Enhanced Hole Transport in Ternary Blend Polymer Solar Cells

High-performance ternary blend polymer solar cells involving both energy transfer and hole relay processes

The integration of multiple materials with complementary absorptions into a single junction device is regarded as an efficient way to enhance the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of organic solar cells (OSCs). However, because of increased complexity with one more component, only limited high-performance ternary systems have been demonstrated previously. Here we report an efficient ternary ble...

Morphological Control Agent in Ternary Blend Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells

Bulk heterojunction (BHJ) organic photovoltaic (OPV) promise low cost solar energy and have caused an explosive increase in investigations during the last decade. Control over the 3D morphology of BHJ blend films in various length scales is one of the pillars accounting for the significant advance of OPV performance recently. In this contribution, we focus on the strategy of incorporating an ad...

Charge transport orthogonality in all-polymer blend transistors, diodes, and solar cells

Bicontinuous minimal surface nanostructures for polymer blend solar cells.

This paper presents the first examination of the potential for bicontinuous structures such as the gyroid structure to produce high efficiency solar cells based on conjugated polymers. The solar cell characteristics are predicted by a simulation model that shows how the morphology influences device performance through integration of all the processes occurring in organic photocells in a specifi...
