Journal ArticleDOI
Origin of the Open Circuit Voltage of Plastic Solar Cells
Christoph J. Brabec,Antonio Cravino,Dieter Meissner,Niyazi Serdar Sariciftci,Thomas Fromherz,Minze T. Rispens,Luis Sánchez,Jan C. Hummelen +7 more
TL;DR: A series of highly soluble fullerene derivatives with varying acceptor strengths (i.e., first reduction potentials) was synthesized and used as electron acceptors in plastic solar cells as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cathode dependence of the open-circuit voltage of polymer:fullerene bulk heterojunction solar cells
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that for non-ohmic contacts, the experimental VOC is determined by the work function difference of the electrodes, and that a total variation of more than 0.5 V of the VOC was observed by variation of the negative electrode (cathode) work function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron transport in a methanofullerene
Valentin D. Mihailetchi,van Jkj Jeroen Duren,Pwm Paul Blom,Jan C. Hummelen,Raj René Janssen,JM Kroon,Minze T. Rispens,Wiljan Verhees,MM Martijn Wienk +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the currentvoltage characteristics of methanofullerene [6,6]-phenyl C-61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM)-based devices are investigated as a function of temperature.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of the solvent on the crystal structure of PCBM and the efficiency of MDMO-PPV:PCBM ‘plastic’ solar cells
Minze T. Rispens,Auke Meetsma,Roman Rittberger,Christoph J. Brabec,N. Serdar Sariciftci,Jan C. Hummelen +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, two crystal structures of PCBM, obtained from different crystallisation solvents, are presented; a proposed link with solvent dependence of the efficiency of MDMO-PPV:PCBM solar cells is described.
Journal ArticleDOI
Crystalline organization of a methanofullerene as used for plastic solar-cell applications
Xiaoniu Yang,van Jkj Jeroen Duren,Minze T. Rispens,Jan C. Hummelen,Raj René Janssen,Maj Thijs Michels,J Joachim Loos +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a methano-fullerene, [6,6]-phenyl C-61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) was obtained via fast solvent evaporation techniques.
