Journal ArticleDOI
Inverted Polymer Solar Cells Integrated with a Low‐Temperature‐Annealed Sol‐Gel‐Derived ZnO Film as an Electron Transport Layer
TL;DR: BHJ solar cells are typically fabricated with a transparent conductive anode, a low-work-function metal cathode, and an active layer sandwiched between the anode and cathode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solution-processed small-molecule solar cells with 6.7% efficiency
Yanming Sun,Gregory C. Welch,Wei Lin Leong,Christopher J. Takacs,Guillermo C. Bazan,Alan J. Heeger +5 more
TL;DR: Efficient solution-processed SM BHJ solar cells based on a new molecular donor, DTS(PTTh(2))(2) are reported and it is demonstrated that solar cells fabricated from small donor molecules can compete with their polymeric counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficient, Air‐Stable Bulk Heterojunction Polymer Solar Cells Using MoOx as the Anode Interfacial Layer
Yanming Sun,Christopher J. Takacs,Sarah R. Cowan,Jung Hwa Seo,Xiong Gong,Anshuman Roy,Alan J. Heeger +6 more
TL;DR: The use of molybdenum oxide as the anode interfacial layer in conventional bulk heterojunction polymer solar cells leads to an improved power conversion efficiency and also dramatically increases the device stability, indicating that the engineering of improved anode interface materials is an important method by which to fabricate efficient and stable polymer cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solubility-Limited Extrinsic n-Type Doping of a High Electron Mobility Polymer for Thermoelectric Applications
Ruth A. Schlitz,Fulvio G. Brunetti,Anne M. Glaudell,P. Levi Miller,Michael A. Brady,Christopher J. Takacs,Craig J. Hawker,Michael L. Chabinyc +7 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that engineering polymerdopant miscibility is essential for the development of organic thermoelectrics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar Cell Efficiency, Self-Assembly, and Dipole–Dipole Interactions of Isomorphic Narrow-Band-Gap Molecules
Christopher J. Takacs,Yanming Sun,Gregory C. Welch,Louis A. Perez,Xiaofeng Liu,Wen Wen,Guillermo C. Bazan,Alan J. Heeger +7 more
TL;DR: The correlations of the dipole moment and conformational stability to the self-assembly and solar cell performance within a series of isomorphic, solution-processable molecules are examined and compared in solution, in thin films, and as blends with the electron acceptor.
