Organic Bulk Heterojunction Solar Cells Based on Poly(p-Phenylene-Vinylene) Derivatives

Energy-Level Alignment at Metal-Organic and Organic-Organic Interfaces in Bulk-Heterojunction Solar Cells

Ultra violet photoelectron spectroscopy measurements in combination with the Integer Charge Transfer model is used to obtain the energy level alignment diagrams for two common types of bulk heterojunction solar cell devices based on poly(3-hexylthiophene) or poly(2-methoxy-5-(3’,7’-dimethyloctyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene) as the donor polymer and (6,6)phenyl-C61-butric-acid as the acceptor mol...

Quantum dots coordinated with conjugated organic ligands: new nanomaterials with novel photophysics

CdSe quantum dots functionalized with oligo-(phenylene vinylene) (OPV) ligands (CdSe-OPV nanostructures) represent a new class of composite nanomaterials with significantly modified photophysics relative to bulk blends or isolated components. Singlemolecule spectroscopy on these species have revealed novel photophysics such as enhanced energy transfer, spectral stability, and strongly modified ...

Device model for the operation of polymer/fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells

We have developed a numerical device model that consistently describes the current-voltage characteristics of polymer:fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells. Bimolecular recombination and a temperatureand fielddependent generation mechanism of free charges are incorporated. It is demonstrated that in poly 2-methoxy53 ,7 -dimethyloctyloxy -p-phenylene vinylene OC1C10-PPVand 6,6 -phenyl C61-bu...

Improved efficiencies in organic light emitting diodes made with CdSe/ZnS quantum dots and a semiconducting polymer.

In this study, we report the fabrication and characterization of organic/inorganic hybrid polymer light emitting diodes (PLEDs) made with ZnS-capped CdSe core/shell type nanocrystals and a light-emitting polymer poly[2-phenyl-3-(9,9-dihexylfluoren-2-yl)-1,4-phenylene vinylene]-co-[2-methoxy-5-(2'-ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylene vinylene]. The device using pristine polymer as active layer emitted y...
