Nanoimprinted Polymer Solar Cell
ACS Nano, 2012Among the various organic photovoltaic devices, the conjugated polymer/fullerene approach has drawn the most research interest. The performance of these types of solar cells is greatly determined by the nanoscale morphology of the two components (donor/acceptor) and the molecular orientation/crystallinity in the photoactive layer.

Optimizing Polymer Tandem Solar Cells
Advanced Materials, 2010Optimized tandem solar cells based on wide-and small-bandgap polymer semiconductor cells reach an efficiency of 4.9%. In this tandem cell the short-circuit current exceeds that of the current-limiting subcell. The recombination layer that connects the two subcells does not impose important losses.

Multi-junction Polymer Solar Cells [PDF]
, 2008 We discuss the materials challenges for increasing cell efficiencies of polymer solar cells via the route of stacking several cells on top of each other in multi-junction solar cells. For such cells, the recombination layer between the two sub cells is crucial.

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.

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.

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

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
