TL;DR: In this article, the power conversion efficiency of organic photovoltaic devices based on a conjugated polymer/methanofullerene blend is dramatically affected by molecular morphology.

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.

TL;DR: In this article, a CMOS-compatible photodetector based on graphene with multi-gigahertz operation ranging from the O-to U-band of telecommunication bands is demonstrated, highlighting the promise of graphene as a new material for integrated photonics.

TL;DR: In this paper, the temperature dependence of various photovoltaic device parameters of solar cells, fabricated from interpenetrating networks of conjugated polymers with fullerenes, in the wide temperature range of their possible operating conditions was reported.

TL;DR: In this article, the optical properties of poly(3-hexylthiophene): 1-(3-methoxy-carbonyl) propyl-1-phenyl[6,6]C61 based solar cells with two different thicknesses of the active layer (170 and 880nm) were investigated, and it was shown that in the thin ones the absorption is enhanced for oblique incident radiation.
