Polymer‐Fullerene Bulk‐Heterojunction Solar Cells
Christoph J. Brabec,Srinivas (Jimmy) Gowrisanker,Jonathan Halls,Darin W. Laird,Shijun Jia,Shawn P. Williams +5 more
TL;DR: An outlook is presented on what will be required to drive this young photovoltaic technology towards the next major milestone, a 10% power conversion efficiency, considered by many to represent the efficiency at which OPV can be adopted in wide-spread applications.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of nanostructured hybrid and organic solar cells by impedance spectroscopy
TL;DR: The interpretation of the impedance parameters for determining the internal features of the device, concerning the carrier distribution, materials properties such as the density of states and/or doping of the semiconductors, and the match of energy levels for photoinduced charge generation and separation are emphasized.
Journal ArticleDOI
Efficiency of bulk-heterojunction organic solar cells
TL;DR: The basic working principles and the state of the art device design of bulk heterojunction solar cells are reviewed and the importance of high power conversion efficiencies for the commercial exploitation is outlined and different efficiency models for bulk heterovoltaic cells are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantum‐Dot‐Sensitized Solar Cells
TL;DR: Stability issues are adressed, coating methods are presented, performance is reviewed and special emphasis is given to the importance of energy-level alignment to increase the light to electric power conversion efficiency.
