متن کامل2008 GCEP Report Project title : Advanced Materials and Devices for Low Cost and High Performance Organic Photovoltaic Cells
Exciton harvesting is of fundamental importance for the efficient operation of organic photovoltaic devices. The quantum efficiencies of many organic and hybrid organicinorganic devices are still limited by low exciton harvesting efficiencies. This problem is most apparent in planar heterostructures that suffer from a direct tradeoff between light absorption and exciton harvesting. One approach...
