TL;DR: The room-temperature structure of lysozyme is determined using 40000 individual diffraction patterns from micro-crystals flowing in liquid suspension across a synchrotron microfocus beamline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Organic photovoltaic cells – promising indoor light harvesters for self-sustainable electronics
Harrison Ka Hin Lee,Jiaying Wu,Jérémy Barbé,Sagar M. Jain,Sebastian Wood,Emily M. Speller,Zhe Li,Fernando A. Castro,James R. Durrant,James R. Durrant,Wing C. Tsoi +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the solvent vapour annealing (SVA) time for the photovoltaic layer was optimized to obtain a balance between its crystallization and phase separation, resulting in a record power conversion efficiency (PCE) of over 28% under fluorescent lamps of 1000 lux.
Journal ArticleDOI
From fullerene acceptors to non-fullerene acceptors: prospects and challenges in the stability of organic solar cells
Emily M. Speller,Emily M. Speller,Andrew J. Clarke,Joel Luke,Harrison Ka Hin Lee,James R. Durrant,James R. Durrant,Ning Li,Ning Li,Tao Wang,Him Cheng Wong,Ji-Seon Kim,Wing C. Tsoi,Zhe Li +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of the degradation mechanisms of non-fullerene acceptors compared to fullerene small molecule acceptors is presented, as well as the very different roles they play upon the charge carrier generation and recombination kinetics and the resulting solar cell stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
The role of fullerenes in the environmental stability of polymer:fullerene solar cells

TL;DR: In this article, the role of photo-oxidation of PCBM derivatives in limiting the stability of organic solar cells was quantitatively studied, showing that a minor fraction of photooxidised PCBM, induced by short exposure to either solar or ambient laboratory lighting conditions in air, consistent with typical processing and operating conditions, is sufficient to compromise device performance severely.
Journal ArticleDOI
Twist and Degrade—Impact of Molecular Structure on the Photostability of Nonfullerene Acceptors and Their Photovoltaic Blends

TL;DR: In this paper, the important role of molecular structure and conformation in NFA photostability in air is investigated by comparing structurally similar but conformationally different promising NFA: planar O•IDTBR and nonplanar O'IDFBR, and a three-phase degradation process is identified: i) initial photoinduced conformational change (i.e., torsion about the core-benzothiadiazole dihedral), induced by noncovalent interactions with environmental molecules, ii) followed by photo−oxidation and fragmentation, leading
