Nanostructured polymer solar cells
2008 IEEE International Reliability Physics Symposium, 2008Polymer solar cells generally contain a low bandgap p-type conjugated polymer as photosensitizer and an inorganic or organic n-type semiconductor as electron acceptor. We investigated two nanostructured composites of the complementary semiconductors: nanometer-scale blends and interpenetrating nanorod arrays.

Translucent Polymer Solar Cells
ECS Transactions, 2009The recent developments on the construction of translucent cathodes for the application of tandem or multi-junction organic solar cells are reviewed in this report. The translucent cathode plays a major role in determining the efficiency of translucent solar cells by controlling the intensity of incident light absorption at the photoactive layer of ...

Biodegradable polymer solar cells
Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells, 2008Abstract Polymer photovoltaic devices were prepared using a biodegradable poly- l -lactic acid (PLLA) substrate loaded with nanoclay in an attempt to improve the thermal properties and possibly reduce permeation of water and oxygen. The nanoclay-loaded PLLA substrates were prepared by compounding and extrusion.

Polymer semiconductor solar cells
1978 International Electron Devices Meeting, 1978We report the first solar cell whose junction is formed by a polymer-semiconductor interface. Open circuit voltages, V oc > 0.7 V have been observed on cells consisting of a thin film of polymeric sulfur-nitride, (SN) x , deposited on GaAs. This is an enhancement of more than 40% over the V oc commonly measured with metal-GaAs solar cells.

Polymer Solar Cells: Solubility Controls Fiber Network Formation
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2015The photoactive layer of polymer solar cells is commonly processed from a four-component solution, containing a semiconducting polymer and a fullerene derivative dissolved in a solvent-cosolvent mixture. The nanoscale dimensions of the polymer-fullerene morphology that is formed upon drying determines the solar cell performance, but the fundamental ...

Indaceno‐Based Conjugated Polymers for Polymer Solar Cells
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2018AbstractPolymer solar cells have received considerable attention due to the advantages of low material cost, tunable band gaps, ultralight weight, and high flexible properties, and they have been a promising organic photovoltaic technology for alternative non‐renewable fossil fuels for the past decade.

7.7% Efficient All‐Polymer Solar Cells
Advanced Materials, 2015By controlling the polymer/polymer blend self-organization rate, all-polymer solar cells composed of a high-mobility, crystalline, naphthalene diimide-selenophene copolymer acceptor and a benzodithiophene-thieno[3,4-b]thiophene copolymer donor are achieved with a record 7.7% power conversion efficiency and a record short-circuit current density (18.8 ...

Hybrid Silicon Nanocone–Polymer Solar Cells
Nano Letters, 2012Recently, hybrid Si/organic solar cells have been studied for low-cost Si photovoltaic devices because the Schottky junction between the Si and organic material can be formed by solution processes at a low temperature. In this study, we demonstrate a hybrid solar cell composed of Si nanocones and conductive polymer.
