Optical and Electrical Enhancement of Organic Solar Cells.

, 2009
Organic solar cells have the potential to offer low cost, mass produced, solar energy generation, but further research is required to increase efficiency, improve lifetime, and reduce production costs before the low cost goal can be achieved.

When Poor Exciton Dissociation Limits Photocurrents in Organic Solar Cells: Why Low Offset Non‐Fullerene Acceptor Blends Can't Be Efficient

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The energetic offset between the donor and the acceptor components in organic photoactive layers is central to the tradeoff between photovoltage and photocurrent losses. This Perspective covers the most important issues surrounding this topic in non‐fullerene acceptor blends, from the difficulty of accurately determining state energies and driving ...

Interface passivation using diketopyrrolopyrrole‐oligothiophene copolymer to improve the performance of perovskite solar cells

Energy Science & Engineering
The unprecedented increase in power conversion efficiency (PCE) of low‐cost organo‐inorganic halide perovskite solar cells (OIHPSCs) toward its Shockley‐Queisser limit intriguingly has prompted researchers to investigate the disadvantages of these ...

Leaftronics: Bio‐Fractal Scaffolds From Leaf Venation for Low‐Waste Electronics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
“Leaftronics” transforms naturally evolved leaf venation into quasi‐fractal scaffolds for sustainable electronics. Polymer‐infiltrated leaf skeletons can be used to fabricate ultra‐smooth, reflow‐ and thin‐film‐compatible decomposable substrates, while making the same lignocellulose networks conducting results in flexible transparent electrodes.

Increased Photocurrent in Bulk-heterojunction Solar Cells Mediated by FeS(2) Nanocrystals

, 2014
[[abstract]]We found that the efficiency of bulk-heterojunction (BHJ) solar cells can be enhanced by incorporating a small amount of semiconductor FeS2 nanocrystals (NCs) into the poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and (6,6)-phenyl C61-butyric acid methyl ...

Zinc oxide: Conjugated polymer nanocomposite as cathode buffer layer for solution processed inverted organic solar cells

, 2015
Cathode buffer layer (CBL) is one of the key issues influencing the performance of organic solar cells. In this article, a nanocomposite of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO) together with a conjugated polymer, poly [(9,9-bis(3'-(N,N-dimethylamino)propyl)-2 ...

Rethinking Charge Transport and Recombination in Donor‐Diluted Organic Solar Cells

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Organic solar cells with 1–45% PM6 content in Y12 were studied to link structure and charge dynamics to performance. The conductivity follows a 3D percolation model without a sharp threshold. Donor dilution preserves the photogeneration yield, but limits the fill factor due to transport resistance losses.

Phase Engineering of Atomically Precise Nanoclusters (APNCs) of Gold and Beyond

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Engineering the structural phase of materials is of paramount importance for both fundamental research and practical applications. In this Review, we summarize the recent progress in controlling the phases of atomically precise nanoclusters (APNCs) of gold, silver and copper, as well as bimetallic systems. The phase‐enabled material properties of APNCs

Plasmon-enhanced organic solar cells with solution-processed three-dimensional Ag nanosheets

, 2013
The silver nanosheets (AgNSs) prepared via normal silver mirror reaction were used to improve the performance of organic solar cells. AgNSs with a size of about 100 nm in width and 10 nm in thickness formed a 3-D network on an indium tin oxide (ITO ...
