  • Cheaper and more reliable polymer solar cells that avoid costly and unstable fullerenes

      29/04/2016

This work avoids costly and unstable fullerenes. Polymer solar cells have in recent years emerged as a low cost alternative to silicon solar cells. In order to obtain high efficiency, fullerenes are usually required in polymer solar cells to separate charge carriers. However, fullerenes are unstable under illumination, and form large crystals at high temperatures.
