Alternating fluorene copolymer-fullerene blend solar cells
Journal article, 2005
We present a new class of alternating fluorene copolymers, which can be combined with a fullerene acceptor, to make polymer blends suitable for photovoltaic energy conversion. By choice of comonomers in the polymer, it is possible to engineer the optical absorption spectrum and to cover the wavelength range down to 900 nm. The transport properties of the polymers investigated so far are competitive with other polymers used in polymer solar cells and the mixing of polymers with acceptors in the form of fullerenes is extensive. These polymers are therefore of interest in the future developments of high-performance polymer solar cells. [on SciFinder (R)]
