Polymer–Fullerene Composite Solar Cells
Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 2007AbstractFossil fuel alternatives, such as solar energy, are moving to the forefront in a variety of research fields. Polymer‐based organic photovoltaic systems hold the promise for a cost‐effective, lightweight solar energy conversion platform, which could benefit from simple solution processing of the active layer. The function of such excitonic solar

Hybrid Nanorod-Polymer Solar Cells
Science, 2002We demonstrate that semiconductor nanorods can be used to fabricate readily processed and efficient hybrid solar cells together with polymers. By controlling nanorod length, we can change the distance on which electrons are transported directly through the thin film device.

Stretchable Polymer Solar Cell Fibers
Small, 2014Power yourself up: a sweater made from solar cells! Stretchable and wearable fibers are shown to be highly efficient polymer solar cells. Their stable energy conversion efficiency variation is below 10% even after 1000 bending cycles or stretching under a strain of 30%. These fibers can easily be woven into fabric from which any type of clothing can be

Plasmonic Polymer Tandem Solar Cell
ACS Nano, 2011We demonstrated plasmonic effects in an inverted tandem polymer solar cell configuration by blending Au nanoparticles (NPs) into the interconnecting layer (ICL) that connects two subcells. Experimental results showed this plasmonic enhanced ICL improves both the top and bottom subcells' efficiency simultaneously by enhancing optical absorption.

On the Importance of Morphology Control in Polymer Solar Cells
Macromolecular Rapid Communications, 2010AbstractNanostructured polymer‐based solar cells (PSCs) have emerged as a promising low‐cost alternative to conventional inorganic photovoltaic devices and are now a subject of intensive research both in academia and industry. For PSCs to become practical efficient devices, several issues should still be addressed, including further understanding 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.
