TL;DR: The electro-optical properties of thin films of electron donor-acceptor blends of a fluorene copolymer and a fullerene derivative were studied and it is shown that in these films nanocrystalline PCBM clusters are formed at high PCBM content.

TL;DR: In this paper, an organic solar cell based on an active layer of an alternating copolymer, containing a fluorene and a benzothiadiazole unit with two neighboring thiophene rings, and a fullerene derivative, was measured for power conversion efficiency of 4.2% (AM1.5, 1000W∕m2).

TL;DR: The photophysical properties of a solution processed blend of two semiconducting polymers with electron donating and electron accepting properties, respectively, as used in polymer photovoltaic devices have been investigated in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, an organic bulk heterojunction photovoltaic device based on a blend of two conjugated polymers, a polyphenylenevinylene as the electron donor and a red emitting polyfluorene as the acceptor, is presented with a maximum external quantum efficiency of 52% at 530nm and a power conversion efficiency, measured under AM1.5G, 100mW∕cm2 conditions, of 1.5% on an active area of 0.36cm2.

TL;DR: In this paper, the photovoltaic properties of solution-processed semiconducting polymer blends have been studied and it is demonstrated that photoinduced charge transfer occurs in binary mixtures of poly[2-methoxy-5-(3, 7-dimethyl octyloxy)-1, 4-phenylenevinylene] (MDMO-PPV) and poly-[oxa-1,4-,1,phenylene-(1-cyano-1-2-vinylene)-(2-nylon)-1.4-,phenylene)-1
