Star-shaped donor-acceptor molecules are full of promise for organic photovoltaics and electronics. However, the effect of the branching core on physicochemical properties, charge transport and photovoltaic performance of such donor-acceptor material...

Conjugated donor–acceptor molecules with intramolecular charge transfer absorption are employed for single-component organic solar cells. Among the five types of donor–acceptor molecules, the strong push–pull structure of DTDCPB resulted in solar cel...

Dyes with a donor–π–spacer–acceptor (D-π-A) structure containing a dicyanovinyl group as an acceptor have recently been of interest for the production of single-component organic solar cells. The most convenient precursors for...

This study addresses the development and optothermal analysis of donor–acceptor thin layers, including materials universally used in organic photovoltaic cells. This article presents the impact of temperature on the optical properties and morph...

Control of the nanoscale molecular ordering and charge-carrier mobility of poly(3-hexylthiophene-2,5-diyl) (P3HT) was achieved by the combined use of processing additives and thermal annealing. Evaluation of four processing additives (1,8-octanedithi...

With the rapid progress in a power conversion efficiency reaching up to 26.1%, which is among the highest efficiency for single-junction solar cells, organic–inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells have become a research focus in photovoltaic t...

Perovskite/Si tandem solar cells (PSTSCs) have emerged as a leading candidate for surpassing the Shockley–Queisser (SQ) efficiency limit inherent to single-junction silicon solar cells. Following their inaugural demonstration in 2015, perovskit...

Nanostructuring organic polymers and organic/inorganic hybrid materials and controlling blend morphologies at the molecular level are the prerequisites for modern electronic devices including biological sensors, light emitting diodes, memory devices...

The synthesis and characterization of a new molecular dyad consisting of a benzodithiophene-based push-pull linked to a fullerene derivative through the use of the well-known Copper Azide-Alkyne Huisgen Cycloaddition (CuAAC) reaction is reported here...

The publication presents the results of investigations of the influence of dye dopant on the electrooptical and morphology properties of a polymeric donor:acceptor mixture. Ternary thin films (polymer:dye:fullerene) were investigated for potential ap...

A new side-chain C60-fullerene functionalized thiophene copolymer bearing tributylphosphine-substituted hexylic lateral groups was successfully synthesized by means of a fast and effective post-polymerization reaction on a regioregular ω-alkylbromina...

This review article covers the synthesis and design of conjugated polymers for carefully adjusting energy levels and energy band gap (EBG) to achieve the desired photovoltaic performance. The formation of bonds and the delocalization of electrons ove...

Ternary organic solar cells contain a single three-component photoactive layer with a wide absorption window, achieved without the need for multiple stacking. However, adding a third component into a well-known binary blend can influence the energeti...

Molecular sensors and molecular electronics are a major component of a recent research area known as bionanotechnology, which merges biology with nanotechnology. This new class of biosensors and bioelectronics has been a subject of intense research o...

In recent years, inorganic perovskite solar cells (PSCs) based on CsPbI3 have made significant progress in stability compared to hybrid organic–inorganic PSCs by substituting the volatile organic component with Cs cations. However, the cubic pe...
