetrapod, SFBTD, featuring a tetraphenylsilane center and four identical conjugated arms, which structurally resembles breakwaters in common wave-reducing shore constructions, are reported. Cyclic voltammetry reveals that SFBTD has a medium band gap of ca. 2.0 eV and a low-lying HOMO energy level at ca.
