  2. 1. Synthesis and Modification of Conjugated Materials for Polymer Solar Cells

    Author : Zandra George; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymer interlayer; polymer solar cells; stability; conjugated polymers; fullerene derivatives;

    Abstract : Polymer solar cells have emerged as a promising alternative to silicon based solar cells. One of the advantages of polymer solar cells is the possibility to use roll-to-roll techniques for large-scale device production. However, in order to fully utilize this technique, several issues need to be resolved. READ MORE

  4. 2. Polymer/polymer blends in organic photovoltaic and photodiode devices

    Author : Yuxin Xia; Olle Inganäs; Ergang Wang; Hin-Lap Yip; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Organic photovoltaics devices (OPV) have attracted attentions of scientist for their potential as inexpensive, lightweight, flexible and suitable for roll-to-roll production. In recent years, considerable attention has been focused on new acceptor materials, either polymeric or small molecules, to replace the once dominating fullerene derivatives. READ MORE

  5. 3. Morphology and material stability in polymer solar cells

    Author : Rickard Hansson; Ellen Moons; Andreas Opitz; Mats Fahlman; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymer solar cell; photovoltaics; morphology; photo-degradation; conjugated polymer; fullerene; synchroton-based techniques; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Polymer solar cells are promising in that they are inexpensive to produce, and due to their mechanical flexibility have the potential for use in applications not possible for more traditional types of solar cells. The performance of polymer solar cells depends strongly on the distribution of electron donor and acceptor material in the active layer. READ MORE

  6. 4. Evolution and control of the three dimensional functional microstructure of Polymer:Fullerene photovoltaic blends

    Author : Olof Bäcke; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; crosslinking; fullerene crystals; tomography; transmission electron mi- croscopy; organic solar cell; in situ; polymer:fullerene film; thermal degradation;

    Abstract : Polymer:fullerene bulk-heterojunction thin films show great promise for use as active layers in organic solar cells. However, their low thermal stability is a hindrance that complicates the manufacturing and influences the lifetime of devices. READ MORE

  7. 5. Materials and Device Engineering for Efficient and Stable Polymer Solar Cells

    Author : Rickard Hansson; Ellen Moons; Andreas Opitz; Rene Janssen; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; polymer solar cell; photovoltaics; morphology; photo-degradation; conjugated polymer; fullerene; synchroton-based techniques; hole transport layers; Physics; Fysik;

    Abstract : Polymer solar cells form a promising technology for converting sunlight into electricity, and have reached record efficiencies over 10% and lifetimes of several years. The performance of polymer solar cells depends strongly on the distribution of electron donor and acceptor materials in the active layer. READ MORE
