Nanoscale Morphology of High-Performance Polymer Solar Cells
Xiaoniu Yang,J Joachim Loos,Sjoerd Veenstra,Wiljan Verhees,MM Martijn Wienk,Jan M. Kroon,Matthias A. J. Michels,René A. J. Janssen +7 more
TL;DR: Both the improved crystalline nature of films and increased but controlled demixing between the two constitutes therein after annealing explains the considerable increase of the power conversion efficiency observed in these devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hybrid zinc oxide conjugated polymer bulk heterojunction solar cells.
TL;DR: Time-resolved pump-probe spectroscopy revealed that a photoinduced electron transfer from MDMO-PPV to nc-ZnO occurs in these blends on a sub-picosecond time scale and produces a long-lived charge-separated state.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relating the morphology of poly(p-phenylene vinylene)/methanofullerene blends to solar-cell performance
van Jkj Jeroen Duren,Xiaoniu Yang,J Joachim Loos,C. W. T. Bulle‐Lieuwma,Alexander B. Sieval,Jan C. Hummelen,Raj René Janssen +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of techniques was used to resolve the morphology of spin cast films of poly(p-phenylene vinylene)/methanofullerene blends in three dimensions on a nanometer scale and relate the results to the performance of the corresponding solar cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toward High-Performance Polymer Solar Cells: The Importance of Morphology Control
Xiaoniu Yang,J Joachim Loos +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the main factors determining the morphology formation and evolution of polymer solar cells are introduced, and gaps of our understanding on nanoscale structure-property relations in the field of high-performance polymer solar cell are addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Morphology and Thermal Stability of the Active Layer in Poly(p-phenylenevinylene)/Methanofullerene Plastic Photovoltaic Devices
TL;DR: In this paper, the morphology of composite thin films consisting of a conjugated polymer (poly[2-methoxy-5-(3',7'dimethyl octyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene], MDMO-PPV) and methanofullerene ([6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester, PCBM), which are used as the active layer in polymer photovoltaic devices, has been extensively studied using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and selected-area electron diffraction (SA
