TL;DR: The technology behind a large area array of flexible solar cells with a unique design and semitransparent blue appearance is presented and is implemented in a solar tree installation at the German pavilion in the EXPO2015 in Milan/IT.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate several polymer-fullerene systems, which present short circuit current (Jsc) loss to varying degrees, in order to determine under which conditions dimerization occurs.

TL;DR: In this article, the photostability of bulk heterojunction solar cells based on the polymer poly[4,4′-bis(2-ethylhexyl)dithieno[3,2-b:2′,3′-d]silole)-2,6-diyl-alt-[2,5-bis (3-tetradecylthiophen-2-yl)thiazole[5,4-d]-thiazoles)-1,8-diYL] (PDTSTzTz) under inert atmosphere

TL;DR: The development and application of NFAs with an A-D-A configuration (where A = acceptor and D = donor) has enabled devices to have efficient charge generation and small energy losses (Eloss < 0.6 eV), resulting in substantially higher power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) than FA-based devices as discussed by the authors .

TL;DR: In this article, a differential detection scheme is set up to find the dominant loss channel by means of state-of-the-art characterization methods and the ability of fullerenes ability to both stabilize and destabilize the donor polymer against photooxidation via different mechanisms (e.g., inner filter effect or radical scavenging) is examined in detail.
