Dithienopyrrole-based oligothiophenes for solution-processed organic solar cells.

Isomeric dicyanovinylene-terminated oligothiophenes 1 and 2 comprising a central dithienopyrrole (DTP) unit have been developed for solution-processed small molecule organic solar cells (SMOSCs) giving the highest power conversion efficiency of 4.8% for DTP-based oligomeric materials.

Sticky interconnect for solution-processed tandem solar cells.

Graphene oxide (GO) can be viewed as a two-dimensional, random diblock copolymer with distributed nanosize graphitic patches and highly oxidized domains, thus capable of guiding the assembly of other materials through both π-π stacking and hydrogen bonding. Upon mixing GO and conducting polymer poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) in water, a dispersion with drama...

Towards solution processed all-carbon solar cells: a perspective

In this perspective, we describe a new type of photovoltaic all-carbon composites, in which single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) and fullerenes are directly co-assembled and processed in water using graphene oxide (GO) as a surfactant. Solar cells made with C 60 /SWCNTs/reduced GO as the active layer and an additional evaporated C 60 blocking layer yield a power conversion efficiency of 0.21...
