Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Understanding of Organic Solar Cells: The Challenges
Jean-Luc Brédas,Jean-Luc Brédas,Joseph E. Norton,Jérôme Cornil,Jérôme Cornil,Veaceslav Coropceanu +5 more
TL;DR: An overview of the optical and electronic processes that take place in a solid-state organic solar cell, which is defined as a cell in which the semiconducting materials between the electrodes are organic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Polarization energies in oligoacene semiconductor crystals.
Joseph E. Norton,Jean-Luc Brédas +1 more
TL;DR: The results of a comprehensive investigation of the electronic polarization energies in molecular crystal structures of these oligoacenes are described and the evolution of the nuclear relaxation energies calculated for model oligOacene systems are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solution-Processed Organic Solar Cells with Power Conversion Efficiencies of 2.5% using Benzothiadiazole/Imide-Based Acceptors
Jason T. Bloking,Xu Han,Andrew T. Higgs,John P. Kastrop,Laxman Pandey,Joseph E. Norton,Chad Risko,Cynthia Chen,Jean-Luc Brédas,Michael D. McGehee,Alan Sellinger +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new series of electron-deficient molecules based on a central benzothiadiazole moiety flanked with vinylimides has been synthesized via Heck chemistry and used in solution-processed organic photovoltaics (OPV).
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of singlet excitons in oligoacene molecular crystals.
Hajime Yamagata,Joseph E. Norton,Eric Hontz,Yoann Olivier,David Beljonne,Jean-Luc Brédas,Robert J. Silbey,Frank C. Spano +7 more
TL;DR: A theory for polarized absorption in crystalline oligoacenes is presented, which includes Frenkel exciton coupling, the coupling between Frenkel and charge-transfer (CT) excitons, and the coupling of all neutral and ionic excited states to the dominant ring-breathing vibrational mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Donor-Acceptor Copolymers of Relevance for Organic Photovoltaics: A Theoretical Investigation of the Impact of Chemical-Structure Modifications on the Electronic and Optical Properties
TL;DR: In this article, the authors systematically investigate at the density functional theory level how changes to the chemical structure of donor-acceptor copolymers used in a number of organic electronics applications influences the intrinsic geometric, electronic, and optical properties.
